Blessed...

I had to work on Thanksgiving day, so Kenneth came up and we

ate together, he cooked... 

we also had pie.

I was going to send him to WalMart to get us some new sheets

 during the Black Friday Sales...

But I was told not to do tha, last year the women were fighting over themt...

 so I ordered some online instead, without all the drama,

and they were cheaper!  We love them.

also this year I am changing out my Christmas decoration, after 10 years.

we're going "Penguins"

material we got yesterday, Kenneth helped.

I'm also learning how to pick similar fabrics, for future quilt making.

What do you think?

Its for a new tree skirt I saw on Pinterest.

THANKSGIVING...

for Thanksgiving we went to Dallas with Charles and Amanda and went to Lego Land

and Sea Life, an indoor aquarium at grapevine mills mall. 

We had alot of fun they had rides and karaoke.  I especially

liked the miniature replica of Dallas. 

We had lunch at "Rainforest Cafe", Emily likes the tigers, 

but Leah was a little worried about the gorillas.

We saw several of the Volcano desserts go through...

while we waled around the stores Leah had to try on the blue sparkly 6" heels.

STORAGE...

Purchased two slide storage shelves from Sam's Club

 for easier accessibility to under the kitchen sink.
Love a bargain, they were under $20 dollars apiece.

Go...

How many...

 children does it take to bounce Megan?

she says...only me... I can do it all by myself now...

I'ts Official...

after 23 years of service...

Amanda gave us this book a few years ago... so we planned...

we saved.... we bought and paid off the travel trailer, a boat and we even have the pool...

we started the kitchen garden and learned how to can, freeze and dehydrate our bounty...

people called us hoarders...I called it stocking up...

“Lots of folks told him he’d have a hard time getting used to being retired.


He retired on Wednesday, 10/31/2012, by Monday morning he was used to it.”

from Christy Jordan's granddaddy

So give us a call... and We'll see you on the greens.
