HAPPY THANKSGIVING...

it looks like she's been helping Mom out in the kitchen...

It has become some what of a tradition for Amanda and I to go out shopping, early, the day after Thanksgiving.

Here is one web site which is showing just some of the deals out there. This year retailers aren't even waiting until Friday, some of the sale prices started a couple days ago, check out some of the ads here and remember its not a good deal if you end up charging it and paying interest!

Keep track of spending and make it a fun holiday experience not one you regret next month when the bills come due.

November 2009...

With all the rain in October the elephant ear is really growing this year.

see the lemon and lime trees I plan on bringing them in the house this winter.

Kenneth is still picking jalapenos from the garden and also...

yellow squash.

the cosmo flowers seeds which came free in the mail have taken over and are growing everywhere!

I still have peppermint growing and have planted some sage to grow with it.

Good Morning...
