The day after
Did anyone go to the Black Friday sales? Personally, i wouldn’t have gone anywhere near them. i did go to the grocery, and that was bad enough. I suppose lots of people love to shop, but I’m no longer one of them.
We had a great Thanksgiving at granddaughter Diane’s. They have just remodeled their kitchen, and they did a great job. She works at Microsoft, and last Sunday she got back from Barcelona, where she’d given a demonstration for the company, and she thought she’d have a couple of short days, but instead she worked for twelve hours all three days, so some of her preparations fell a little short, like getting a tablecloth for her dining table! We ate without one. She sure cooked a perfect turkey, and the rest of the food was delicious, too.
My grandson has just finished reading “1491″, and he recommended it highly. My daughter took it home, but I’ll get it eventually. In the meantime, “The Great Influenza” is making the rounds of the family. If you haven’t read it, I would certainly recommend it. Of course the influenza is the big one at the end of World War I.
I hope everyone has recovered from yesterday’s dinner.
