On November Twenty Sixth I watched the sunrise on my day off…

The sun is up on a cloudy day…

I picked eleven bags of lemons and put them out for the neighbors to take…

I bought new rugs for the kitchen… I have been needing new ones for a few years now… I like the bathroom ones because they have the rubber bottoms… Originally I had rose colored ones that only cost five dollars each on clearance… They lasted forever… I have not been able to find such a good deal since so I broke down and bought the same ones for twenty dollars each… The color is chocolate… They were a Thanksgiving treat…

Hubby began putting up the Christmas lights…

Fall colors on Thanksgiving day… To the left is our Crepe Myrtle… To the right is our Japanese Maple…

IMG_0005IMG_0006

The only pictures I have from Thanksgiving day… It was a quiet day… Son1 and DIL stopped by… We had turkey with all the fixings… Son2 and I shopped Black Friday deals on Amazon.com while everyone else had a nap… I worked in the evening for four hours at work…

And then I blinked and it’s December Fifth…

To be cont…………

Happy Journaling…

I played with my books today… These are all the books I pulled out of the bookcase that I haven’t read yet (there were more that I could have pulled but these were the most interesting), some that I probably bought thirty years ago…

IMG_0036_thumb

And these are ones that I bought most recently that I haven’t read yet…

Now what should I read first…

Son2 is off hanging with friends tonight…

Son3 is playing his games…

Hubby and I are watching our shows…

Back to work tomorrow…

Lots of dishes to wash in the morning and laundry to put away…

Happy Journaling…

Son3 wearing his new sweatshirt that he picked from online and has been asking me to order it for him for months… it was finally cold enough to wear it so I ordered it and it came on Tuesday… He has barely taken it off since…
