The holiday season has officially arrived! 51 degrees and sunny today.
Glory and I will be going to Lunch Bell at 2:30 for their buffet. I've not got much of an appetite so I'm not really worried about eating too much; that could all change when I see the food so I will be careful and look everything over, make my selections in my mind, and then fix my plate. After that we will spend the rest of the day quilting.
Tomorrow is my English paper piecing bee. I have no desire for Black Friday shopping. Today's newspaper was the largest of the year and they allowed an extra hour for delivery. I brought it in and threw all the ads away without evening looking at them.
I don't know if any of you have a Dollar General store where you are, but the last time I was there I saw they had sugar free carmel and french vanilla syrups for $1. I got one of each and they are very good. I'll be stocking up. I like them to put in a smoothie, protein shake, or hot drink.
I don't think I'll be going to the grocery store until after I get to a WW meeting next week. I really don't need anything anyway. I just hope there is a week's menu plan in the materials. I like those to get going with and I am so hoping for a good lose the first week.
Have a happy day!
Our Hallmark has a candle of the month mark down but that's it. I do think they have the best flavor and are always coming out with something new. 
I do like the wall candle holder idea. I hope your neighbor's dog is quiet tonight! 
I wish I could wrap your gifts for you! 
I just read that one shouldn't wrap things in the original package so that the receiver won't know for sure what they are getting. I figure I do well just to get the gift wrapped in the first place! Your gifts all sound like winners for whoever will receive them. 
How do you find the different WW sites to visit? 
I just don't take much time to surf the net these days.
They are heading to Sioux City to see Amanda's Grandma, who lives in assisted living, as well as her relatives who came to spend the day with her. I still have veggies to clean, a ham to fix tomorrow morning, a salad to finish, a table to set, etc., etc., etc. 
I will get up early since I have more energy early in the day rather than later. Hope you all have enjoyed your day.

We had a great day even though the sun never did shine like the weatherman promised. I spent most of the day in the kitchen either cooking or cleaning up. I couldn't have done it all without Bob's help that's for sure. The grandkids are old enough that they come and go outside without supervision for the most part; they have so much fun together. The rest of us played cards, visited, played with new "smart" cell phones (which are smarter than I am!), and watched football.
I will have to wait until my meeting on Thursday to see the new WW plan here. Since we are going to Kansas City next weekend I may wait to "officially" start until we get back.
from Iowa!
