Traditions

Almost all the leftovers are gone, turkey soup was made, Black Friday is over and tomorrow is Cyber Monday; Christmas is coming at me like a speeding train. Today  Baby Bird and I and  The Grands took our annual trip to World Market Cost Plus. This has become one of our traditions and one we always enjoy; we walk around the store either together or alone, browsing all the fun items for sale, along with speciality  coffees and foods. This year as we entered the store we were given a ticket to received a free Downton Abbey Tea Mug. I don't watch the program, but liked the idea of a free mug!  After spending quite a bit of time looking at almost everything  we go to the register and have to hide items from each other as we have all purchased gifts for one another. Since I spent over $20, I also received a Downton Abbey  Reusable bag. After World Market we all went to Michael's and the Grands also shopped Target, then it was home for lunch. Turkey Soup and Mac and Cheese! From the time we left the house about 9:15 AM to the time we arrived at World Market about 9:35 AM, the temperature had dropped 30 degrees! Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr


Words froze in the air. If you wanted to hear what someone said, you had to grab a handful of sentences and take them in by the fire!
