Belated Happy Thanksgiving!

We had a nice day at my SIL house. I purchased a precooked meal like last year and that worked out great. My sister, her husband and my 19 year old niece also came. My SIL's house is about 15 miles closer to my sister so it really worked out well for all. My SIL's dog was very good. She is really is quite cute and well behaved. The kids LOVE her. I love that she doesn't live here.

I had a really great trip with my friend. We traveled very well together. It was fun to see Debbie and Richie to ride ToT and RnR with them. I can't remember that last time I did RnR. Of course I got a nasty cold (that I still have) a few days after I got home.

Yesterday I went to my friend's house that I'm doing the 1/2 marathon with for a walk. We only did 4 miles but I felt great despite the cold and chest congestion-just need to get out more!

I did go shopping Black Friday. Just went to Kohl's, Cold Water Creek (got my SIL a nice outfit-everything was 40% off), Micheals and Staples. Last year I was having my surgery on Black Friday. I feel pretty well in control for Christmas except for one thing for Joe and have no idea what to get Gene.

I know kind of hard but was thinking it would make it easier to cut out if I had a border.

I always just printed my autograph cards on blank index cards.

Have a great trip! I'm sure Tia and Terra are having a blast!!!!

okay checking in and printing boarding passes. I am not happy with Delta and will not fly them again. They have changed the departure times from the 2nd city at least 4 times and are arrival time back home at least 4 times. But the real thing is when I bought these tickets it said 1 free checked bag per person. when I just tried to cheek bags online it wants to charge me 25 a bag

I am glad you got all checked in; I bet you all are so excited!

As for Delta... they have been charging for all checked bags for a while. That, plus the fact that they had ended all non-stop flights to MCO from the DC, Baltimore and Richmond areas made us quit flying them. They have put a few non-stops back in their schedule for those three airports, but we haven't gone back.

Bernadette - I am glad your WDW trip and your Thanksgiving were both good. for training walks!!

I thought that too about the free bag but that is only if you get their credit card

So whose done shopping????

Thankfully our kids were good when we told them we were giving cash to each of them. It is about half of what we normally spend each year but with both of us not working, that is not gonna happen this year. They were very understanding.

Hal has been turning wood and making some pretty neat things. He has a lot of orders for pens, pencils and kaleidoscopes. For those of you on facebook, his site is Hal's wood art. I am loving that I have time for the grand kids. I am getting a few part time, fill in jobs and that is just fine with me.

Just over a month and I will be walking the 5K!!!!

Terry - Hal's art is gorgeous! I am hoping one day to have a reason to purchase some.

Good afternoon, DDA!

Another doctor's appointment out of the way this morning. Hopefully we are winding down on these things! Have great days, everyone!

So whose done shopping????

And who hasn't even started? I have no good ideas this year.

 

[my3princes]

I've done most of our shopping, waiting for a few things to arrive that we ordered and I need to put it all together to see where I'm light.

Thank you Elin, I just love when he comes to show me his new creation.

Good Morning,

I've started my shopping, but I haven't sat down and figured out my list yet, so I don't know how much I have left.

 

[Blueeyes101817]

Good morning!
I just have a few little things left to get and wrap. I put my tree up over the weekend (picture on facebook!) and put presents under it.

Good morning, DDA!

I am sick..blah. Haven't gone to the Dr. but its probably just bad cold/bronchitis. I just can't stop coughing.

My hubby took the kids & the dog to the puppy training class so I can have some peace & quiet. Love that man!!!!


So after careful consideration I have decided staying off site during Easter break would be the best choice. The prices for Disney resorts at that time are insane & we have Marriott & Hilton points we can use. I'd rather be on property but if we plan on going for our big trip in the summer I would rather use the $ for that.

Have a good Saturday.

So I was invited to a ladies holiday dinner. Stupid me offered to make dessert. However I am good with kids desserts, cupcakes with faces on them! I would like to make something more dignified.

Does anyone have a good cookie or bar recipe for something with cranberries & maybe oatmeal? Something very Christmasy?

Glynis, I am doing your truffles & coating in white chocolate with red & green sprinkles.

We've stayed off site many times. As long as you have a car it works great. You won't get that "Disney Magic" 24 hours a day, but you spend most of your time in the parks anyway.
