The heavens declare the glory of God;the skies proclaim the work of his hands.Psalm 19-1

I did a load of laundry & made a pound of bacon before leaving the house.

~I dropped off the 2 pair of special-order Mitts at Napa before going on to WMS & Smith's for groceries.

~I helped Chuck load 20 bags at the food pantry.

~At Goodwill,I got a pair of ladies Cabela's cargo pants.

~I went home,put away groceries & had lunch.

~I went to Big Lots & Dollar Tree for goodie-box fillers.

~Back home,I made Ginger Coconut bars & swept the floors.

~Mike came home early at 4pm.He changed clothes then we went just up the street to the dentist.He got 2 teeth pulled.

~I made a Sedona Hat in Claret/Taupe.

Mmmmmm!

Crustless Pumpkin Splenda Pie-I followed the recipe on the back of the Libby can,substituting baking Splenda for the sugar.I doubled the recipe & it made 4 crustless pies.The containers came from Dollar Tree,4 for $1.Make sure to spay the tin with PAM before pouring in the batter.

~Mike came to the combined church service at 9:30am,where I was admitted to the Daughters of the King.There was a Pancake breakfast afterward to support 2 orphans in the Philippines,but we didn't have time to eat,so I just made a donation.

~Wyatt rode with Mike & me out to the Zia gun range,were we went through an orientation & walk through.It was too cold to shoot,so Wyatt just put a dozen shells through his shotgun to loosen it up.

~After Mike & I got home,we just spent the afternoon being lazy.

Scarf Sold!!

I sold a Garland of Blossoms scarf in Black/Lipstick/Claret to Leslie in CA.

~I left the house around 8:30am so I could get a few groceries at WMS then be first in line when the pharmacy opened.The prescription Mike called in on Thursday didn't show up!I was able to give it to them there,but it took an extra 20 minutes.

~On the way into WMS,I saw the Toys for Tots box,remembering Mike saying the box at their store was empty.I got a boy & girl gift,dropping them off at Napa before going home.They were sad I didn't bring cookies!

~After putting the groceries away & getting a bite to eat,I went to JoAnns,using a 50%-off coupon on a skein of yarn to make a pair of gift Mitts.

~At the downtown Big Lots, I got granola bars & a 3-pack of gloves for the Woolly Tree.

~I stopped at a new $1 store & found a case to fit my phone(it kept falling out of my back pocket when I was gathering leaves on Thursday) & a fancy beaded hair band.

~At Savers,I found a pair of gray jeans,2 long sleeve button up shirts,1 sleevelss button up shirt & 1 plate.

~I picked up another skein of Mitt yarn,with 40% off,& a plaid take-out box at Hobby Lobby & a skein of Gift War scarf yarn,with 50% off,at Michael's.

~Back home,for good this time,I washed some baking dishes leftover from yesterday,unloaded the dishwasher,folded laundry,then finally got to work on the Gift War scarf.

~I made Mike a bacon cheeseburger sammie for supper.

~I finished the Gift War scarf!Both Mike & I like it,so it is unisex enough,I guess!

Bump in the night

If you chose to have a gun for personal/home protection,please take classes!Introduction to Handguns,Concealed Carry License Course & Defensive Handgun Techniques are what I recommend!

~I spent the morning cleaning the house.

~Around noon,I went to the Family Thrift Center & got a coffee mug,small picnic basket & Nativity ornament at the 1/2-price sale.

~Susan came by at 1pm.We started the turkey then spent time crocheting.

~We had Thanksgiving dinner at 6pm for 12 family & friends.We also played Apples to Apples.It was a great evening!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to all my friends & family!I am blessed!!

~Mike & I went up to the church to water the trees.I picked up 2 bags of leaves.Mike check my office computer & says it just needs more memory.But,it is so old,he will have to order the memory online.

~There is always a basket each of "kiddie" candy mix & "chocolate" candy mix on my desk.I have noticed that nobody eats the Whoppers!So,I brought them all home & made Whopper cookies.I decided,with the Whoppers,there was no way to redeem these cookies by using Splenda or wheat flour,so I just followed the receipe.They taste like eating sugar straight from the bowl!I packaged them up in groups of 4 and plan to put them in the bags next week at Food Pantry.

~We went to the Mallory's at 2pm for Thanksgiving.It was a fun time!
