This is a picture of what our backyard looked like when I woke up Thanksgiving morning. It snowed pretty much the whole day, but the only flakes that actually stuck were the ones that fell overnight. Needless to say, I was very excited for Vic & Shannon, and couldn't wait for them to wake up to see our grass lightly covered in snow. So I waited for them to wake up. And waited. And waited. You see, both Vic & Shannon seem to need a minimun of 9-10 hours of sleep, especially on non-work days. (I have no clue what Shannon does around the house on work days.) So, consequently, by the time they both plodded sleepy-eyed downstairs, the snow was all gone. I'm pretty sure, however, that we'll have more before the winter season is thru.
Speaking of sleeping in...did anyone participate in the Black Friday festivities? When the Thursday morning paper came, I read thru all the ads, made a list of the items I thought were good buys and plotted out a course of action for Friday morning. I figured that if Vic & I got up by 4am (Vic up by 4am!), we could be outside the first store by 5:00 and be one of the first ones thru the door when they opened at 6:00. I was feeling very proud of my craftiness...until I saw on Thursday afternoon's news that people were already lined up outside the stores and it wasn't even 1:00! That when I crumpled up the deviously cunning plot and said "screw it" ~ no bargain is worth camping out overnight on a store's sidewalk! So we all slept in on not-so-Black Friday (of course Vic & Shannon slept later) and just enjoyed the day off.
