Shopping day

I guess this was a big day for getting bargains. I didn't get any. I stayed home most of the day and then went to the book store to look for books for Christmas gifts but didn't find any of the kind I was looking for. The last couple of years I have gotten books to give to the kids along with a little gift and money but this year I struck out and now I have to rethink it. I guess I should go to a couple of other book stores first before I give up. It might do to get a new card at Sams because they always have good deals on books etc. If I can't get a book maybe a desk calendar or a boxed one according to the likes of the different ones. Its always such a dilemma.

We had some pretty snow flakes today and it won't be long before we can make a snowman. I have some plastic ones lit up in the back yard but I like the  real ones better. I am glad the snow was just pretty and didn't stay on the road though. The first snow always seems slipperier than the rest because we have to learn how to drive all over again.

Sam's does have lots of books for good prices this year. They also have a few calendars, but not as many as the calendar store at Bay Park. I think the calendars are a good idea, too.

I didn't hit the stores either. I say I'm done with Christmas shopping, but I know I will still pick up a few things during the season. The mood just gets you and you have to get more. :-)
