Santa Hat

The Mama put this Santa hat on me today. We’re going to have a family Christmas picture and she wanted me to look festive. The Daddy took our picture. Click to make us big.

Weekend AND Thanksgiving Grocery Shopping

cart.jpgWe usually do our grocery shopping on Thursdays. Before we retired, we went shopping on Friday afternoon or Saturday morning. We changed to Thursday because there is less traffic in the store unless they have one of their weird 6-hour sales or something.

We decided that today we would combine the weekend shopping and pick up the things we’re going to need for our Thanksgiving dinner. As usual, the store wasn’t too crowded today. We shopped for the weekend faire, got some household supplies. got a few pantry items and also got everything we needed for our holiday celebration.

We redeemed a bunch of coupons and walked out of the store having saved over seventy dollars on the total. We’re looking forward to our weekend cooking and the Thanksgiving Holiday with eager anticipation.

Thimble Cactus Flowers

We spent our Memorial Day in our backyard patio reading, taking pictures and barbecuing. One of the pictures I took is of tiny Thimble Cactus Flowers. To put it in scale, the flowers are sitting on a lobe of the cactus only a half inch across. Click on the image to enlarge.
