Made a big lunch of what leftovers were worth eating, had a piece of pie and a cup of coffee, sat in the chair in the library and rested/snoozed on and off for an hour. Just now filled the bird feeders and got the mail out of the box. It's sunny but with a cool breeze here. I received a catalog from The Swiss Colony. I haven't seen a catalog of theirs in years but can remember browsing through all the pages of food gift boxes of meats, cheeses, and desserts. Might be worth checking out for Christmas gifts this year if they packages would arrive in time.

DD and I did not want to go out and stand in line and fight the crowds and we couldn't think of anything we wanted that bad to go out for. BUT my husband saw a DEWALT 12 in. Double-Bevel Sliding Miter Saw on sale that he wanted. He's never been to a Black Friday sale in all his 75 years. LOL He's an early riser anyway, leaving the house by 3a.m. to go to work every day. He arrived at 4:45 and there was already a line snaking around the building to the back for the 5 a.m. opening. He just waited nearby and when the 300 people in line went in he just walked in with no trouble. He looked in the tool dept and it wasn't there. Another guy was looking for it, too, so they agreed to go in opposite directions and the first to find it would get two and then meet up. DH asked a worker there and he pulled out a map that showed where all the special sales were. it was between the lumber. As DH turned to go there he saw the guy walking toward him with two in his basket. He was haopy that he got it and put in in the back of he trunk and came home. Then he went to Lowes, which is further away and opened at 6 a.m. He said he wanted to get the deer lawn ornaments and an angel for me. HE is the one that has been talking about getting them. LOL He also got Werner Aluminum Work Platform Standing area of platform: 39-1/2" x 12 Height: 20-9/16" He said it would be easier for him to put Christmas lights on the house ~ which he said he wasn't going to do anymore. So he had a good Black Friday! And I like the angel and te two deer. I gat my Christmas present last week ~ the new Samsung Galexy 36 III Now I just have to learn how to use it. I LOVE that I can make the phone list big and I can hear much better than my OLD one. I took some pictures of the angel and the deer but I have to learn how to post them.

I'm watching Lands End every morning when they put up new items. Haven't found anything I want yet, but Monday morning they will be having down vests for women for $19. I might get one of those as a gift, maybe one for me too. If you don't get one of the marked down items, the whole site is 30% off with free shipping over $50. PS I want to get a T-shirt for my grandson with a dinosaur on the front. Saw a few on Amazon, but not sure of the sizing (he wears a 4). Any suggestions where I could shop for something like this?
