of course not, because it is a good thing.
but you can bet if it was referred to as
"white friday", congress would pass a bill
saying we had to change it to "colorless friday"
or simply the start of the "kwanakahmas" shopping
season. but then that would leave out all the
folks that don't celebrate any of those and or
ostracize those without the means to shop....
so perhaps we should just cancel and continue
to spend recklessly on ourselves instead???
wow.
well, we started at gary's mom's in northfield.
yum! it was just the 5 of us as machie is still
in southern cal and headed to gary's dad's in
arizona to be with them on thanksgiving.
she hopped in a convertible and drove 7 hours
to do so....wow! that was awesome machie!
bonnie set a place at the table for her....
once thing wound down at bonnie's we packed up
some containers of left overs (she always makes
enough for an army!) and made the trek back to
eden prairie where i proceeded to take and hour
long nap! ahhhh...needed that. then grabbed
more wine and drove to my sister's in chan.
25 people including phil, who is a neighbor of
my brother's and then my nieces had their boyfriends
come along too. it was a mad house! and i wouldn't
change a thing! i love the chaos and the energy.
after dinner we recited the "pumpkin pie" poem
made famous by my brother scott....illustrated
by my aunt (mom's sister cindy).
here's ben with the assist....
i don't remember when we started reciting this
poem, but it will long be remembered as a tradition
in this family as much as the pie itself. :)
gary and i are heading to maple grove to stay at the
hilton up there tonight. just for fun.
we won it last year at the minnesota miracle new years
eve event at the airport hilton and we are running out
of days to use it so...why not.
not sure what we will do up there but we always seem
to get the job done wherever we go.
i'll report tomorrow.
enjoy your day off today!
