Wednesday started off quite chilly. I decided to get out and shop first thing.(wore a coat this time too.) First stop, little Giant, (as opposed to the Big Giant,,,size of the store)) for turkey and all the trimmings. we had a coupon for a free bird, but settled on a breast only as that is enough. I also made a few other stops before lunch, Best Buys for a camera card and Wal-Mart prescriptions and cat treats. Every other store was quiet, and parking was a breeze. After lunch i spent two more hours outside moving leaves. I wanted to get all the bird feeding stations ready for bad weather and the call for thanksgiving day is sleet. Tomorrow i will just need to refill everything in the side yard, then just watch to see who visits.
The food markets were the busiest today. There was a time when a holiday meant everyone was home enjoying and all stores were closed. Not anymore! Most food markets here are open on thanksgiving day till mid afternoon. No reason to forget anything for a meal and not be able to pick it up last minute.
Traveling from here to there through the township, and out again at 5p.m. for the last few things i forgot to pick up earlier, i was surprised to see Christmas lights turned on at several houses. You understand that here in the country people don't take their Christmas lights down after the holiday. They stay up year round. The lights don;t get turned on at other times of the year. Even we city people leave the lights up all year. It is so dark here and no street lights.. sometimes it is the only way to find a house after dark. if you are expected. "we'll put the Christmas lights on so you can find the house!". Then you find out your neighbor was doing the same thing too.
well dinner is finished. I will be taking a break, then starting the prep for tomorrows dinner, a day of cooking, feasting and watching the thanksgiving parade.
Happy Thanksgiving and Country Blessings to all.
