Shiny Brite

The Shiny Brite tree is still up. 

I am still enjoying it.  I think about all the people in my life that are represented on this tree.  So many.  Far Guy, Chance, Jen, Madeline, Grace, Lillian, Susan, Sandy, Hazel, Edie, Kay, Rae, JoLynn, Cyndi, Leann, Mildred, Minnie, Tom and Linda.


The tree may come down this weekend when we are having a snowstorm...we will see.

I suppose I should undecorate the spinning wheel too.  These garage sale Shiny Brites and the Shiny Brite Card from my friend Mildred have been up for about 13 months now.  I have dusted around them:)

I was at the Thrift Shop the other day...they were having a Christmas Sale...so I went to "just look"  well...

It seems I failed miserably at just looking.  This Hot Pink Shiny Brite Tree Topper came home with me ...for 27 cents who could resist?  NOT ME!

I did not "sort" yesterday. Appointments were accomplished and a trip to the grocery store and out to lunch at our favorite place.   I did not go to Bingo it was just too cold to go out again in the evening.

Our high was a brief -2 for a minute or two and then went lower ...officially the high was -5 F or -21 C  the low was -26 F or -32 C  eh! ...just another balmy day in Minnesnowda. (Too cold to snow!) Didya know that the snow squeaks differently under your snow boots at different temperatures?  It surely does.

Thrift Shop Finds

Last time I was in town I headed to the Thrift Shop.  Bought a few shirts for Hey Mikey and some hard covered books for him.  Kids books are 25 cents there.

These snowmen also wanted to come home with me.  I thought about making a garland…then I decided that they should all go on the wreath outside the door.  Far Guy drilled some holes in the snowmen plates and I threaded some copper wire through the holes.

Wreath Nov 25

It might look better with some Christmas lights…at any rate the Fall Decorations have been taken down.

The sun was shining yesterday!  We walked and afterwards fed all the birds/squirrels.  Spent a quiet day at home catching up on odds and ends.
