We had rather warm weather for Halloween. It was a nice evening to sit outside and greet the "ghosts and goblins" that came by.
Yesterday, it hit me just how close Thanksgiving is this year. I am feeling pretty good about Thanksgiving prep at this point.
I started earnestly with the online shopping. I've been eyeing things and pricing things in the stores and have done some comparison shopping over the last few weeks. Last night, I committed to some of the ideas and ordered them online. I felt a sense of relief just knowing that some gifts have been bought. I think that most will be bought between Black Friday and then the week after, I will finish buying whatever wasn't on sale that day.
I am going to work on the Christmas cards tonight after I'm done here.
Next week I really hope to finish up a few spruce up ideas in the dining room. That will be my main focus. If it doesn't get done next week, then I'm not sure it will get done before Thanksgiving which is my cut off date for bigger projects.
