After Thanksgiving

I find it hard to keep up with my blog when it seems to me that nothing very interesting is going on.  Friday after Thanksgiving we stayed home to avoid all the shopping madness.  Late in the day we drove downtown to meet Bill and Susie at Catch 35.  Hadn't been there is a while and hadn't seen them for a while so it was a good evening.  Their house is Florida is still not finished - now the builder says March instead of January - whew.

Saturday we did get out to do a little shopping at Oak Brook and Kohl's. Bought a new fancy vacuum cleaner and a cordless vac at Sears.  Didn't seem like the crowds were too bad.  Saturday night we went to Donna and Tony's house in Western Springs to celebrate Tony's and Jill's birthdays.

Sunday we got the outdoor wreath up and put up the reindeer.  The grazing one had so many lights out that we just put it out by the curb.  It was gone within 30 minutes.

Watched an amazing Bears' game.  They were behind 14 points with less than 5 minutes to go.  They had only picked up 8 yards in the the third quarter or something like that. They scored two touchdowns - the last with 30 seconds on the clock on 4th down and goal to go.  Then they kicked a field goal in overtime to win it.  Amazing finish.  My brother Ron was at the game.

Well, inquiring minds want to know what's going on in your life :) I first misread your comment about the deer and thought someone had stolen it from your yard. Karri has a couple of them, and I slipped outside to get a shot of them while there.
