Not Listening to Myself!

 Happy Tuesday to all.  The days are quickly ticking by.  The end of the month will be here in a few days.  It is a cold morn (but sunny) for sure.  It is 25* colder this morning from yesterday morning!  Come the weekend, our temps aren't supposed to get above the freezing mark at all!!  Have fun Black Friday shoppers.  Boy oh boy, am I glad I don't do that anymore.  I will stay warm and cozy and safe at home that day.

He-he!  Yep, I think that may be good advice for those of us celebrating turkey day.  Lots of goodies to eat and try - and leftovers and well, usually we all eat more than usual.

I went out Sunday to visit sis.  By the way, she is doing much better each week.  They say maybe a couple weeks before she goes home.  I really hope it is a little longer, so she gains more strength.  But I digress, she does get to go out for Thanksgiving!  She will be going to her daughter's and all her kids and most of her grands will be there.  I love that for her. (the boys will go get her)

It was quite nice by the time I left her, so I decided I best make use of the day.  I stopped to do my monthly gas tank fill-up.  I needed to use my points before they expire at end of month to get a discount.  After the discount, I paid 1.99/gallon!  WOO-HOO.  That is the best price I have paid in a few years.

Well, I was at Turkey Hill gas station - Kroger's gas station.  It sits right in front of Kroger.

Let's see - I said stay out of stores this week!  Yeah, well the lot was about empty, so I ran in to see what I might find.  I got 2 nice grapefruit (red) in the clearance for .99/2.  Then I walked to meat department.  I got 3 1lb. packs of pork/angus mix ground for 1.75/lb.  I had to get it - 1.75/lb. meat is basically unheard of now days.  So many uses.

It's sell date was 3 days out.  Repackaged and in the freezer.  I really had no plans to get anything - but when you find a deal - well, you get it.  Sometimes, I believe we are moved to go places or check things.  I love it when I am put in the right spot at the right time.

So no, I didn't follow my own advice, but there was no crowd at all - the store was basically empty.  Maybe because it was a Sunday morning.  

I am now home for the duration, as far as shopping or driving myself somewhere.  I will go out with family for Thanksgiving.

Yesterday turned out to be such a warm day - although cloudy.  I walked over the neighbor's house - they were having a tree cut down - and we talked for a while.  Windows actually got opened for a bit.

I imagine many of you are readying the house and all the goodies for the holiday.  Tomorrow, I have a small boneless turkey breast I will remove from the freezer - I will bake it Friday - got to have my leftovers!

Thanks for being here.  Hoping you all have a good day.

I will post something tomorrow as well.

Blessings to all.
