As much as I’d like a bargain, I don’t see myself shopping that day either. <br />I agree that window blinds get so dusty. <br />Hope you have a good Thanksgiving ❤️Rhondahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07898829593961271218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-33050867791225826002019-11-25T15:57:13.639-05:002019-11-25T15:57:13.639-05:00That is funny on the gifts and stockings.

Too cute!<br />On the blinds I have done them outside before when nice - but I left them the length of the window and just added a little bleach and Dawn to my bathtub and hot water. I then laid then doubled over a couple times in the water and soaked. I used a very sift scrub brush and just went over them a few times.<br /><br />I stood there and held them until most of the water was done dripping and then put them back up.<br />It wasn't hard just cumbersome. But they are pretty and clean now.<br /><br />Thank you so much for the hugs!

Can we say it's due???<br /><br />This was the bathroom - so small and only half walls to be painted, the rest is paper. I figure start with the smallest room and work my way up. It all needs done.<br /><br />It is really easy - once the walls are clear.Cheryl Kimbleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06485771676254429681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-39556437348776931632019-11-25T15:49:58.470-05:002019-11-25T15:49:58.470-05:00Thanks you so much.

Not sure I've ever washed them. <br /><br />We are going to sister's for Thanksgiving (same town) and I am supposed to bring the original green bean casserole and cran/orange relish! Pretty easy...Publix makes the relish for me :)<br /><br />I have never seen an Aldi coupon. Good for you!<br /><br />I am sure these holidays are hard for you, missing Glen. Hugs from afar...<br /><br />Hubby and I exchange 2 gifts since the grandchildren don't "get it" if we have no presents to open. Our adult kids usually get us gift cards. I have bought my own gifts and wrapped them. (made hubby sign the card! haha.) Same with the stockings---they would be crushed if ours were flat...so I fill them too. <br /><br />lejmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09248900901037211499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-5416263173598893192019-11-25T12:57:01.200-05:002019-11-25T12:57:01.200-05:00You really painted a room?

You don't have to be fancy. My favorite teen gifts were costume jewelry and stickers. Still to this day that is still my favorite gifts, lol. I am in my 40's. :)<br /><br />You had such a productive week. Thanksgiving is quiet for my DH & I. We are getting a pizza from Casey's. Nothing fancy. It would be a waste for us to make all the traditional food because of pickiness, allergies, etc.. <br /><br />We might walk around WalMart after dinner for the fun of it. Our WalMart has a party neighborhood Black Friday. I live on the outskirts of town so all the heavy Black Friday shoppers are hitting stores in town. Our WalMart is shopped by everyone that lives in the area. Our WalMart has lots of desserts they give out. Everyone walks around and catches up. We just spend the Holidays with each other. It's a lot of fun. I don't have plans to buy anything. Just want to say hi to everyone. <br /><br />I hope you have a beautiful Thanksgiving.

Saturdays have been filled with other things and Sunday is always church stuff or RnR (much needed.) <br />I am making baskets for the ddils. A Thirty-one bag, a fluffy fleece throw, a StarBucks giftcard &/or Mug with Tea or Coffee and cozy socks. They each requested a kitchen "helper" (Instant Pot & Food Processor) so their other gift will be this basket. I told Farmer he was responsible for our grown sons this year. I have no ideas and I pick & buy for all the grands. Just need to finalize ordering for those. I will get my mom a box of books from Hamilton Books and I think I'll make her a cozy basket like the girls and a photo books of all our family photos. Finally will be the "Thank You" gifts for the postman, UPS man, Hair stylist, Pastor & family, SS teacher & family and our farm landlords. <br />Farmer & I won't get each other a gift this year. We just get what we want/need when we need it so that takes out that stress. (We both think the other is hard to buy for. LOL)<br />Thanksgiving: I believe all the groceries are purchased. The local kids are bringing a veggie tray & a cheesecake. I'll be making a turkey breast & spiral ham; mashed tators & gravy; stuffing, green bean casserole; fruit salad, rolls and pumpkin pie. We will need to eat after the babies' naps so late afternoon meal for us. I only have 1 item(x3) to get on Black Friday. I keep watching the websites for pre-BF sales. It's an electronic, so I'm not sure if it's better to wait until Cyber Monday. <br />Happy Thanksgiving to you and to all the readers.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02633912756265339462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-68523986263088744242019-11-24T15:00:20.990-05:002019-11-24T15:00:20.990-05:00I'm glad your family is doing well after their...I'm glad your family is doing well after their surgeries this week.<br /><br />Wow, what a great coupon for Aldi, those are hard to come by here. <br /><br />We once lived in a house with a fenced in back yard and we took the mini blinds out there and hung them over the fence and went to town on them with hot soapy water and the hose. It was a good way to do a dirty job. <br /><br />Your menu sounds delicious. I made Tacos for dinner today as my Dad is still in town and requested them. <br /><br />I hope you have a great week, Cheryl. :)Belindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17486895127003368291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-84200767891019222722019-11-24T12:30:39.180-05:002019-11-24T12:30:39.180-05:00I couldn't believe it!
