It's A Saturday Thing ~

Happiness, not in another place but this place,

not for another hour, but this hour...

We are already starting to get prepared for the grand kids. 

 The car seats have been ordered and delivered, and 

yesterday Arvid assembled it.  Vanessa and Aleah 

will be safe and happy.  Good times ahead.

Sniff did not pay too much attention as Arvid 

"worked" on the car seat.  He was too tired

 and just slept through the entire "job."

Sniff was not happy initially that Arvid put the car 

seat on his spot, but no worries I cleared them away 

and he had his bench all back to himself.  Nothing and 

no one will disturb Sniff nor interfere in his needs.

Mom and dad are having a great time in Florida, 

even so I think they are ready to go back to their home. 

 In my family everyone loves to travel and visit, but 

what they look forward to the most is going back

home.  Just like Arvid and I.  Nowhere like home.

My parents are staying a big 2 bedroom one bath

 home totally renovated.  Everything they like is within

 minutes of them.  The drive to them is just 5-7 minutes.

  I love that. Even so they now want to go home.

Yesterday Arvid and my dad went out for drinks with 

some of Arvid's "buddies"  My mom and I just toured the 

surrounding areas.  Did some window shopping and 

of course had time to sit, chat and enjoy a cafe.

Today will be another very good day.  We pick

 my parents up, we go to Miami to visit J, and afterwards

 mom and dad will be taking us out for dinner again.  

What can I say?  They are just too generous.

Wishing everyone a day to make more memories. 

 Here it is warm, sunny and all is good.  Happy

 Saturday to all.  Life has it's moments and right

 now we are having good ones.  Again.

A happy moment can last a lifetime if you 

remember to smile when you think of it. A good 

life is a collection of happy moments...

Black Friday ~

Happiness is not in money, but in shopping...

And just like that Black Friday is here again. 

 Time to trample your buddies just so that you 

can get that TV set at a discounted price.

  Ahhh the joys of the holidays.

Black Friday is not actually a holiday, 

but most non-retail employers give their 

employees the day off, increasing the 

number of potential shoppers. 

It has routinely been the busiest shopping

 day of the year since 2005, although news

 reports, which at that time were inaccurate, 

have described it as the busiest shopping day 

of the year for a much longer period of time.

I know what we will be doing.  Absolutely nothing, 

that is as far as getting trampled in the stores.

  For the last week I have been online trying to buy stuff. 

 Can you believe that I have so far not come up

 with anything I want or need?  So not right.

Happy shopping all.  Just try not to harm each other.

Shopping is a woman thing.  It's a contact sport like

 football.  Women enjoy the scrimmage, the noisy crowds,

 the danger of being trampled to death, and 

the ecstasy of the purchase....
