If We Make It Through December, Everythings Gonna Be Allright I Know......

I don't post blogs during the most interesting times in my life. I guess it is because we are sooo busy during that time. I was off for a week in November and spent most of my time either shopping or hunting. i Think that was a pretty good vacation. The best part was that it was the first week of deer camp and during that week they always eat supper at the camp - SO - I didn't have to cook all week, except to make my contribution. (That part is easy!) It was a very good week.
The next week was Thanksgiving - also a good week. I only had to work 3 days and then I was off for 4. Not bad if I say so myself. I ventured in the kitchen this year to make a Thanksgiving meal for Eric's mom and brother's family. I baked a turkey, made crock pot dressing, homemade cranberry sauce, loaded mash potatoes, candied sweet potatoes, strawberry pretzel salad(which is a dessert), a sugar free pecan pie, sweet potato pie and homemade yeast rolls. I know - I was crazy, but I can say I have done it. Mom's meal at lunch was the best with fried fish, deer and turkey!! YUM. Can we do that again Mom?
All of Eric's family spent the night and then the married couples got up and went to Black Friday!! Yep - even Eric and Nathan. Well - sort of - they went to Fordyce to WalMart. Nathan is on the CASSA (a youth charity board I think) board in Fordyce and they were having a fundraiser at the Walmart to collect toys for underprivileged children. Eric went with him for fun. They took the early shift of the fund raiser because they could be back in time for hunting. Tab and I went to all the sales and came home with a trunk full!! It was fun, but we were very tired. We were at Walmart by 4:30. It was fun to "geek watch" too. People are crazy for a super sale and the masses were out!!
Saturday, I crashed. I was worthless. Sunday my energy picked up some. The girls and I went to Penny after church for a horse ride. The weather was perfect and the girls love going there. I do too!.
This week has been somewhat busy. Lots of work for Eric and I to do at our "real jobs". My house-keeper is at my house today, so maybe we can start putting up Christmas decorations soon.
