Black Friday

Is anyone crazy enough to participate

in black Friday?  I did one

time a few years back.  It was

madness and I will never do it again.

John and I had to call each

other in the store to find the other

one.  He nearly got trampled

trying to get a GPS when they  opened

the huge shipping box and everyone dove

for them.  And what we went for

was a laptop that unbeknownst to

us went on sale at like midnight.  Thanks

for the heads up.  Never again.

Last night I went to Pam's brother's

house for dinner.  It was pure chaos.

Friends, family, children running

everywhere, lots of noise. 

Normally I am

acutely uncomfortable in

situations such as this. Especially when

I don't know most of the people.

But last night it was OK.   I'm not

sure why, but I was not

uncomfortable at all.  I think everyone

had a wonderful time of fellowship

and good food.

 I absolutely love how this

card turned out.  Again, I forgot to

take a picture of the inside.  So the

sentiment reads: "May your

birthday be filled with many

blessings"  and is stamped

on an oval like the front.  

It turned out really well.
