Choosing not to set our alarm for the wee & still-very-dark hours of the morning, we didn't get up crazy early to hit Menard's. We are pretty happy that we didn't because when we did roll up there around 7:30, the parking lot was overflowing and customers were parked along the road all willy-nilly! If that is how things were an hour & a half after opening, I can only imagine the madness prior to! No thank you!!! We drove right on past and went to breakfast at Cracker Barrel instead.
After filling up on coffee, pancakes & french toast, we headed back to Menard's to try our luck and, maybe, pick up a few other things. No luck on the TV...guess it brought many out to Menard's for the deal!!! We checked out the laminate countertops and grabbed some more mounting tape for the window plastic that we put up every year (it really does help keep our home warmer and I know it must save on our electric bill). I am going to surprise my mom and send her a couple window plastic kits (she lives in Florida) b/c I know she wants to put some up in my sister/niece's room and I doubt she will have much luck finding any kits her way. The second best part of that is we can get a rebate (in the form of a merchandise credit) for both kits and then we will use that toward the countertop purchase. Suh-weet deal!!!
I took some pics of the food & wines we took to my aunt's for Thanksgiving, but have yet to upload them to my computer ... so a Thanksgiving recap will be on tap. Probably be mixed with photos and details from our trip into Chicago tomorrow.
Grateful for the time we have spent with family, eating great food and drinking good wine! And for the time we have spent just the two of us, relaxing & watching movies.
Enjoy the rest of your holiday weekend ~~ in whatever "madness" is to your liking!!!
