The turkey was ready to carve, and the side dishes were waiting in the wings . . .
My brother was doing most of the cooking, while Mom watched . . . Donnie had banished her from the kitchen!
Everything was delicious, and it didn’t take long for everybody to stuff themselves! When we weren’t eating, we played some cards and checked out the Black Friday ads.
We had big plans with my Mom and 2 of my sisters & brothers-in-law for Black Friday, so we spent the night at my Mom’s. On Friday morning, we hit the road early (9:30m . . . OK, not really too early!) to tackle the “doorbusters” where else but . . . .
Shipshewana!!
It was a beautiful day, with temps near 60 degrees, and we we definitely not the only ones doing our “Small Business Saturday” shopping on Friday!
We all got some Christmas shopping done, stocked up on staples at the E & S Bulk Food Store, visited the puppies at Eash Sales, and opted for pizza for dinner.
It was a great day of shopping – and we didn’t have to deal with crazy crowds, pepper spray, or even get up at the crack of dawn!
