The last place I would ever want to be is at the mall or anywhere near a retail store. I think I just rebel against the commercialism of the season. The spirit eventually strikes me but not on Black Friday. Enjoyed visiting your site and this post!kathleen poolerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02011121167730644229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2632414454343958528.post-44558511006362016582011-11-28T03:25:28.063-08:002011-11-28T03:25:28.063-08:00Well I guess the likes of us here, so far, didn...Well I guess the likes of us here, so far, didn't help the economy at all. :) I have never been shopping on black Friday. I was actually putting the nursery back together at church. We had a pipe burst and the bottom floor flooded...today I am getting the church ready for a memorial service tomorrow. Trying to get wrinkles out of 15 round table linens as I type..we lost one of our dear members on Thanksgiving, so we have all been in a funk.....Darlahttp://hundredsofideas.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2632414454343958528.post-78784989823479300772011-11-27T17:11:28.074-08:002011-11-27T17:11:28.074-08:00Happy Holidays (to cover Thanksgiving and the rest...Happy Holidays (to cover Thanksgiving and the rest cause I tend to miss saying it ahead of time). It's wonderful to have family around at this time of year.<br /> I'm with you, black friday is great for retailers but not for me.<br />We did support our local retailers on Saturday though!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00476326456453144893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2632414454343958528.post-63801624089541085292011-11-27T15:58:53.755-08:002011-11-27T15:58:53.755-08:00I have never shopped a Black Friday.

I'm no shopper. I spent most of the day with my computer too. Aren't leftovers the best thing ever?

Spent my Friday with family curled up reading books, sharing memories, drinking coffee and cider, and got in a little knitting. Absolutely perfect day!Sherrey Meyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04715466245851050537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2632414454343958528.post-47943749685827981052011-11-26T13:35:04.498-08:002011-11-26T13:35:04.498-08:00We had beautiful weather here so I spent the day p...We had beautiful weather here so I spent the day playing outdoors putting up Christmas decorations while the weather was kind. No way do I go to the Black Friday stampedes. LOL! After so many years in retail I do not want near the places. I got so tired of complaining people that I had to retire because I was afraid I was going to injure someone.

Just before the sun set, I ran out and fussed in the garden for about 15 minutes, just because I was feeling guilty about wasting a sunny day. <br /><br />I can understand the retailers wanting to make money, but that crowd is not for me. I freak out in crowds. My family are all back east, so I usually buy online and have it shipped directly to them.<br /><br />I'm thinking today might be a repeat of yesterday. Maybe tomorrow too. Except for the garden part. It's raining again.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16323262555906240701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2632414454343958528.post-2137399983482177102011-11-26T08:52:47.845-08:002011-11-26T08:52:47.845-08:00You pulled me right in there, Grace... really like...You pulled me right in there, Grace... really like your post, and no, we would never be a part of Black Friday.<br /><br />Let's see, what did we do? Regular early morning ritual... cup of coffee, read, a second cup; hop on the eliptical for 20 minutes... a "shake" for breakfast and out to the garden. The sun was shining, Grace!<br /><br />We cleaned up the last of the tomato vines and most of the other raised beds, dug the final potatoes, had turkey soup for lunch... <br /><br />... to friends for dinner and to look at our new kitten, just captured... wild cats that had been abandoned and they found. Can't wait to show him to you. <br /><br />Now, we are back out to the garden: sunny and time to spray the fruit trees. The fun never ends.<br /><br />I can now envision sitting on the sofa with "..." curled near me, and "stirring my muse". I hope your day is a splendid one.Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13160202493785166930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2632414454343958528.post-25098081949768481192011-11-26T03:43:13.457-08:002011-11-26T03:43:13.457-08:00Dear Grace, I hate bargain shopping, the crowds an...Dear Grace, I hate bargain shopping, the crowds and the excitement and have developed what I call the swoop method - in and out in the shortest possible time at a time when there are fewest people around. I do disagree with you on one point in this post - dogs not cats rule. cheers, catmintSue Catminthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14242341696447975933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2632414454343958528.post-58283620494977092132011-11-26T00:44:05.805-08:002011-11-26T00:44:05.805-08:00Black Friday-I laugh at the fools.
