Monday-Tuesday

The Southern Christmas Show Don't these pictures give you warm fuzzies? Put you in the holiday mood?This was me going in:

This was me coming out:



We decided to go during the week to avoid the crowds. I hate crowds. To say I don't deal well with them is an understatement. Unfortunately, we picked Monday, forgetting many offices close to honor Veterans Day.   Apparently, everyone that didn't have to work decided to go to the Christmas Show.  Interspersed with the folks shuffling from booth to booth, area to area, were wheelchairs, strollers, and my fave, backpacks on wheels. Think rush hour traffic when the lanes aren't moving. The HH suggested sampling some of the wines to take the edge off but there were even lines for that. Heh. We made the circuit, grabbed lunch and boogied home.
AND..... Question for the day. Why aren't grapes sold by the half-pound or pound instead of overflowing plastic bags that you know at least half a dozen people have handled to pick out the ones they want? Or taste tested to make sure they are good.
AND...Enough grumbling. How about butterflies:)How to help Monarchs:
AND....More Monarchs.

I just checked the calendar and realized I missed a very important birthday. Belated congrats and well wishes, Lee.
