and it is beginning to feel a lot like WINTER! A day time high of only 26 or 27 degrees today and we had our coldest night of this winter just last night or the night before.
Himself did a nice job decorating this year and he's so good at putting the lights on a timer so we don't have to go out and turn them on and off. I like it!
Those new candy canes were a bit of a traumatic adventure as I saw display candy canes in the Menards store but couldn't find a boxed set. So I asked the guy stocking the shelves. Well, it wasn't really his area but as he was my age and remembered the old days of customer service, off he went to check. Mind you, I'm shopping with Himself. So I feel pressure. And I feel pain. Himself's pain : )
Stock (old) boy comes back and says there are 25 boxed sets somewhere. So he and I and Himself recheck every shelf and hem and haw and practice patience and finally after about 20 minutes, he finds them! upstairs! where they will never sell! So he brings them down and I grab mine and off we go to check out!
And I like my candy canes and I'm glad we got them but as we are checking out, I realize these are NOT the ones on display, these are shorter! I'm happy tho and I'm not going back to tell him because he worked so hard to find these! But you know what? There's another 25 boxes of Candy Canes in that Menards store somewhere!
Himself has selected a more sedate mode.
