Normal
Had a nice Thanksgiving dinner with Kevin and his family and yesterday we went to Lisa's for dinner and to celebrate Juliana and Evan's birthday. They are headed back to school in Maine now and will be home before we all leave for our Christmas cruise.Didn't go anywhere near the stores or a mall on Friday. Apparently the crowds were so enormous that one local mall was sending out announcements asking people not to come there because traffic was so bad that they would not be able to park and get to any of the shops before they closed. I did read that sales exceeded what had been estimated. I guess the economy isn't in such bad shape. Which reminds me that gasoline prices have continued to drop locally. Yesterday the station at the supermarket we frequent, was offering regular for $3.19 a gallon. That market has a rewards program and when Rita filled the RAV4's tank, she paid only $2.49/gallon.Not a good weekend for a lot of sports teams, especially Boston teams as the BC Eagles, Boston Celtics, and the Boston Bruins all posted losses. Not terribly confident that the Patriots will reverse that trend, but hope springs eternal.
