Putting Up Christmas Decorations 2021
After a great meal and watching the Lions lose on Thanksgiving we began putting up the Christmas decorations. This year we had to do things differently due to “Hoot” getting into everything and we certainly did not want her to get hurt. We tried to make it so she could not get into the trees by putting items around it but it did not work, she still got into everything.
We use snowmen outside because they look great if it snows, and sure enough we got snow on Saturday during the Michigan Ohio State game.
A big surprise for us came Saturday as the Michigan Wolverines beat the Buckeyes soundly in a game that they were favored to lose. Michigan did not have any plays for a loss and did not run a third down play the whole second half. It was a very entertaining game but Michigan was clearly the better team on this day 42-27.
We are off to a good start for Christmas this year!
Thanksgiving 2021

We did the turkey a little different, getting a smoked turkey without legs and buying 4 drumsticks separately for a very tasty turkey dinner with all the fixings.
Lions lost again so we began putting up Christmas decorations a day early.

After Halloween Sale 2021
After Halloween is a holiday in our family. This year we kept saying we really did not need anything, but we went out anyway and could not resist the 50-80 percent of sales that were going on. We hit Halloween City first, then Spirit Halloween, and finally Jo Annes, Michaels, and Walmart.
This year was certainly different as there was many empty shelves in many of the stores as they were having a hard time getting inventory in. Because of this we did not expect much to be left after Halloween but we got lucky because we shopped in a city outside of the suburbs where the population was a little light.
