HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO OUR AMERICAN FRIENDS

Although our Thanksgiving Day has passed, I remain thankful for a lot of things.  First of all I wish  a HAPPY THANKSGIVING  to all our American friends on this very windy day.

Today I have several things to be thankful for. First, I'm thankful that I could take a break this afternoon to go shopping. I hadn't gone out with the car since Monday because the windshield wipers had just quit when I was driving in the snow.  I thought that it was a fuse and asked my husband to check it for me today. I backed the car outside for him  and I gave it another try just in case the wipers would work, and low and behold they worked.

 I can't figure out why they quit on me while I was driving. They were not stuck or anything. Maybe it was my guardian angel who just wanted me to go home instead of going to the Co-op  on my way back from my doctor appointment. It was Membership Appreciation Week and a huge sale for members and it was super busy. So I take it as a good omen.

I'm thankful that my wipers are working again, that I had no new born calf today.
I'm thankful that I found some cute decorations at Value village and luxurious bath mat, a extra wide size 18 Pendleton wool skirt.




I got this white luxurious  bath mat, a large 15 inch rabbit that had a price tag of $22.00 for $3.99, a small stoneware santa and snowman and a couple of small rabbits and a bat candy dish for Halloween and a size 18 wide Pendleton  wool skirt. I'm thankful that I found some awesome bargain on grocery at the Co-op today. 


There is a lot of wool in this very large skirt. it's in the washer awaiting to be washed.
Stay safe everyone and thanks for your visit.  JB

  1. You are such a bargain hunter. Very strange about the wipers, but lucky they are working again. Its nice though that the rain took away all the snow.
    PS - happy calf-free day.

  2. Kim, we still have a little bit of snow left here and it's really windy today. I'm afraid that I suffer from bargainitis. I'm sure that it's an incurable disease. It's the thrill of the hunt. My Chinese horoscope sign is a dog so I must be a bargain hunting dog. Take care and stay safe. JB

  5. Hi Julia,
    You've found some lovely decorations. I especially like the big rabbit.
    I'm glad your calving is slowing up so you don't have to spend all your time in the barn.

    We are going to a local church for our Thanksgiving dinner. We decided to forgo all the cooking this year. Sometimes it's just nice to not have all the fuss.

  7. I wish I knew that Julia was coming over for dinner. That would be so much fun. We could sit and visit and you could tell me all about cutting up wool skirts for wool. It will be a nice day today as I get to have all of my kids here so it will be a wonderful day.
    I am thankful today that you started blogging and we have became friends.
    Have a lovely day today Julia,
