I went shopping with Kate & Al this afternoon.  Shopping!!  That's not a bandwagon that I usually jump on, but I actually asked to go along when I overheard them making plans the other day.

It was super crazy out there!!  It was a craptastic weather day today, though not as bad as what's a bit to the north and west, so folks were out!  I wasn't Christmas shopping -- I really won't be doing any of that this year (stay tuned) -- but the holidays are definitely in the air.

I needed stuff like Kleenex, a curtain rod, rugs for the back and front doors, and found some of the hand towels and washcloths I like on super clearance.  Fun stuff!  Heheh.

Now I'm home and have HUGE pot of Farmer Armando's local grass-fed beef cooking with some of his garlic and my homemade tomato sauce, and another pot of lasagna noodles, and I'm going to throw it all together in a sec -- two pans of lasagna so that the girls can all have some to take home and that I can save for lunch.

Al's in the basement working on some new signs.  We're busy, busy bees today!
