9:45am

I took mom out shopping yesterday.

We spent 5 hours out and about.

The time just flew by.

We stopped by a couple thrift stores.

I found the boys some really nice thick and longer 

socks for Winter that looked almost new.

.39 cents each x's 9 pairs was $3.51 for all them.

I thought that was a really good deal.

Then I got the boys each a matching flannel 

pillow case and sheet for their bed for Winter.

Sheets were .99 cents each and pillow cases were .59 cents each.

Each of the boys got a "new" bed this year and while

I had regular sheets for them I didn't

have any that were thicker for the colder months.

The next thing I wanted was some sort of basket.

I had found my mother and father-in-law

a set of resuable plastic OSU plates and cups at a yard sale

and wanted to find a way to present them

as a Christmas gift so decided I wanted to

put them in something like a "picnic" basket

along with cloth napkins in scarlet and gray

and plastic utensils of the same matching colors.
