Oh....My....Gosh....

I will never need any clothing items for the rest of my life!!

I feel like I have raided a celebrities closet

there are sooooooooooo

many clothes I have been given!!

It blows what clothing I have away!

This stuff looks brand new and some even have the

tags still on them!!

They are not bo bo brands either for women.

Lots have been gotten off of QVC shopping channel.

Some clothing even comes in one of each color offered.

I'm supplied with everything 

from jackets for all seasons, socks, undies, slippers, girdles,

riding boots, snow shoe boots, dress shoes, tennis shoes,

sandals, many kinds of belts, pajamas for all seasons, robes,

jeans, dress pants, sports pants, casual pants,

dresses, skirts, summer dresses, shorts, capris, t-shirts, 

summer tops, sweat pants, sweat shirts,

sweaters, all different kinds of shirts from

short sleeve to long sleeve, button sweaters.

Some outfits are matching.

Some things I can give to the kids that are neutral clothing

like sweatshirts, sweat jackets and socks!

I even found hubby about 3 or so pairs of diabetic socks in there.

Oh my goodness did I miss anything, I'm sure I did

because I still have a couple more bags in the truck

along with many shoe boxes to still go through.

I can pass my good fortune onto others that need

it and as gifts for Christmas.

I plan to give clothing as gifts to 2 people

because I don't have much for gift giving,

stock my closet with it,

some I'm giving to my kids and hubby,

and the rest I am donating to a charity

called The Kidney Foundation.

PLUS...

I am being told there is still more clothing to come

and I am being given a sewing machine!!

I'm so overwhelmed by everything it ain't even funny.

To me it's one heck of a Christmas gift and blessing!

Even the cats have found them a new toy or two

from the pile of socks I've been going through.

I would like to get a turkey this year.

The best price I've found so far is at Meijer

which requires a $20 purchase to get

$10 or $17 off a turkey.

Well I've already went to Kroger to do my grocery

shopping and don't have an extra $20 to just

spend to get a turkey when I could be using that

money to get a turkey.

What to do?

Mom shops at Meijer for groceries.

So here's what we plan on doing.

We are going to split her grocery list in half.

I shop for half of her list, she shops for the other half.

We each go through the line together with separate orders

using her same bank card for each of them

since it is her groceries she's getting.

In each order will be a discounted turkey, one for her, one for me.

And I'll just pay mom cash for the cost of my turkey.

Wallah, no extra money spent to get my turkey.


7:20pm


So I went to my friend's house this afternoon
to pick up a sewing machine she was giving me.
Along with the sewing machine
she also gave me a tablet.
Oh...My...Gosh!!!
I am so lost for words.
She lost her mother recently and has been sharing
things with our family.
Santa came early this year that's for sure!
