  2. 1. Which store do you think will have the best Black Friday sale(s) this year? JC Penney's followed by Walmart than Kohls, PetSmart was always good but has not been in the last few years 
    2. Do you anticipate shopping in stores on Black Friday this year? Feel free to explain why or why not. It's tradition even though all my kids are out of the house I will still go not the same alone but up side is I don't spend as much 
    3. What one aspect of past Black Fridays would you like to see brought back? The thrill of plotting my course, using my book of ads, standing in line the wee hours of the morning and just hoping you got what you wanted 

  3. As others I did 99.9 % of my shopping on line. Did venture out about 8:00 AM Walmart dead, needed a 25 strand light replacement, bought some sharpies, and a table cloth. Next stop lowes to pick up an on line order, Tree bag and ornament bag. Then to Hobby lobby didn't buy anything to mention. Then to Home goods, bought a new tree skirt and mantle cover. Biggest score was at Costco 40 pack batteries  for 12.79 So very happy 

  4. I will go first, During this pandemic my family has stayed health, no one has been really ill. Although last year we lost three friends to it. I am thankful I wake up every day . 2 years ago in Oct I was in the ICU with bleeding on the brain and blood pressure of 198. over something. They called the family and the red cross sent my son and his family home from Germany. They were planning Brain surgery when as quick as it started it stopped. Last year I had my hip replaced  best thing I ever did. Many know that I show dogs, I had made a goal and bucket list as you just never know. There are only three big shows that are invitation only Crufts in England, Royal Canine where they invite the top 10 owner handlers to complete for National owner handler where I believe the top prize is $10,000.00. And then Westminster kennel club dog show where the top 5 in every breed are invited to enter before any other. in order to enter Westminster your dog must be a Champion. My dog and I have been invited to both the Royal in Orlando where he was the number 5 Chow Chow. And then to Westminster where he is the number 3 Chow chow. We have decided to go to Westminster in Jan. This has been a dream and goal for as long as I can remember.    

     

     

     

     

     

    Then this is his daughter who is up and coming she finished her championship at 8 months So I have a lot to be Thankful for.
