Walmart was full of people shopping for Christmas today. I couldn't believe how many had carts full of wrapping paper and items that appeared to be for gifts. Poor me was just trying to get my usual things. I thought it being a Wednesday that it wouldn't be busy. The store management also seemed to have got it wrong and were pulling staff in from everyone to staff the tills.
I kept bumping into people I knew in all the stores I went to including a lunch stop. I guess most of the people from the village also thought it would be a slow day.
The other possible reason for the business might have been because the government cheques-pension etc. had been received.
Haven't done much since I came home other than put away my purchases and get supper which was just left overs.
Tomorrow, hubby is going to Orillia to deliver his sister's Christmas turkey so I will have a day to myself to sew, sew, sew.
I bought an odd item today. I have been looking for a baby doll and found one that was perfect. I will be able to make her new born sized clothes which is why I bought her. Heidi wasn't sure what to make of the doll. I think she thought it was some sort of toy but when she tried to chew its feet, I put an end to the sniffing and exploring. She hasn't shown any more interest so it may have just been the smell that attracted her.
It was a lovely day with the sun shining and close to seasonable temperatures. Hope this holds for a bit. It is a pleasure getting outside on a day like this.
Happy thanksgiving to my American readers for tomorrow.
blessings,
