New!

Wonder when our st ores will come up with this one....just  walk around, check out what you want , touch the screen and when you get up tot he register it will be there waiting for you.  Can't even imagine how this will work.

What the new car panels will look like.    

The latest gadget replaces all of the above.     Wow!   Technology on the rise.

The weekend is here and it cant come soon enough for some folks.    I have a little pop up on the right  corner of my screen that tells me t o "Complain to Google"  wish I knew why. . . I can probably think of a few reasons.

Well we made it to the new Goodwill Store here in Brookings, and I have to tell you those that beckoned them into our town should be ashamed of themselves.   They have taken over the Pharmacy store which had such class and filled it with every conceivable piece of junk they could find from all of their stores and it looks like a huge junk shop.  the books they get for free are priced at five dollars and up for the hard backs.  I didn't check on the paperbacks.   I couldn't get out of there fast enough.   It is unfair competition to the 'doggy thrift store' and  I hope the town folks realize it.  

There is no doubt Christmas is coming as one house has their lights up and on already.   Rushing the season, I'd say .   The stores are at the ready and we went to the "Bird Store" where the yard art is interesting and pricey.   A lot has been done with rocks and shells making them into tiny creatures to put in or around the garden.   The copper water drains are interesting and clever but so is the price.   They are selling jewelry made by a local artisan  and have a new 'antique' corner.   So it really was a looking expedition and I came home with one hard back book to read  which I found at the Star of the Sea thrift shop.   

So, go, poke around your town and see what is out there, new, old, or maybe you are lucky enough to have a mall.   You know the drill,  make a list, check it twice and remember who is naughty and nice.   Remember to keep your wits about you and not overdo.   You have plenty of time so remember to keep Christ in Christmas and you will be much happier. BUT, take time to enjoy Thanksgiving .  Save a few pennies for the needy, call a friend today and check up on them.  Don't forget the Food Bank is going to need a lot of help this year.   Check your pantry and see what you have to donate.   Be magnanimous.   Hugs to all.
