Fri 27 Nov

Black Friday is here. We slept in til 7:3ish and I'm making waffles. I believe the old waffle maker has seen it's best days and is ready for retirement, though not an active one. Fortunately, we had a brand new waffle maker sitting on the shelf in the basement for many years. It had been a gift from one of our foreign students after we already had one, and I never found anyone to regift it to, so it was available for recruitment. It is now preheating, so it remains to be seen if it will work. Oysters and toast for lunch! How fun! Had a very nice afternoon drive to Appleton, shopping at Costco and briefly at Macy's, and dinner at Carmella's Bistro. Very pleasant and not too horribly crowded. Got some of the last of the Christmas shopping taken care of today.
