We had fierce winds and tornadoes here, too, and eventually lost power. What a scary 24 hrs! Today we have snow. What a strange autumn. lol Nope, I don't shop on Black Friday either. Since we live an hour away from any larger city, I usually get all my shopping done on the day I grocery shop...and I'm 1/2 way done! lol Have a blessed Thanksgiving, sweetie!<br /><br />xoxo laurieHeaven's Walkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16632739764562279850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-71478135425075523182013-11-25T17:55:05.370-06:002013-11-25T17:55:05.370-06:00I'm thankful that you were pared storm damage....I'm thankful that you were pared storm damage.

My closet looks like a bomb went off in there!<br /><br />I'm determined to get a handle on our Christmas shopping this weekend. I don't want my Advent season ruined from stress!<br /><br />My food rarely looks good photographed, especially soups and casseroles. Just go look at my post from last night!

Thank goodness you are all fine though... That bowl of soup looks delish and I could use some today because it's so very cold. In fact, I think I will make some with some left over baked chicken that I have. I do majority of my shopping online and I try to avoid Target at all costs because I never ever go in and get just that one thing I wanted:-). Sounds like you've been very busy and to that I can definitely relate. Can't wait to see how your latest project unfolds. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. xxStaceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17999935218567196423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-81524774044611330962013-11-24T15:31:41.763-06:002013-11-24T15:31:41.763-06:00I think your son's idea is a good one.

Since the doors make it smaller, that may be your best option! However, you'll want to be careful to keep it tidy then. LOL! I am in the holiday spirit since it has been so cold here lately. That always helps! Plus, I knew that once Christmas arrived, I would be seeing my son (away in bootcamp) soon after. So, that makes me very happy. I'm going to be a little sad though Christmas morning without him though.

Love your mudroom idea. I think you could have some fun with keeping that space open. It will seem more airy and probably be kept neater than a closet.<br />Happy weekend!<br />xx, Heather Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17032908426814046368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-56156880781105417242013-11-22T10:32:07.242-06:002013-11-22T10:32:07.242-06:00Hi Jane, The chicken soup and naan sound good.

We're having Amish hamburger soup tonight and taco soup Sunday. How nice that you and Emily spend time enjoying each other! My daughter lives 1000 miles away. Emily got a great deal on the sled. I've seen vintage sleds for over $100. I too will be decorating with a sled, wreath, and ice skates on my porch. The sled belonged to my hsb as a child. <br />So sorry about the storms. Really glad that your family is ok.<br />Our Thanksgiving menu is turkey breast, corn casserole, sweet potato casserole, relish tray, pecan pie, and Christmas sugar cookies. I could add rolls and dressing, but my goodness, already my meal is very full of starches! Well, I may do rolls anyway. It is sort of "expected."<br />Take care,<br />Beth<br />Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09792341123595520130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-75462209164174859912013-11-21T20:16:01.365-06:002013-11-21T20:16:01.365-06:00Hi Jane, The sled is so cute and your daughter got...Hi Jane, The sled is so cute and your daughter got a great deal.
