WELCOME TO FRIDAY NIGHT TRIVIA, NOVEMBER 26, 2021

As my husband and I enjoyed our Thanksgiving Day, we couldn’t help but reminisce on our past holidays. There were many family and friends who shared their day with us and sadly some are no longer here. Yet the day does bring many a smile to our faces. In times like this I think back to my childhood when the family gathered at the grandparents home. The married “kids” sat at the big table while the younger ones gathered around several card tables in the living room. Also remember the hush that came when we walked through the dining room and into the kitchen to grab a second helping of everything. Those were the days that we could honestly sing “over the river and through the woods to grandma’s house we go. The horse knows the way to carry the sleigh through the white and drifting snow.” Yes, it was cold then too. Hope your Thanksgiving brought many memories and the goodness that comes with it. Also, this time of year is when people seem to smile more. Strangers say hello. I wish we could see this all year round.

  I’m here usually and enjoy reading what y’all write and getting answers from you. I just don’t usually say anything. I actually got married on Thanksgiving Day in 1972. Our anniversary is November 23. In that year it was Thanksgiving Day. Hope you all have a good day tomorrow.

Anyone found any good Black Friday deals?

  I got a couple gift cards from a local restaurant, buy a $100 and get a $35 one for free. During bad COVID19 months, they had curbside pickup. A local grocery store had Black Friday prices on food, etc. : buy one candle get one free, buy $20 of any beef get $3 off, etc.
  
  I refused to stand in any lines.

  I don’t like lines either. My feet , legs, hip and back just doesn’t take the walking around a store and then standing in line to make the purchase.

  In the past I always started with Walmart. They seemed to have the things I needed, like a coffee maker or an electric broom. This year it was very disappointing. I do not know how you all felt but there was nothing to buy on line or in the store. I don’t know if it was the inflated prices or that most of what we were looking for are stuck in containers in California. This year I just purchased what we needed. Nothing spectacular. Though the items were on sale, the prices left quite a bit to be desired.

  Walmart does have some decent price on items that shows up in other places with inflated prices.

However, I must admit that autumn was not that special to me. The smell of dead leaves was great for the sinuses. And it also meant that the snowy weather was not too far behind. However, being that I was born in a blizzard, the cold was something I looked forward to. Shoveling snow, not so much.

How about that, a real question.
OODIEBOM, last time I was up north was in the 1990’s and it was Autumn.

  That was the best time to be there. Foliage must have been beautiful.

Does anyone know when the term Black Friday was used?

The part that made it difficult to adjust is it was in the 50s the day before. In my weather app on my iPhone I always keep Alaska cities to make me appreciate it is really cold there. It is -29 in Eagle. Brrr 🥶.
