Today is a major shopping day. I do not partake of any shopping over Thanksgiving weekend. I will not go near a mall on a weekend other than for Sunday morning walks before the mall opens until after the holidays. No sale is good enough to get me in those crowds.
Instead, I made plans today to meet a friend for lunch about 20 miles away to the north, then go on to a doctor appointment about 40 miles farther from there. I drove without benefit of a freeway by my choice.
On my way to lunch, I noticed something was odd, and realized that just 15 minutes north of me there was a lot more snow. There were several inches of snow. Ice was hanging off the trees. If I hadn't been running late, I would have stopped and taken pictures. I was driving through the woods and it was absolutely stunning.
After a pleasant lunch, I drove on to the doctor's office in Port Huron, which is where that F***ing Bridge is that I hate so much that leads to Sarnia, in Ontario, Canada. I did not have to go over the bridge. I took a much different route home, and realized again something was odd. There was no snow at all. There I was, to the north, in sight of the Canadian side, and no snow at all. Very strange!
I have seen enough trees, snow, ice, stop signs, small towns, old barns, cows, horses, roadkill, farm land and tractors to last me for a long, long time. I enjoyed the drive anyway, and hope everyone else had as peaceful of a day as I did.

I haven't been out of the house since Tuesday, when I went to the grocery. I had to wait on the computer guy all day today. It's time for me to go out tomorrow and breathe some fresh air, go to the grocery again and get the ingredients for turkey soup. I am shopping more online now than I used to. Interesting about your drive today and very glad you didn't have to drive over the bridge today! Anne
Running late going to lunch? God, do I want to be retired.
I hope you had a nice lunch anyway.
