Thanksgiving Weekend

What a full weekend!  It started off rough, but it was wonderful in the end.  Thursday, Thanksgiving, we went to mom and dad Chases' house.  We had a great time visiting with the fam.  We got to see Jason's Aunt and Uncle, Chuck's brother and their son and daughter-in-law and their son.  They were so friendly, it was really nice to visit.

Friday I went to some great bazaars, Vintage Roost in Albany, Christmas in the Barn in Shedd, and Country Sage in Albany.  This was my find of the day.  Jason really thinks they're ugly, but I think they're adorable.  And, they're handmade!  :)

Saturday we did a little shopping, nothing too exciting, Coastal had grain on sale, so we stocked up.  The cows thanked us by bellowing loudly the moment they saw us.  Then we went to dinner and a movie.  We saw A Christmas Carole 3D.  It was great.  I'm not usually that into animated movies, but it was great.  I wouldn't take little ones to it though, the last "spririt" was pretty intense.

Then today was the really satisfying day.  :)  Is it weird that I enjoy things that most people consider work?  We rented a log splitter today and made quick work of the wood pile.  Some of it isn't worth saving, but we've got a pretty decent pile of wood for the winter.  Hopefully that will cut back on the propane bill.

The chickens even came to survey our work.  :)
