Cleaners

I haven't gone to the cleaners for awhile and when I went it was closed so we went to a new one.... I took 2 nice wool sweaters there and the price was $18 and that was with $2.20 off... I still can't believe it.... Is that normal now and if it is no wonder the other cleaner is closed, no one goes to the dry cleaner anymore unless very necessary.... the sweaters look like new and they were expensive --- I think I will be careful not to get them dirty for a long time.... Maybe just look at them from time to time LOL
Not much else new here I guess.... I started taking the halloween things down and putting away today.... the ones in the house , the outside ones we put away the day after. Leo has the lights on our evergreens and they look so pretty but we won't light them until after Thanksgiving...Thats when I will start to decorate the house.... the older I get the longer it takes so I have to start early....
Yesterday I made sweet potatoes in the oven and they were so delicious. I don't think I will put them in the microwave anymore.... I put a little butter and brown sugar on them for the first time and yummy they were so good. Leo liked his too so I will be getting more. They are supposed to be so good for you. Another thing about me getting older I like food that is good for me more now then ever..... I even like cottage chees now and I never did, Of coarse I like it with applesauce but that is supposed to be good too , right?
Im almost finished reading my book now, it is so interesting, I can't wait until I get his next one
Goodnight and hope you are having a great weekend

Nice cold Monday

Well we are all set for winter now....LOL we had better be because I believe it has arrived, winter coat time. Its only 29 now at noon. We will be settling in for a long winters night...LOL Leo is fishing today maybe the last time?????? wonder when the water will freeze but he will be there until it does.
Yesterday Gary and Leo went to the Packer game and they couldn't believe their luck at the good game they got to see.... they were warm enough except I think their faces were frozen.... they were still red when they got home but that was all that was cold. I stayed home and crocheted a pair of slippers for my daughter in law... at her request. I think she eats them as Im always making her more..... Im also reading a good book. "Dreams of my Father" a very good insight of Barack Obama... Im 1/3 through and its an easy book to read.
I think we decided to give our kids money and the younger grandchildren we will give gifts and just small packages for the rest to open along with the money. Sounds like a good idea to Leo so Im going along with it.... some I would like to buy gifts but then I don't know what to get others and maybe they will all be here at the same time so that can't happen
Leo is home already so guess its time for lunch.... Hope everyone is having a happy day
