I didn't do a photo hunt today -- didn't have anything in my archives and couldn't think of anything in particular...til just now! But it's too wet outside to go get a picture of it. And by mid-morning it's almost too late to do the photo hunt anyway.

We were going to go get our tree today. We don't usually this early -- I like to savor a little bit of Thanksgiving season before turning to Christmas. But with older kids with jobs, we figured it would be best to do it while we're all off. But it's raining out, so we'll have to see if it clears up enough later on.

I am NOT a black Friday shopper. I just can't deal with the crowds and crowdedness. And I don't venture out that early for much of anything. I did go to Michael's in the afternoon for one sale, but the whole display wall of what I was looking for was empty. Even then there were no empty shopping carts, lines were long, aisles were crowded -- I think I left within 5-10 minutes. I prefer to shop weekday mornings -- or online.

I haven't seen that movie -- sounds interesting!

I forgot it was Saturday and forgot completely.
I hope all is well and that you have found some peace and lightness.
Hugs!

Heavy Metal, lol, very clever, Melli! love the sculpture!
Glad you had a nice lunch and day. I can't stand crowds!

This movie reminds me of one I saw years ago. It starred Gary Cooper as a Quaker, drafted as an objector.
Sergeant York was the name of the movie. Very much like the one you wrote about. I think you would enjoy it, too.

Love your reason to not blog Friday!!

Thank you for visiting my Photo Hunt last week. I am finally getting caught up!

Good thing your husband didn't agree to go to Walmart, crazy shoppers everywhere! I also don't go shopping on Black Friday, well kinda. I looked for deals online. :o)
Thanks for viewing my photohunt.

thats a pretty piece!

This is a great sculpture! I love it. I want it in my yard!

I HAD to go shopping on Black Friday. The Doctor prescribed it. Honest.

I woke yesterday with a swollen eye. NOT the skin around my eye, the eye itself was swollen. Needless to say, I called the Doc! She said, "Come now." So I did.

Turns out (after I snatched OC away from work to come with me because I was scared) that it is allergies. Doc prescribed simple over-the-counter meds and sent me off to the drug store to get them. OC insisted on being released from that duty. I spent over an hour standing in line to buy $40.00 worth of medicine -- behind people buying everything NOT medicinal. Why do drug stores have to be department stores, too?

Hi Meli,
I think you did a fantastic job. It's metal and a sculpture titled heavy metal player. I love it.

Everyone is posting the most lovely pictures. Oh dear I was silly with mine.

This "Black Friday" really is something huh? I can't stand crowds either!

By  Jientje, at 11/29/2008 5:35 PM  

We went to my son's and celebrate Thanksgiving. No fights. No shopping. Just the family together.The Conscientious Objector sounds like a great movie. Faith can cause you to do great things.
Glad that Dennis enjoyed it with you.

That's an interesting heavy metal sculpture!
I'm curious about the 'Conscientious Objector', I'll try to get the movie.
Happy weekend!

I don't know the movie but I knew a lot of "conscientious objectors"especially young germans who didn't want to follow the footsteps of their fathers and create the same disaster. They had to do 2 years of service in Hospitals or retirement homes instead of one year military service. In Belgium and Italy there were a lot of them too.
I am back in the cold and arrived yesterday night at 3 am ! Feel a little upside down !

So glad you two got to spend some time together. The movie sounds fantastic. I might have to look for that one. I haven't done the netflix thing, but may look into it after the holidays.
