For how long we don't know but we got our first substantial amount of snow last night. Driving 25 miles this morning was a little nerve racking not knowing how the roads were going to be but I did survive. My many years of Manitoba driving has been an asset. I could have skated to Cody at about the half way point on. Luckily no accidents that I saw. People need that first good snow fall to remember how to drive and not to be in a hurry. I pulled up the same time as a guy I work with and we were saying how driving on a sheet of ice should be an olympic sport with our top speeds at 40 m/h.
Well, this is the US thanksgiving week, so as a result I get 4 1/2 days off. School's out tomorrow at 11:45 am and we don't come back till Monday. A break is much needed by all. We'll be going to Billings on Thursday to be with Jason's family. Friday is the dreaded Black Friday shopping day where some stores open at 4am for shoppers to get some serious sales if you don't mind the rush or potential bodily harm and parking nightmare. We don't have this in Canada. I wanted to go to Lowe's or Home Depot and get some ideas and prices for a bathroom redo. Nothing too major but it will cost some money. We sold some furniture to get some extra cash for the remodel. I'm still waiting for my laundry room to get textured and painted so we can bring our freezer over from our friend's house.

Hey! Happy Thanksgiving. This year with my job it doesn't really affect me much. Your thanksgiving affects the trucking industry a bit more than the finishing business. We are finally getting some snow this morning. It looks so pretty falling. Are you guys coming home for Christmas this year?
Hey! happy Thanksgiving! I have heard all about Black Friday, I would love to go into Grand Forks or Fargo one year for it, but like you said, I hear it is deadly lol....
