There just seems to be so much going on with us this time of the year with little time to relax. We are sure it&#39;s that way with a lot of folks. The good news is we can relax on a cruise ship for ten days in about a month&#33; <br />Black Friday at the mall we won&#39;t soon forget. We told our granddaughters, whom we took shopping, never again on this day. To many people in not enough space with not enough parking and not enough women&#39;s rest rooms&#33; There were lines to everything.<br />We did manage to get all our Christmas stuff down and finished decorating inside and outside. I guess someone need to start a thread for our tree photos. Rita is putting the finishing touches on it today and we will take a photo this evening. We wanted to have our gazebo decorated down at the lake, however, weather has delayed the construction.<br />We did get our &quot;Kaleidoscope&quot; hung on our wall that we bought while in Chicago.<br />Now we have two pieces of art on our walls, as we purchased a painting a few years ago on one of our cruises. I told Rita we are getting refined in our old age&#33;<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--><!--sizec--></span><!--/sizec--><!--fontc--></span><!--/fontc--><br /><img src="http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k260/KeithnRita/kaleidoscope.jpg" border="0" alt="IPB Image" />
