     This was a good day.  I woke up and had time to do my morning pages.  My husband and I got up, showered and dressed.  We ate a nice basic breakfast of scrambled eggs and english muffins with peach jelly.  Then we gathered our things, the tickets, and went off to meet my parents at the Expo.
     This was the Food and Gift Mart held annually that hubby and I had attended last year.  There are so many booths and little shops with everything you can imagine.  There were a lot of people this year that were selling dips that you mix with sour cream.  We taste-tested our way through the Expo, even sampling a couple of wines, one I liked very much and the other, not so much.  If I was Christmas shopping, there were a few things I would have liked to buy, but nothing jumped out at me and screamed "BUY ME NOW!!!"  The only booth I agreed to be contacted later in the week was Town & Country, a food company.  They offer a freezer full of food that you buy for the month or months at one time.  They are going to call me on Wednesday afternoon to set up and appointment to come out, explain their products, and then cook us dinner.  Hubby is adamant that he doesn't want them to come over but I am of the opinion that this might be a good thing for us.  He has asked me not to set an appointment with them and I told him I would think about it.
     When we came home, I laid down for a nap, while he started the laundry.  Upon waking, I started a new cowl in royal purple and lilac for my daughter.  I am going to take the solid lilac one I made for her and use that for the Christmas give for my Red Hat Society Christmas Luncheon.  Hubby says he likes the two toned scarf better for Cassie anyway.  Since I am doing the same thing over and over, I have gotten pretty fast so I think I can get it done by tonight, but by tomorrow for sure.
     The evening flew by, stitch by crochet stitch.  When it got to be 11pm, I put the crochet away and took the time to do a little reading of my favorite author, Dean Koontz.  That, and a good night kiss from the hubby, made my night perfect!
