Late Thanksgiving night we decided to attempt the Best Buy Black Friday doorbuster. I sent my husband out at 1:30am on a scouting mission. He reported back that a line of tents went around the building past the loading docks. We then decided to go to sleep and slept until noon. Apparently even in a recession people still need their HD TVs.
Earlier that day we went to a farm in Southern Indiana for Thanksgiving dinner with some family. It was very yummy and the portions were huge which left plenty of leftovers for all of us. The drive was very scenic through small farms and quaint old homes. We also saw a beautiful black and white woodpecker with a bright red head flying by.
Thanksgiving marked the beginning of cold weather for us, but the past few weeks were warm and sunny. We went hiking in a research forest just south of Louisville. It was very pretty and serene with the changing colours. We will be heading there often. (Even in the snow; I love snow hiking.)
Life has carried on with some similarities to California, but mainly differences. For example, I had to buy a pair of work shoes suitable for snow and ice; an act that never occurred in San Diego. Experiencing both new and familiar events has been fun and I can't wait for more (especially the first snow fall).

Sunshine Days
On Friday the storm clouds were moving across the sky faster than I have ever seen before. Just as the storm passed over us quickly and the sunshine came down to us, some goodness has entered our lives. To start AT&T did pay us an unexpected visit and fixed our phone lines. Now we can dump our awful cable. We found a "sushi" restaurant that we liked. Our local grocery chain (Kroger) has really good fried chicken for a good price. Sephora had one last bottle of my discontinued perfume. And I saw a hedgehog running around outside my front door. It is so lovely to be able to walk around amongst trees with falling leaves and seeing wild creatures that I have never seen before. The skies are sunny today and so is the outlook on our new life in Kentucky.
