I don’t know why I wake up so early and then when I get up, time seems to slip by so quickly. I took Danny out at 7:30am and it was raining. I walked him down the block in the rain but he did not do his business. I wanted to get an early start but I would have to walk him again before leaving so he wouldn’t do his business in the house. I finally got out to Millville by 10:30. I went to the bookstore. They were all used books and the few that were new we were not what I wanted. I need to find something for my friend Sonia’s son. His birthday is Thursday. I crossed the street and went in the flower shop where I bought Ryleigh’s Raggedy Ann doll last Christmas. I was hoping they had Raggedy Andy and they did. So, I got that for her.
It was the only one they had or I would have gotten one for Nuriel.
I went to Wheaton Village where they have little gift shops. I am looking for some little glass vases to put flameless candles in. I thought I’d give them to my nieces and nephews. There was nothing. I have looked in almost every store I can think of. I went in Target – nothing. I went in Petsmart and got Danny’s presents. (He was sniffing the bag I brought in.)
When I came out of Petsmart, it was sleeting. I went to Dick’s Sporting Goods to get some badly needed sneakers for myself. The only ones on sales were Addias. I don’t like Addias but I tried them on only to remind myself of why I didn’t like them. The others were too expensive. I’ll have to wait for another sale. I missed the one last week. The sleet had changed back to rain.
I proceeded to Kohl’s and found nothing there. It was getting late so I headed home. Danny would be waiting to go out. He was at the door when I came home. I had some lunch and then walked him.
I must have fallen asleep on the sofa. Danny was on my lap and he was growling at me. That’s how he speaks to me when he wants attention. It was 5pm so I took him out again. I had a late lunch and I am not hungry.
I will be going to the Red Hat Luncheon tomorrow afternoon and then to the Toastmaster’s Christmas get together in Atlantic City. I will go past Border’s Book Store and hopefully find something for Jonathan.
Danny is whining and woofing for my attention. I don’t know why he likes to sit on my lap when I type. Sometimes he puts his front feet on the desk and his head right in my way. He must be jealous of the computer getting my attention.

Karol - how old is Jonathan? If he is a teen or older, I suggest "The Christmas Sweater" by Glenn Beck. It is a quick read. However, a real tear jerker but with a great message and a satisfactory ending. I am giving it to my grandson who is 21.
