November Trip

 Going Christmas shopping today, we came up behind this on a very busy highway. He was not peddeling, and the wheels were so thin. We still don't know what kind of contraption this was.



The stores have been MOBBED, with almost no spots left in the parking lots. I don't ever remember it being this bad this early. How about where you are?

I'm not a really big shopper but I haven't noticed much difference here in North Texas.....

In some places. I noticed that at Hobby Lobby & Home Goods many many cars in the lots. But didn't go into either. It was the weekend. I don't go on weekends. Always too crowded for me. 9 a.m. is best time.

Everyone seems to be getting their shopping early this year!

You got some wonderful pictures of the beautiful sky. The stores seemed busier than usual when we went grocery shopping this week, but I guess that could be because of Thanksgiving.

I do not shop on weekends unless it is absolutely necessary..so I don't know. I would not want to be on that contraption on a busy street.

Youngest daughter & I hit up shopping places both Friday & Saturday and commented that everyone was far busier on Friday than on Saturday, which we thought was strange. We were happy to get home tho, regardless! ~Andrea xoxoxo

I suppose everyone wants to get their Christmas shopping done early so as to avoid the crowds... (ho-ho-ho) For my own part, I haven't got a lot of people to buy presents for, but I still started super-early this year - including Christmas cards.

Enjoyed the photos, the man on that tricycle thingy from his posture looked comfortable. Don’t think I would have taken it anywhere with lots of traffic though. We went grocery shopping this morning. It was on impulse because we normally are out on a weekday. The shop was hopping and we had to drive to the furthest point to get a spot. We thought we would have a long line to the checkout but we were only one behind at the cash register. People seemed to be in a happy mood and I got several smiles and greetings from several staff and customers. I actually enjoyed myself :)

p.s. I enjoy reading the comments everyone left and I noted Sandra’s in particular. I only saw one or two people without masks. Everyone else wore them, including the staff and me.

I had to stop in Walmart yesterday afternoon and it was a total mad house. The lines were really long even at the self check outs. I've never seen it this busy this time of year.

Well, after 9:00 or so, the people start to come into the stores. We don't have many stores up here, only two grocery stores, a Rite Aid, a Sporting Goods store, an Antique shop, and the Dollar Store. But I try to go early to all of them to avoid the crowds. Mountain living is a bit different, and people come and go shopping, so I've never really seen anything that's overly busy, add it's one of the things I like about living here. We don't have a Target or Home Goods or anything like that, and if we did, I'm sure they would be filled. : )
