We got up early (7:30) this morning to help with the bi-monthly pancake feed. All the pancakes, coffee, and orange juice you want for $1.50. Sausage patties are 50 cents a piece. I took money and Ellen helped cook. We only had 20 people show up, about half of normal. That's probably because everyone forgot since it was the day after Christmas.
What do you do the day after Christmas? Go shopping of course. We went to several stores to pick up a few items that we've needed for awhile. When you live 20 miles (literally) from a store you tend to build up a list of things to buy until there's enough to justify a trip. We picked up some pet food and a 4 foot chain lead. We'll use the lead instead of the longer one that we have been using to tie Lucy when we're gone. Hopefully this will reduce the damage she inflicts.
We also bought a new comforter for the bed. The old one was a little small and one of the local department stores was having a 50% off after Christmas sale.
After the shopping we took the dog to the park. She's feeling chipper again and was driving us crazy. We took her around the park and let her hunt in one corner where there is a lot of cover. Then we had her do 50 retrieves. At the end we had a tired doggy.
We got our Christmas presents from my brother and sister in law today. Julia lived up to her nickname (Martha) by sending us a wonderful selection of home made goodies - fudge, cookies, caramel corn, and chocolate pretzels. They also gave us a couple of t-shirts from their recent trip to Disneyland. Ellen's has a great picture of Obama, big ears and all, on it. I wish he was a real cartoon rather than just acting like one.
