Special Friday

On this special Friday (what's it called?) after Thanksgiving, we could have gone shopping to take advantage of specials, but the grandchildren preferred to picnic and play at the new splash-pad park.  So we went with the majority.  It looked like a couple hundred others did the same; (they probably shopped last night while the kids were asleep.)  Grandma Kay and I somehow got our second wind after a rough “sleepover”.  She put up an energetic front, while I showed my age and lack of sleep.  The three children loved it!  Special fast food consisted of peanut butter & jelly sandwiches, granola bars and apple juice.  The girls threw oatmeal to the ducks and geese.

The day after Thanksgiving, we are still grateful.  We count our special blessings – not the things we didn't buy on a Friday so special that it comes only once a year.
