Linda's Sunflower

Happy Thanksgiving! With this warm weather, it sure doesn't feel like the end of November. Yesterday we broke a record set in 2010 - it got up to 74! I think it's supposed to be in the high 60's today. I am thoroughly disgusted that a lot of stores are opening at 6pm or 8pm tonight to begin Black Friday sales. I think they should go back to 4 or 5am openings on Friday morning. Pretty soon they'll be opening at noon or earlier on Thanksgiving. I did enjoy the paper this morning though! We had a TON of inserts!

Really enjoyed my first Daniel Craig James Bond movie! Brandon, Kaitlin and I saw it in IMAX today.

Why did Kaleb's friend Alicia have to tell me that Walmart carries these now?

I read 11 books in October: 1) A Fool's Gold Christmas - Susan Mallery (Kindle) 2) When Lightning Strikes - Brenda Novak (Kindle) 3) Last To Die - Tess Gerritsen (Hardback) 4) The Hunter - John Lescroart (Hardback) 5) The Wedding Dance - Lucy Kevin (Kindle) 6) The Wedding Song - Lucy Kevin (Kindle) 7) Oath of Office - Michael Palmer (Hardback) 8) Sleep No More - Iris Johansen (Hardback) 9) When Snow Falls - Brenda Novak (Kindle) 10) When We Touch - Brenda Novak (Kindle) 11) My Kind of Christmas - Robyn Carr (Kindle) Palmer is one of my favorite authors, and Oath of Office was great: suspenseful and thrilling! Gerritsen delivered on Last to Die, as always. And Johansen, while continuing her Eve Duncan series, had a winner as well. Novak is a new favorite, so will be looking for more of her books to read. On to November - my first book is NYPD Red by James Patterson...
