Do you try to get in on the Black Friday Sales (after Thanksgiving to those of you not in the states – might not know what I mean) – I have never gone shopping the day after Thanksgiving in the very early morning as some do. I have once in awhile gone in the afternoon after the crowds are gone. Today – no shopping 
we went to Downtown Madison instead and wandered around some museums and then cut across the capital grounds to a restaurant called “The Great Dane” – good place!
A photo of our younger daughter and family – the ones we are currently visiting. They have lived here in Wisconsin near Madison for almost 5 years now.
The grandchildren goofing off at the History Museum on a tractor available for children to try out sitting on and playing with the gears.
I saw this little machine behind glass at the history museum – it is a singer but what model? couldn’t get close. The sign by it said it was from 1886.
the kids listening to a video on times in the 1800’s
A pretty quilt –
Info on the quilt above.
We were back home in time to watch the Arkansas Razorbacks game which had begun to record, but we got caught up with it – I watch football but I am not a fanatic – I got bored with it and came here to the computer instead. (they lost anyhow) I did get more of the table runner worked on – some progress on that – I will get a photo of it tomorrow. I’m not sure what we are doing the last day here – looks like rain.
I wonder if that’s one of the “24” models? Definitely not an expert here, but those are the only ones I’ve noticed with the raised bed like that.
I skip the Black Friday shopping too. It looks like ya’ll had a nice day together.
I enjoy reading your blog.
My DH and I watched the game yesterday! GO LSU !!!

What a great Museum and to have a quilt displayed from Palmerston Ontario what a beautiful quilt.
I think it is fabulous when your priorities are family first. Glad you had a great day. I would have loved to sit in that tractor too..
Your daughter is lovely, and she has a beautiful family. I love that quilt too, I wonder how long it took Abigail to make it?
My grandmother had one of those old singer sewing machines. I belive my aunt has it now. Occasionally, I’ve seen those machines at flea markets, suprisingly they weren’t too costly. I forget why I didn’t purchase the last one I saw (that was about fifteen years ago). It certainly was lovely.
I’m not a shopper, so I was one of those who sat out for Black Friday. We tend to celebrate our Thanksgivings away from home visting relatives, but naturally there are stores available if I really wanted to shop. My aunties did shop in South Carolina. They know not to ask me to join them anymore, since I’ve politely declined when they used to ask me.
