Hope everyone had a very Happy Thanksgiving.
We spent Thanksgiving Day with friends. It was the usual fair of eating until you could barely breathe, took a walk, and then we played an enticing game of Scrabble. It really was a wonderful Thanksgiving. We have so much for which to be thankful.
We are still learning our smart phones and still having issues with our U-verse. Earlier this week the internet went down, again. This time they sent a repairman who seems to think the problem is in the AT&T wires and not our home wiring. The internet came up again and we were happy. It went down again today requiring us to call, again. We are back on the internet now. It comes and goes. I sure wish they would fix the problem.
Today I received The Square. The Square is the entire reason we got the smart phones and the U-verse in the first place. The Square allows Cajun Stitchery to accept credit cards. I must have Wi-Fi available so it should work at the house. I’m going to the Perdido Bay Golf Club this afternoon where we will have a booth with other local small businesses. I sure hope we can get Wi-Fi there so I can accept credit cards.
Buy from local small businesses day is a great idea. There has been a lot of publicity. I’m thinking that most shoppers want to buy from local small businesses but the prices that many small businesses have to charge is more than people pay at the Wal-Mart type businesses. In addition to that, it is the day after Black Friday when shoppers are really hyped about getting bargains. Cajun Stitchery has drastically reduced the price on many of our items that we will be selling today. We are also looking into various machines that will help us produce a better product and be able to reduce prices at the same time. The problem, of course, is that the machines cost a lot of money that we would have to recoup.
The boring needles came in. I’m a little nervous about using them and I’m waiting for my friend to try her’s first. I read as much literature as I could find on them, including watching some videos. It just appears that an attachment is necessary. I contacted the manufacturer of our machine but they never returned my call.
If anyone is interested in bath robes, let me know. I’m getting ready to place an order for some waffle weave robes, 48” long, hotel quality, one size fits all. They are going to cost about $50 each, plus shipping. Of course, the more I purchase, the lower the shipping rate.
CHRISTMAS is around the corner. Get that Christmas shopping done now and enjoy the holidays.

Thank you Marshall Larrivere for the following:
Walking into the bar, Boudreaux said to Charlie
the bartender, “Pour me a stiff one - just had another fight with the
little wife.”
“Oh yeah?” said Charlie, “And how did this one end?”
“When it was over,” Boudreaux replied, “She came
to me on her hands and knees.”
“Really,” said Charles, “Now that's a switch!?
What did she say?”
She said, “Come out from under the bed, you little
coward.”
