Christmas tree and decorations up today...

Elaine's wonderful package of presents arrived yesterday.  She just mailed it Nov. 30 and did regular parcel post since she was assured it would get here by Christmas.  I am under strict orders not to open before Christmas!  It will be fun to have some things under the tree.  I will expect my usual books from Jim and he is working on that.

Erna and Marvin have invited us to share Christmas dinner with them so we're really looking forward to that!   Erna assured me it will be a no fuss Christmas dinner...rack of lamb.  We love rack of lamb so that might become our Christmas tradition in the future.

Yesterday,  we did a library run,  hit Penny's for Jim's favourite shoes,  Dollar Store to get a $1 case for Jim's iPhone 5 (can't get cases for this older phone anywhere else!),  and Trader's.


Elaine's package....what a surprise to find this in the mail so soon.



Golf books aren't quite a "dime a dozen" but pretty cheap deal.  Last year, "Romance novels" were on sale for 5 cents.  Make your own conclusions....



Sunflowers from Trader's



Elaine's presents waiting for the one minute Christmas tree.



Jim's old shoes for bare feet that he loved.   The new ones like these had changed so didn't really work as slip-ons like he was using these but they had slip-ons that were perfect so even better.



The label from the new ones so we know what they are.  With all the various discounts,  the cost ended up to be $41.24.



And these ones even have memory foam insoles.



The new shoes....



Now,  Jim still thinks the old ones have some wear left in them.  You be the judge...that's my finger poking through.
