Thirty degrees here, windy as all get out, but the snow seems to be tapering off.

I lost a ring at the Texas Cowboy Memorial Shoot last month, and Bryan replaced
it today. The actual price was about $30 less than the jeweler quoted because of the
fluctuation in the price of gold. We ordered it about three weeks ago, so the jeweler
received it yesterday.

There is no way that Bryan and I could be dragged kicking and screaming out of the
house with ravening wolves, wild horses, fires, floods, or tornados on Black Friday.

Yoiks! No thanks.

So we picked it up today, and the stores were very quiet, some of them closed.

How sweet of your Bryan. I didn’t know you lost a ring at the Shoot! Our stores are still packed, especially the Outlet Mall. Today is small business day. No, I didn’t go shopping. The mailman told me.
