Turkey to Toys

I hope everyone had a Happy and blessed Thanksgiving holiday yesterday. Enjoyed the yummy turkey , sweet potatoes, corn, mashed potatoes, green been casserole, pumpkin pie and more? Anyone brave the crowds and go out on Black Friday? I have been thinking about how toys have changed over the last 35 years. My favorite toys were Barbies, the Memory game, and Transformers. What were your favorite toys growing up?

Black Friday Madness

Why is it these days people resort to engaging in violence all in the name of thrifty shopping?  This is NUTS!!!  Why is it impossible for some people to act in a civil manner when participating in bargain shopping, or trying to get those bargain deals? Is a toy or other value item really worth causing bodily harm to another individual?  Thank goodness I stayed away from the Black Friday madness.  I hope everyone else managed to stay safe and unharmed this Black Friday and continues to stay safe throughout this Christmas season.

And..... now the latest whacky Black Friday news filled with violence:

A marine valiantly stopped a suspected shoplifter and ended up getting stabbed by that same shoplifter.

There was a crazy pile up at Target:


A fight broke out and the Cerritos Food Court in L.A. was placed on lockdown after shots were heard.

Then, there was a woman who made threats to get a gun and shoot other shoppers who were standing, waiting in the same line as her.
