Trip to Wal-Mart

 Started my Christmas shopping today with a trip to Wal-Mart. My daughter has requested the annual "Rita's Chex Mix"! So boxes of Chex cereal, Cheerioes, mixed nuts,  pretzels made it into my cart. I already have the rest including the 9 sticks of butter! Though I am missing Wheat Chex... not a box to be had in Wal-Mart.

I also picked up a big bag of "Crafter's Choice" polyester fiberfill for my bears ( it was on the highest up shelf and I had to ask an employee with a ladder to get one down!) ... and found a KC Chief's lap rug for our senior adoptee... it was on his want list!

I will schedule an afternoon for making the Chex mix... I will put everything into two huge baking pans and into the oven ... then stir everything every 15 minutes for several hours!  So... time to pull out the pans from my pantry and the plastic storage containers...

Watched another episode of Ken Burns'  "American Revolution" on PBS. Amazing ! I am also amazed  and horrified about all that I did not know... We have watched all of his historical documentaries and I am so grateful for what he has done!!

Tomorrow will be a busy one... another round of an errand run to Price Chopper for wheat Chex,  the purple Ripple box to get rid of our glass  for recycling, Habitat for Humanity to donate Bob's stuff and maybe the library!
