Silent Auction is running until Wednesday, December 8, 2010 at 2 pm. Pretty wide variety of items up for bid including bicycles, mini beer barrels, teapots, a set of Hardy Boy books and my favorite: a table and four chairs from a soda shop.

This sign was found today at Habitat ReStore in Winston-Salem. Hardback books are normally $2 and softbacks $1, but Bibles are free when available. Pretty good selection of books here.

Every year we contribute the sweet potatoes to my in-laws’ mega-feast. The potatoes are cubed and boiling, soon to be mashed and baked.

Two of our kids did a 5K Turkey Trot with their grandfather and are now vegging in front of the TV. The other kid is taking a too-long shower and his mother is primping for the festivities. Yours truly is blogging from a Blackberry and trying to properly time his first adult beverage of the day. All is right in the world.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

My daughter’s team played in the Lake Norman Fall Classic this weekend, winning their division – Go Royals! Those of us who watched them chase the ball around the fields in Statesville enjoyed some fine North Carolina fall weather, even at 7:15 in the a.m.

Erin went up for a header in her soccer game today, missed the ball and made great contact with her opponent’s teeth.

Indianapolis has an interesting take on crossing signals. Rather than blink on and off, the woman dances.
