We did it -- went shopping --

Oh the traffic outside was frightful, and the parking was non-existantful. (sung to some Christmas tune)

and Patt and I ventured out after all and went shopping for Christmas presents and bought stuff. Stimulated the economy somewhat modestly if you will note the size of the bag below. We did end up with a bit more for ourselves and do still need to go by Goodwill for stuff for the family members whose names we drew in the family draw for gift exchange.- or possibly we will be able to find something in the church closet for the needy.

We did see this group on one of the corners and I am trying to find out how one joins such a group. I can just see Stephen in a group like this too. He and Jen would look so cute.
