It's off to O'Wich - the earliest ever. We left at 6:00 a.m. We made a quick stop at JCPenney - since it was Black Friday the stores opens somewhere between midnight and 4:00 a.m. There wasn;t much traffic once we got on the road. We stopped at the oasis in Belevedere and there were few people there. Everyone else must've been at the mall! We stopped again in DeForest for gas. We were pleasantly surprised at the cost. Last time we filled the Tahoe is was over $85 - this time $48.20 - cha ching!!!
Along the route to the cabin we noticed a truck (going the other direction) on the side of the road that was on fire. It appeared that the load he was hauling (a mattress and some other junk) is what caught on fire. We were going too fast for a photo of that!
On the way down the road to the cabin, we saw a lone hunter. Thank goodness hunting season is just about over...these guys that hunt in Wisconsin are crazy.
Once we got the truck unloaded, we brought in firewood. It had snowed a little before we arrived and we didn't know what weather was coming...so we stocked up!

We unloaded the stones from Judi and Jerry (thank you!) that we are using on the walls behind the fireplace. It should look great when we're finished. This project is (hopefully) taking place during our December trip!
We decided that we would celebrate Black Friday with our own shopping expedition. We went to Wal-Mart for Christmas decorations and checked out K-Mart - this K-Mart is worse than any K-Mart around home. We enjoyed lunch at LaTolteca, went to Ace and then went grocery shopping. We were pretty much "shopped" out and looked forward to resting for the rest of the day.
