The Tiny-Tinsel-Tower-of-TINS...

AND, *SOMEONE* - PLEASE - REMIND ME TO NEVER, *EVER*, GO TO COSTCO ON A "SATURDAY" AGAIN!!!

Talk about *TERRIFYING*!!

BUT, I needed to get MILK... Mind You, I *had* PLANNED on making the Forage, YESTERDAY - however - AS I headed that Way, I SUDDENLY Realized that I had FORGOTTEN to BRING My MEMBERSHIP-CARD!!

Anyway, because of Future WEATHER
"Predictions", going *TODAY* was the "LESSER-of-EVILS"! -- IF, You could call IT *that*!?

WHATEVER... The PARKING LOT was *PURE* BEDLAM!!

And, INSIDE the STORE, surprisingly *slightly* LESS so... ESPECIALLY, at the CHECKOUT..? Which, was kinda scary-"QUIET" and NOT so CROWDED
as would be Expected..?

hmm..??

"LEAVING" was considerably more DEVOID of TRAUMA!



My "SATURDAY"-Shopping-Survival-Skills served Me WELL!


MICHAEL'S next...

NO YARN-*Purchasing*, Today! -- The PATONS Stuff is ON-SALE for Another Week, so I *couldn't* Use My COUPONS...

At least, *ON* the YARN...

Have I "Mentioned" My **TINS-COLLECTION**..??!! - In particular, My "CHRISTMAS" *SUB*-Collection... [There're also the "ORIENTAL" and "WALKER'S"-Shortbreads & Biscuits Ones..]
- I use THEM to store many of My CHRISTMAS-ORNAMENTS.

ANYHOO...

MICHAEL'S just put out a BUNCH in Various Shapes and Sizes! -- I had "intentions" of using *most* of THEM for "GIFTS", however, I might just RE-THINK that Idea... As, I REALLY DO *LIKE* THEM!!

...Decisions, Decisions...
