		<title>ALOHA FRIDAY #22: Are you doing the &#8220;Black Friday&#8221; thing?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Just wondering, how many people ventured out, after &#8220;stuffing yourself&#8221; with turkey and trimmings for midnight shopping, etc.?  Some friends I know start at midnight or even at 4 am, in search of good deals.

Four generations of family members to celebrate the holidays with
An 87-year-old mother who inspires me on a daily basis
A grandbaby on the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=everydaywomanusa.wordpress.com&blog=3981809&post=1790&subd=everydaywomanusa&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
