AGENDA WED December 17 

Love your spouse✔️

10:00 a Santa at Lakeline 10-3✔️

MALL: I arrived at the mall at 9:13 and was in my costume by 9:23. The manager/photographer was there by 9:30. I was on the clock at 9:45. Punched out at 3:13.

Stephanie was the manager today. Finley came in around 2:00 or so. A three to four year old Spanish speaking girl came running to Santa for hugs and photos an hour before the mall ever opened. It was a slow but steady up through noon. Between 12:00 and 1:00 Santa had several reluctant visitors. One three year old girl stomped her feet and yelled no no no. But then came and sat with Santa and talked and talked and talked. Grandma had trouble coaxing her away from Santa in the end. A mother and a 6-year-old son both came in gray sweat suits for photos. Santa had a couple of young women dressed as ragged horror clowns. Santa gets them all. 

WEATHER It was a wet drizzly start to the day. And then it was wet and drizzly the rest of the day also

SUPPER:  Ella asked me to stop and pick up something to eat on the way home. I was hungry when I went through KFC and I bought an 8 piece family meal. Andy’s frozen custard was near enough to KFC that I got shakes for Ella and me. I ate one piece of chicken. I think Ella had two smaller pieces. The rest went in the refrigerator.
