 We had a lovely Thanksgiving!

It included a geography lesson, when Heather and Julianna weren't sure where Finland is. I don't remember why the subject of Finland's location came up, but explanations involved two globes and several cell phones. Fun times! The food was wonderful, and the company terrific!

Time to change the qsnap! Or maybe put it back into the big frame. First I have to give the snakes and the neutrals afghan some love.

And I want to give this hat a try!

I made these bar cookies, a recipe from Facebook of course. Six different kinds on one sheet! It was bowl and labor intensive.

We all liked them, and I left most of them for the kids, or I'd have eaten the whole platter!

We got our Moderna boosters! My arm was tender for a day, Ralph's was sore and he had a headache. That's ok, we're protected!

We went to my high school class's 50th reunion! It was close to us, and we called it a date night. I'm glad I went, and I talked to several people. But of the 3 girls I was closest to, Doris and Linda have died, and the other Linda is in Arkansas. It's the first reunion I've gone to.

And I can't believe November is almost over!

Mid November!

 Once Halloween is past, the year is basically over. The time goes so fast. 

The memorial service for David was very well done. Heather spoke, Sharon spoke, Juliette spoke- they all sobbed thru speaking, and did very well. Frank spoke, and a few of David's friends spoke. I'm glad it's over, the delay between his death and the service was hard.

Works in progress updates! And I finally caught up with all the Chicago shows! That was a lot of episodes. Now I can start working on the shows on the DVR. 

Rainy Friday

 Totally a dreary day! Manda and Steph cancelled their trip here. They were coming for David's memorial service, which is tomorrow. But Dan wrenched his knee badly, and Steph didn't want to leave him for so long. And Manda is stressed by the number of unvaxxed in the family. Much as we would have loved to see them, we understand completely. 

Library run and lunch at the Meadows Diner earlier this week!

My favorite Vietnam Vet had a free breakfast at the diner, a free lunch at Olive Garden, and got a voucher for a free dinner at Texas Roadhouse!

Starting a new page on the cross stitch, neutrals afghan is coming along, and snakes are up to date! 

Hello November!

 November is a month that school staff in jersey love! Teacher's convention, Veteran's Day, Election Day, and Thanksgiving!

Our oldest grandson is so grown up!

I made minestrone adjacent soup- Ralph is allergic to all beans, peas, and soy.

So, soup and rolls for dinner and another dinner!

Weekly craft status update! 

We had our first frost, so the growing season is over, according to the weather service. And this week the time changes.
