November is in the Air

Over 1000 pieces of candy given out last night from our driveway... My arm hurts from dropping candy in all those bags... Truly, there were so many kids trick or treating in our neighborhood last night.  No parking any place - people drive here, do their treating with the kids and drive away.  I must say some of the kids were creative (or their parents) and some did nothing but stop home pick up a grocery bag and say they were dressed.  I asked this one kid who looked like he just came from school what are you dressed as?   and he told me an Abercrombie and Fitch model... we were just rolling from laughing, it was very quick thinking on his part.   With all the trick or treating October officially comes to an end and it is into November we go.  

Looking forward to November  and  Thanksgiving this year Rich, was beginning his treatments last year and we had a really small T-day celebration.  I am really looking forward to more family and a healthier time this year.  Oh we have come so Far... thank you Lord.  Another big item we will have our 34th wedding anniversary at the end of the month. We've now been married so long, we like to tell people we were both married before.... we take a nice pause and follow it up with TO EACH OTHER.  it usually generates a small laugh from the newcomer.

Michael is home for the weekend - such great joy in seeing our baby.  Meghan is not feeling well enough to travel and I love to see and visit with her.  She is my scrap book buddy, we make such a lovely mess when she comes and we hang out all day just playing with adhesive and embellishments.  Michael is off surfing and spending time with his high school friends.  He brought some of his wine home for us to try last night. Really good for his first attempt.  The wine certainly didn't hurt with all those trick or treaters last night.... Time to go get some real stuff done.  It was a blissfully busy week last week and it went by so fast..... ahhh deep breath. Life challenging but Love it.
