A Month of Little Things

Hard to believe, but tomorrow is December 1st. Where does the time go?

Some of you may have been wondering what on earth has happened to me, no blog posts? The woman who posts everything! There just hasn't been much happening. We haven't traveled other than to see the grandkids. We haven't geocached. Just nothing too exciting.

The first of the month I started a local Writing Your Life Story group. I have 10 men and women who faithfully write and share little pieces of their lives each week. I am also meeting with four women who have taken the WYLS class in the past. I write an episode each week for this group, whittling away on my list of "To Do" topics. I am thoroughly enjoying my Monday afternoons with both groups of people.

I will work backwards on some of the bits and pieces of what we have been doing.


11/30: Today was the first major snow of the season. 4-10 inches are projected for this two day, slow moving system.

remember a year ago?


it looks very pretty...like winter


11/29: We spent Saturday and Sunday with son and family

we brought some of daddy's toys for the kids


they were very excited to play with them


11/28: On Saturday, son and our favorite DIL made a delicious Thanksgiving meal for the 6 of us. 

DIL set a beautiful table
a prelude to a delicious dinner


11/27: On Friday a friend and I attended the first Christmas concert for this season...AWESOME!

just piano and voice, with humor and improv


Shawn Cable, a local tv weatherman


his O Holy Night gave me goosebumps
What a voice!


11/26: Thanksgiving. I cooked a traditional meal for my Mother and oldest brother. Quiet, but very nice. No food photos as I took the advice posted on FB. We all ate the same stuff. My only special addition was eating off the china plates I thought about/planned to get rid of, but as of yet...haven't.


Earlier this month: A day with son and family

Late in October: From the days when we stayed with the G'Kids while Son & DIL were on vacation.

Now you are all caught up with what we have been doing. As I said at the beginning, nothing very exciting. I am thinking next month might be a bit more newsworthy. It will be safe to check the blog once a week for some updates.
