It's already November! How the year is flying by for me. After a lovely fall day yesterday, the rain came in over night. I expect it will be cooler as well.
Yesterday I officially started Christmas shopping! I have picked up some things throughout the year, but am now getting serious. Last week I made an official plan. Yesterday Autumn and I went shopping. Next plan is to go online shopping over Thanksgiving weekend. Then in mid-December, Janae & I will go wrap up any last minute purchases. Once it is colder and dark mornings and evenings, I love the lights of Christmas. I do refuse to play Christmas music until after Thanksgiving though.
This past weekend I went to a business training in Maryland. I took 2 friends along to hang out with when I didn't have classes. It was lovely to get away a bit and sleep all night without interruption. We went to Havre de Grace, MD for supper. We ate at a little Italian restaurant. I was amazed at how many little shops were open on a Saturday evening...I think they may have been having some sort of event? Anyway, we went into a used book store...so many books! I restrained myself and only bought one--The Clocks, by Agatha Christie. My copy had fallen apart years ago. I look forward to reading this again.
Appointments, appointments, appointments...I think my life revolves around them! Today Mark has Occupational and Speech therapies.
Last week I had parent-teacher conferences with Micah's teacher. He seems to be adjusting back to going to school very well.
Sunday we had our first family gathering of the season. Randy's Dad's side of the family got together. Our gatherings are spread out, stretching from now through March. It's nice that they aren't all on a pile.
Well, I soon need to get Micah up to get the bus.
Enjoy your day!
