Over the river and through the wood, to Grandfather's house we go - do you remember singing that in the run up to Thanksgiving?
The weather for the week ahead:::
Some sun, some clouds, more rain.
On my reading pile:::
No change on the reading front - The Venetian Daughter by Ella Carey on my Kindle and I'm about halfway through The Last Light over Oslo by Alix Rickloff from the library.
On my TV:::
I hit a spoiler for The Great British Baking Show's finale last Friday but it wasn't really a surprise as she's been brilliant all season - congratulations, Jasmine!
This week's Hallmark offerings:
This one made me want to move right back to Newport, Rhode Island.
Checked off the list:::
- More physical therapy for Vic.
- Honor Roll Senior Luncheon at church. Delicious lunch, fellowship, and a great testimony from two of our members.
- Completed our Electronic Travel Authorizations for the UK - there's an app for everything.
- Ladies Night at Ace Hardware was a bit of a fail because it was Ladies ONLY night. I didn't realize that no men were allowed in the store between 5:30pm and 7:30pm. I had hoped that Vic and I could browse for ideas. I ended up running in and checking the price of one item and then leaving as Vic was waiting for me outside.
- Holiday Gala at the Mercantile downtown was enjoyable. Lots of great gift ideas and decorations.
- Made boarding reservations for Malone while we are gone.
- Went to the movies for the first time in a while. Nuremberg was excellent and there was a preview of The Choral, coming this holiday season.
Crafts roundup:::
I finally received my December Daily package so Jodie and I had an unboxing on Friday and a long chat about what we will do with all the supplies. The Product Play Side by Side class kicked off with lessons three times a week that take one of the elements from the December Daily collection and demonstrate a technique with the physical product and another with the (same) digital product. Lots of great ideas.
And in other news:::
Week Ten is Garage Week.
Work gloves ready? It's time to tackle garage storage areas, this week.
The waning days of autumn are a good time to rout out household storage areas, so we're ready to access extra tables, chairs and seasonal decorations. Cooler--but not yet cold--weather eases the job, and we'll feel good knowing that storage areas are clean and prepared for winter cold.
In holiday prep, we look
ahead to the Thanksgiving meal and see to the family's holiday clothing.
I'll leave the links up here if you're interested.
Is the Government Shutdown over? It looks close, fingers crossed!!
That seems kind of crazy about the Ace Hardware ladies night. I wonder if our store does that! We saw Nuremburg also and loved it. I learned a lot. Hope your week is off to a good start!
