And So It Begins…

Halloween, the gateway to the holiday season, is gone, and now it begins - that, crazy, busy, wonderful time of year.  November especially is a very happy time around our house.  From now to January we have:

  • A visit with Tara & (three of) her kids (Oh yeah - Sean too, lol.  Now that he’s moved back home to the Bay Area, though, we’re hoping this won’t be such an unusual occurrence.)
  • A wedding
  • A house-warming party
  • Our annual church marriage retreat
  • The Big Game
  • Our 14th wedding anniversary
  • My birthday (21 days and counting!)
  • Thanksgiving
  • My mom’s birthday
  • Grandpa Gil’s birthday
  • Hubby’s final (two-week) trip to Singapore
  • The one craft fair I do all year
  • Church Christmas celebration
  • Christmas vacation
  • A visit from Grandma Ruthie
  • Cousin Steven’s birthday
  • At least one school performance
  • Early Christmas with Ruthie’s side of the family
  • Christmas
  • New Year’s Eve
  • New Year’s Day
  • And probably some other stuff I’ve forgotten, plus some that haven’t come up yet.

If you don’t hear from me as much as usual for a while, you’ll understand, yes?

Knitting Update

The slog continues. Not worth a picture at the moment, though (sorry, Sean). My new rule is I have to complete one (20-row) repeat on the slog before I get to work on anything else. For example: slog, shawl, slog, hat, slog, dishcloth, etc.
