Almost Thanksgiving!

Where has the month gone? It flew by! Wasn't yesterday Halloween?

It was a busy month and I am looking forward to having this week off from school.

We have had a virus that was not covid the last couple of weeks.  Runny nose, sinus congestion, cough, but no fever.  It seems like we have had one thing after another since September when we all had covid. Not sure if we ever got over that round.  So yes, it has been a longggg month.  Me and my son in law got sick last weekend and then my grandson got it on Wednesday.  Everyone else was starting to recover. Seems like a lingering virus and when you feel better you get sick again.  We have all had it now, so hopefully we are all on the mind.

Working at school does not help I'm sure. Then the grandkids come over and share their germs too. It makes it super hard to stay healthy. 

In other news....

We had almost 8 inches of rain this week! The pond is full and the creek is running.




My son turned 40! 

We had a family celebration! I can't believe I have a 40 year old son! Those years flew by as well!

I made his favorite vanilla cake with vanilla frosting.



I also made a new Thanksgiving garland to hang on my mirror.
 I cut strips of fabric like the previous garlands and tied them on a piece of jute.
I also stamped the tags to hang on the garland.





I made the leaves and acorns out of paper clay and painted them. I drilled holes so I could hang them on the garland.

I guess that is about all that has been going on this month!
I am sure the next month will fly by just as fast. I am not even remotely ready for Christmas.  I guess I had better get in gear!

Until next time then!

I hope you have a very happy Thanksgiving!
