November

my favorite month of the year

although I can generally find favorite things about every month

but November has

my favorite holiday, Thanksgiving

our anniversary

my baby was born in November

time fall's back and I love when it gets dark earlier 

cooler temperatures (generally speaking)

Veterans Day

(to honor all of those who have in the past and still keep us safe and free)

Voting Day

(especially in Presidential Election Years)

remember your vote counts

and this year a new nephew will be joining our family

can't wait to meet you Eli

******************

so down came all the Halloween decorations 

(I realize we just may have too many as we spent most of the day packing them away)

I started my blessing tree today and Dylan got to make the first blessing

(more on that in my next post)

Thanksgiving decorations out

a couple of new projects for this year

remembering all we have to be thankful for

So goodbye Halloween

look forward to seeing you next year

November 1st

On November 1st, I am thankful for my husband who spent many

hours tearing down and putting away decorations, sweep the 

entire downstairs to rid it from our never ending problem of dog hair and

then spent quite a while on ebay "winning" me a set of the old Publix

Pilgrim salt and Pepper shakers that I never bothered to buy when 

sold them in stores but now really wanted a set.

Remembering to be grateful in all things
