November

November is National Adoption month as well as Thanksgiving and Shopping. November also means that more people are listening to Christmas Music. (remember I have been doing it since first Monday in Oct.)
Nov is also that much closer to my birthday. I have advised Nat that I am not having a birthday this year so...(too old)
I also love the rain that comes as the snow hits the mountains...it wont last for long but is nice while it lasts.

Orange you glad for adoption

Saturday was the 3rd annual Walk with me in adoption 5k. We were there 3 years ago at the start and will be there 3 years from now. The main force behind it came up with the orange saying 3 years ago. (I think she found a great deal on orange shirts) I have given her a lot of crap about the saying but this year I finally joined in the wearing of the orange. Of course it is my Halloween costume as well, think candy corn,)

So Yes I am glad for adoption and for the 150+ people who were there for the walk as well

Pizza

The most perfect meal of all time has to be Pizza! It can contain all of the needed food groups.
It reheats well and even tastes good cold.
Most everyone will like to some level.
Now I am hungry...later

Great Nation

I am so grateful all the political ads are done..also that we could have a change of power started and decided on yet have it happen so peaceably.
Now all we will hear is how historic this time of our nation is. (yes it is but I will get tired of hearing it.)

Voting

Even though I know my vote on the major races was canceled out by another family members vote...I am grateful for the chance to vote.

Some of my family and friends choose not to vote and that is OK as well. That is what makes this country great, the ability of each person do vote or not. I must admit that those that choose not to vote are also the ones that will not complain on government as well, which is how it should be.

Last days of the election

Last days of campaigning are finally here. I am so grateful that the ads and talk and everything will be over tomorrow.
Don't get me wrong, I am happy for the chance to vote etc but it seems that this voting season has gone on too long...

Treat and Sweet

I do not really enjoy Halloween. I used to love making the kids costumes and seeing them excited.
However…Natalie made the cutest costume for Maggie and was so excited about it I started to enjoy Halloween again.
I am so grateful to see the holidays through Maggie’s eyes.
She loved the attention she got from all the oooos and aaahhhs as people saw her.
Now comes the best time of the year. (and Snow)
