Go over and visit and get in the giveaway. I'm entering. The deadline is November 17th. Go get your name in the pot.
We had rain here all day yesterday. Not a downpour, nor a need for a boat, just a slow steady drizzle that looked really cold from your window, but in fact was fairly warm. I wore a light jacket at lunch, and when I got back I was warm enough that I turned on my little fan here in my office.
Then after church some dry air had moved in and it was like walking into the twilight zone. I think you could have cut it with a knife. The funny think I noticed was that even though you couldn't see 10 feet in front of you, when you looked up, you could see the moon. Eerie indeed.
We have a saying here in Arkansas, 'If you don't like the weather, stay around for a few hours and it will change'. It may be freezing one day, and warm enough to run aruond in your shirt sleeves the next. Snow never last more than a few days, and a road can be so covered in ice that you can't get to work, and by noon the roads be clear.
We rarely see a white Christmas, with most of our really cold weather coming in January and February.
I've begun to notice that people are decorating for Christmas already. My neighbor two doors up have their porch posts decked out with multi color lights. The radio station is playing carols. I heard that Santa will make his arrival at the mall on Friday. Guess I need to go get my picture made with him, and tell him what I want. Only problem is, that if I sat on his lap, he would probably be crushed. Oh well, it's a short list anyway, maybe I could just hover.
It's that time of the month again. You know when we play canasta. I am already thinking about what we will have to eat. We're playing at Jennifer's house, and she always has a nice spread for us to eat. If her husband is home, he'll get in on the fixins. He's a good cook too, so we always look forward to what he has made.
Then tomorrow afternoon, a group of us gals are going to the lake for the weekend. A girl's get-a-way. It's supposed to be pretty. There is supposed to be a nip in the air, but that will be fine. I'm taking my camera so I should have some pictures of our trip.
What great plans do you have for the weekend?
Hope you have a great Thursday. Pray for our country. Love one another.

It is going to be really cold here this weekend...high of 47. So I really don't have any plans. Maybe I will work on removing the popcorn stuff off the ceiling and getting ready to paint some rooms. I am tired of this house the way it is. I am also going to do new carpet! Because I can...I hope. Have a great weekend and I can't wait to see your pictures!
I hope you win a quilt. It will be warm on MY bed! HA
We are going to my husband's brother and sister-in-law's place in Wisconsin so the guys can go hunting. There will be four of us gals, so we are going to have a gal's weekend, too! But I have to attend the funeral of the wife of a good high school buddy. Very sad. I hope you have a fun weekend, and can't wait to see photos!
