A gorgeous Sunday evening sunset in the ‘Ville after a very rainy day…
Reading…nothing earth shattering…some freebie fiction for flights & travel…(the majority of my Christmas wish list is books!)
Watching…enjoyed The Giver on DVD with the family while home in the ‘Ville…
Office birthday decor…
Celebrating…a “decade turning” birthday in so many different ways: it started with dinner at a new restaurant while down in TX for some fall fun with my girlies – on my birthday, friends at work decorated my cube & treated me to lunch at a local fave – it continued with a Packers game & more with the WI family – and “finally” a bit of celebrating with the family when I was home for Thanksgiving…
Crafting…lots of progress on a “Simple Shawlette” during Thanksgiving week…
Browsing…a nice tale of a Make-a-Wish kid who was at the Packers-Bears game…Hank the Ballpark Pup has contributed more than $146,000 to the local humane society…a “throwback” article on how spreadsheets came to be…a bookmark worthy list of grammar rules…
App-ing…family Christmas cards designed & ordered through Shutterfly…
Cheering…heartily at the Packers game & taking most of the month to recover my voice…
One of many mugs of “voice recovery” tea this month…
Sipping & Squawking…A lot of hot tea with honey & lemon to soothe my throat and return my voice after the game…workdays filled with conference calls were lots of “fun” as my voice took it’s time returning…
Cooking…my holiday “traditional” shredded Brussels sprouts dish for our Thanksgiving table…
Leftover cranberry pie for breakfast!
Baking…A double batch of my Nantucket Cranberry Pie to share with the church Thanksgiving dinner at home in the ‘Ville…we brought home leftovers and shamelessly enjoyed pie for breakfast!
Mom’s Lemon Meringue Pie – a new Thanksgiving dessert tradition?
Noshing…a simple & tasty Thanksgiving meal with the family: turkey with Grandpa’s dressing & gravy; my shredded Brussels sprouts; Rebecca’s green bean casserole; roasted cranberries & butternut squash; a family favorite cranberry jello; and for dessert…we went non-traditional with Mom’s fabulous lemon meringue pie & Rebecca is requesting it becomes a Thanksgiving tradition now…
Flying…Flights early in the month pushed me into gold frequent flier status…it has been several years since I’ve had “status” – thank you trips to the UK for making that happen…
Sunset out the window as I fly north from Thanksgiving in the ‘Ville…
Traveling…I was only home 1 weekend this month…otherwise my weekends were filled with travels & adventures with all my favorite people in TX, WI & GA…
Looking Ahead….ah, the anticipation & fun of Christmastime!
Linking up with Leigh Kramer for the monthly “What I’m Into” round-up. What are you into these days?
