Thanksgiving Weekend

I took a break on Thanksgiving weekend.  Not the whole weekend, mind you.  Just enough to regret it a few days later.  I found that since I "let" myself have a break, I fell out of my routine pretty quickly and my motivation went away.  And it was really hard to get back into my former swing of things.

That being said, my family and I made some significant progress on the fall lawn stuff.  I dug up a corner of our backyard and relocated a hosta.  Alan cut down branches from our front yard tree.  And he and the kids raked up leaves and we paid the kids to get them all into those brown bags.  Money well spent, I say.

We also had a really nice dinner with family friends and I learned a new card game!

And did I mention that I started making my Christmas cards?  Yep, it's true.  I got about 10 made.  Another 40-50 to go.  I would not be too surprised if the store got a little visit from me this year...
