November...

...already! Oh my gosh...did we skip October?

The first nine weeks of school is over, and Friday was grading day. Actually, I got my grades finished Thursday night, so I was able to spend Friday morning with lesson planning activities. I got most of it finished up (which reminds me, I need to write a letter of support for a local Rotary student of the month). This means that I get to spend most of my weekend working to get ahead in this week's homework...yippee!

Last night, we went out to dinner with Kevin's girlfriend's family...parents John and Karen and brother Brandon. A very nice family and it was great to meet them and talk about the old days of HP. John and Karen both work there, though they started after we both left.

An extra hour of sleep tomorrow...or perhaps I'll use that hour to send out Thanksgiving invitations and begin to plan dinner. I'm not sure what we'll do with the menu this year...perhaps I'll see if I can lighten some of the menu items, but there are a couple that one just doesn't mess with...like rolls with BUTTER and stuffing (though I'll use whole wheat bread in it) that contains BUTTER!

One final thanks to the powers that be for allowing Kevin to get through the whole football season unscathed. We are really enjoying having him home for dinner for a couple months!
