Checking in from the South Farthing/Took Country here...Mom and Dad just left to go back home today and the weather is GORGEOUS. I love it when its in the 60s and clear skies.

Wow...everyone's already getting Christmas stuff up???? I must confess I have slowly been pulling stuff out myself. First Thanksgiving and Christmas in the new house!

Love you guys!

Good afternoon! Barely.

I'm kinda sorta trying to do some flyladying around here, but it's not really happening. Also I'm out of some cleaning supplies...which really means I *should* go to Wal-mart...but I refuse to even attempt that until after eight thirty at night, this time of year. I have a hard enough time going there during regular weekend crowds! I just don't handle crowds well, I guess. If I don't go in there with a written list and try to keep tunnel vision going so I just get what I need and get out, I end up getting all panicky and upset. *shudder* Don't like crowds. Don't like 'em at all.

I need to get back into writing my little sister's story! Hard to adjust to princesses and goblins and dragons after my rather boring NaNo story...

Well, the kids and I are finally home.

PE left Thursday, while I stayed another day. Then, I lost my keys. We took my mother's house apart four times, drove to White Settlement and combed the front yard over there (we moved a desk from there to our house) and inspected the interior of the house. We called my Aunt Grace in Granbury, where we had Thanksgiving, and nothing. No one found even a single clue.

We looked at mother's again; nothing. I was grimly facing the reality of calling a locksmith. I decided that I had to stay another night (not really having a choice anyway). Then, this morning as I was putting away the bed-clothes, I asked my mother how long a certain pillow had been in the floor. ACK! I picked up the pillow and there were my keys!

I was beyond ready to go home and doing the 2J shimmy. It is the small things we often take for granted that we are the most thankful for.
