Just a quick little

Thanksgiving re-cap...

 

I made it through.

Ha.
[I had really kind of dreaded it...]

We got together with my side of the family at the beginning of the week...

and we did okay - really, until the very end...

 [sister-in-love, sister, and me]

Grief just comes out of nowhere...

It was wonderful having the whole family together - 

But it wasn't always easy --

Wednesday I spent the day finishing up the advent calendar below -

We went over to The Shoals on Thanksgiving Day to be with Craig's mother, 

and I won't lie - it was hard being in my mom's city and knowing 

{{KNOWING}} 

that I couldn't go by and see her too.

On Friday I spent a few hours knitting off and on, I put Autumn AWAY, straightened in the walk-in attic, cleaned in the playroom a bit, and worked on an on-going

scrapbook reorganizing project...

Then I finally got out and shopped a bit, but mostly for groceries... lol

Saturday we had Thanksgiving with just our family --

and after discussing several different menus, we went with fondue - 

Something we love, but don't do often enough.

So it was a good week [end]...
[and of course, that ballgame was the icing on the cake 
for those around our table -]

And now I have to get through the Christmas season --

It's going to be a busy month.. and busy is good.

So glad that my sweetie enjoys being busy with me!

And right now I'm thinking I'll do the bare minimum for decorating;

although I do have one little thing I want to share with you soon.

Fritz.
