November, Where Art Thou?

So much for diligence on more than one blog.

I had high hopes that I'd be alert enough to keep this one up on a weekly basis as opposed to the daily regimen of my other blog.

Ha.

So far, I'm doing good to get a post in on a monthly basis, and it looks like that's in jeopardy, too.

At any rate, things are moving along around here. Football ended for both Randy (high school) and Matthew, who played coach this year at his alma mater. We stuffed ourselves silly yesterday, which was the official Thanksgiving, and today, which was the official Day After Thanksgiving.

And now I need a bigger pair of stretch pants.

In cabin news, it's time to think about Christmas trees, which have been hauled around in the county for what seems like a month already. The tree folks mean business.

Here are some links to Ashe County tree farms, including one we know is fun because Randy and I worked there a few years ago :)


While I'm sure there is no shortage of terrific tree farms, we know Larry and Anita Kitchens personally, both as friends, colleagues (well, okay, they're math whizzes, but Randy coached their son in high school, Larry helped Randy coach high school football when Matthew played, and I took Katie to Anita's Math Camp at ASU a few years ago, which most definitely should count for something). Anita makes sure everyone has a grand time on the farm, and they do!

They also have fine workers.


If you're not close enough for a day trip to find a tree in Ashe County, you're certainly welcome to make a reservation :)

Happy Thanksgiving weekend....
