Hello

Thanksgiving was nice, good to be home. Today we are going to Kidsphoto for Ayana and Ellie's sister photo shoot!!! I pre-paid for 3 sittings 2 years ago, and in December they are all running out!! So we are using one today for just them, and to get a nice single of Ayana for her post placement report, and then in Nov we are going as a family (including our dog!). Not sure if the third one will get used, I may see if I can give it to someone else.

I am just over halfway thru a book called "The Red Tent." It is very very good, and boy I wish we had such a thing as a red tent culture in some ways!!! It's based on the biblical person Dinah and her family, and the tradition of the "Red Tent" where women would rest for 3 days while they had their monthlys. I highly recommend it.

Also, as a commitment to cutting down our expenses, I have stated to Regan and Ellie that (get ready for this) I will NOT BUY ANY BOOKS FOR ONE SOLID YEAR. Yeah, I know, Regan didn't believe me either. So, unless it is Christmas or my birthday, no new books for me! And to further that I am selling a few non-fiction on amazon, and will be listing a bunch of novels on this site for sale at EXTREME discount plus shipping. The novels I will be selling are BRAND NEW that I know I will NEVER read, mostly due to the time factor and that I bought them on impulse. So stay tuned. In the next few days I will be listing a bunch of them.

Have a great Day!
