has it really been a month?

It's hard to believe it's been almost a month since I last blogged.  So what's been happening?

• My Mom had surgery, so we made a quick trip to AL to be there and help out.
• I had a unique opportunity to teach training classes for poll workers for the upcoming election.
• Worked an election...and I think I'm getting too old for a 20 hour work day. I'm just now starting to bounce back.
• Planned the kids quarterly activity at church.
• Got a new cell phone.
• Tried to organize the kids' Christmas program at church (and that one's on-going!)
• Have cut grass for the LAST time in 2014! :)
• Ended the garden (though still have some clean-up to do)
• Started picking up pecans
• Keeping up with women's Bible Study at church (first time I've succeeded and will finish the book on time!)
• Started my woefully behind Christmas shopping (not only am I usually a year-round shopper, but my family only gets one holiday together a year and we try to celebrate it all then...so this year we'll have Christmas the night after Thanksgiving!)
• Have babysat 4 days in the last 2 weeks
• Am STILL working on a quilt for great-niece Natalie Joy who debuted last week
• and normal life

Meanwhile prayers are still going up for the Lewis and Wyatt families. Cancer stinks.
