Hats off to all the Veteran's out there.
Special thanks to my husband who served 26 plus years in the Air Force and the North Dakota Air National Guard!
Here he is during basic training back in 1973.
Thank you to all the Veterans and the families that support them!

In the yarn store...they were having a sale! I went in for four skeins and came out with ten. Uffda.
Here is the green and white to make Hey Mikey a scarf with fringes.
I might have enough yarn for a few days.
A while back Jen mumbled something about...okay now are you hoarding yarn at my house too? Hoarding is such a harsh word...collecting sounds better.
More of that white stuff in the air yesterday...and it is much colder than it was. Dreary November day here in Minnesota. High of 32F or 0C eh!

It was an alarming day first thing in the morning, the sump pump alarm was going off so we hollered for help from Andy. Nothing like being awake at o dark thirty. I think we are all struggling with the time change...Sadie too.
We relaxed and napped during the day. We watched the movie Hey God Its me Margaret. A very enjoyable movie. Far Guy even laughed a few times.
We need the weekend to rest up for the radiation treatments next week. Five down fifteen to go. So far no huge side effects from the radiation, he uses a special radiation cream a number of times during the day. His Doctor suggested a new med to help with his anxiety...well that was not a good idea because the side effects were horrid. Hopefully we have him back on track again for a bit with his meds.
I started a new hoodie/ scarf with pockets for Cee Cee...she and her brother both had requests for me. Hey Mikey wants a green and white striped scarf with fringe AND both said make us mittens...so I am going to try to knit some mittens. It will be an adventure. I have attempted crochet mittens but just don't like how they turn out....so knitting it is....I believe I recall attempting to knit some about 40 years ago.
Here is a photo of Sadie...I played with removing the background...as the other three people in the photo were not looking at me.
As you can see she is one beauty of a dog!
As we made supper...Tacos and Far Guy's Italian Sausage, Chili with no beans, philly cream cheese and velveeta cheese dip we noticed strange white things in the air outside floating past the windows.

This month for Book Club we read Alice's Tulips by Sandra Dallas.
I enjoyed it very much! It is historical fiction set in the Civil War from a young bride's view that she writes in letters to her sister. I give it a nine out of a ten. Parts of it I would have written differently...but that is just me being judgy.
All of the gals in the book club liked it...it was one of my suggestions. So far I have liked all the Sandra Dallas books I have read. Persian Pickle Club, Westering Women and true sisters all were excellent reads.

Granddaughter Maddie and her husband Brenton visited us on Wednesday night, we had pizza as all the kids love pizza! Pizza and pickles a perfect meal for the kiddos!
Hey Mikey and Cee Cee watching TV after supper
Baby K who looks so much like her Daddy!
Hey Mikey
Peach...I gave her an old pair of dollar store reading glasses with the lenses taken out...she likes my readers so much.
Maddie and her children. She is a busy Mom!
