Ok I know: it’s time to move on to Christmas and all that hoopla. It is December 10th after all. Let’s get onto all those glowing lights and peaceful pondering of the season business because it’s practically here for crying out loud (the prep for which by the way, as well as the “peaceful” part…
I’ve been trying to get back on my “little things” bandwagon for a while now. I am so dang far behind that it’s overwhelming, so I’m just starting where I am (at least a tiny bit recent). So let’s go back to August for a minute where Lu and I found ourselves in Wisconsin again…

One of my goals last year was to read at least two new books each month. And I’m pretty happy that I DID IT, even with an extra one to make it 25! Ok, I actually listened to most of them (Audible rocks!), but hey, sometimes you have to cling on to accomplishments like this…
