I've been spending SO MUCH TIME on it and I'm tired... I need a break! Plus, I'm excited to have it be done. How long is it? I hope you get done soon.

My SIL, who I adore, is hosting and we are spending a couple of nights at her house. I will of course help with food prep, but I won’t have the pressure of hosting. Looking forward to good food, good conversations, and lots of board games. Plus my son will be home from college to join us. Awww. I am glad you get to spend time with your SIL and your son.

I'm used to using a telephoto lens for (very amateur) wildlife photography. The wide angle lens will be very different and I look forward to learning how to use it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have great wildlife down there too. You should start a thread for your photos. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebcoola Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Halloween!! They are having a party and costume parade for the nursery kids at my gym tomorrow which will add a very cute distraction from working out. Than my bff and her 16 yr old, my ODD's bff are flying out for a visit for a long weekend over veterans day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a book! 😄 So, double spaced it's now more than 200 pages in the Word document? But it's really more the editing that takes a long time. I want it to read well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, the weather really did not cooperate for the catapult. But, pumpkin painting was wildly successful, and Mark had a projector that shows the constellations of this time of year in the northern hemisphere so that was fun too. We were able to get the room dark enough for it to work. I cannot believe how many cookies my almost three year old grandson sneaked and ate. Boy, he was one wired kid to get down for the night! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, that was done by a mom in their neighborhood. She does amateur portrait photography and dil has had her do several shoots. Those photos don't look amateur to me.

mom31257 Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 November! It is going to be packed with so much fun, friends, and family! My side of the family has an early Thanksgiving next weekend. My older sister is taking me to the Monet exhibit in Atlanta. My dd, who is taking a break from nursing, is taking me to Disneyworld for a week. The weekend I get back from Disney, my sisters and I have a sister weekend together. Our immediate family and ds' gf travel for the Thanksgiving break, and we are going with my best friend and her family. So, we'll have Thanksgiving together there! I think it will be the most fun in one month I have ever had. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
