Bonny Cows - November in General

November in General

The month is about gone. It has been very busy and at times stressful. We started the month with Judgement House. It was good and a great experience for my kids to reach out. Then we had 2 weeks of go go go to get as much done as possible before we left for MI on the 18th. We spent a week up north - thankfully it was not a cold year. We had fun - we spent good time with Kate & J and kids. Saw some others and then did Thanksgiving. Had to bake in Kate's kitchen - forgot how hard it is to use someone else's kitchen. Even my own daughter's! Got to see Chuck and Sheryl's new house. Really missed having Will & Jenn with us but understood they wanted to be home. Steve Jr brought Boone with him and that was fun. They went further north and took pictures and played. Sr and I with Gerrit went to White Lake on Friday after Thanksgiving and really enjoyed that. After the guys went shooting on Saturday AM we headed SOUTH. Leah cried and that always makes me feel so bad. Gerrit and Andrew played so well this time that was fun. Arrived home Sunday to a clean house - thanks to Pam. Everything is now put away and last load of laundry is in washer. Tonight all should be back to normal other than tomorrow has to be a large baking day to get back on top of bread and other such things. Gerrit thinks he is going to starve before I make more waffles! Yogurt needs to be made... So much to catch up on after being gone a whole week. THEN we must start Christmas decorating. Everything is already planned just needs to be executed. Maybe after girls get schoolwork done today they can get going on some of the decorating. Reading this seems like we did so little yet I know much was accomplished.
