Things Have Gotten Busy!

We had a great Thanksgiving.  I forgot to take photos of people! 

First pumpkin pie I've made in ages.  Usually we just buy them.  This had a gluten free crust which was ok.  But I didn't care for the filling!  So I am going to try again, maybe next Sunday.

Will/Eli was home and made things so much fun.  He is so kind and generous to everyone.  And he fills the house with music and laughter.  Well, Sean and Becky do that too, but they do their own separate thing music wise, and they still have a tendency to bicker.  With Will everybody plays together and he has an anti-bickering magic about him.

I've gotten busy again with the American Solidarity Party.  I've also have started getting busy with working with two different organizations for the homeless.  Tomorrow morning I've got to really get rolling with making phone calls and drafting stuff for them, etc.

On top of this I finally wrote my quarterly reports for my students.  I hate that sort of thing.  Dread it, really.  I am so glad I've decided this is my last year teaching at co-op.  Next year will be my last year homeschooling and I'm going to cut out a lot of extra stuff and just concentrate on that.  Speaking of which I also need to take over literature with B.  She was taking an on line class but had fallen so behind on everything because of her rough start due to her health that we decided to cut our losses and just do it ourselves.  So we gotta get that up and going tomorrow.  I do think B is on the mend though.  I see a light at the end of the tunnel.

Will, whipping up a gluten free, vegetarian dinner with flare.  He just bought that dinner jacket at a thrift store this weekend.

So life has been rich and interesting and slightly stressful and just so busy.  Time is moving at breakneck speed!  But I am savoring some things.  This evening Eli and I made dinner while listening to Chopin.  It was fun (and delicious!).

Rick built the first fire of the season tonight.
