Halloween...

I forgot to mention that the kids are excited about this upcoming candy craziness. Lyle will be a Ninja Pig and Molly will be a crayon. I cant wait for the candy witch to come and remove ALL the glutened candy. Poof! Actually, this post is really just a test to see if it links up with my Facebook page....

Countdown....

No, not to the South Africa trip but rather to the BroadBand concert at Passim (Harvard Square) on Sunday November 15th at 4:30pm. Show will last about 45 minutes and you can get tickets on-line. www.clubpassim.org

So here in Vermont, the leaves have almost all fallen off the trees, the sun sets at 3p, the kids soccer seasons have ended and we have just put the hugely underperforming summer garden to bed. We are routinely using a woodstove and frost covers our car each morning. Notice the singular car. A few weeks ago, a deer accidentally hit the minivan and said minivan has been in the shop since. Thankfully, everyone was fine, including the deer, but the car, and our deductible took the hit.

We have thus far managed to dodge swine flu. Phew! The girls are looking forward to performing in Groton School's production of Pippin next weekend. Molly is unicycling and Lyle will be walking on a globe. These cool circus tricks they enjoyed from summer camp will come in handy on the stage!

Thanks to this rainy day, I managed to complete the seat weaving for the kitchen chairs we picked up this fall. Each is a different pattern and color. I will post pics of them when I master THAT technology. I am also working on our Holiday card, which will be electronic and early and highly suggestive that we wont read them until we return from Africa.

Dave has been reading a lot and spending lots of time dealing with the insurance company and autobody shop.

That's all for now. We hope to see you at Passim in a few short weeks!
