A Lo-Tech, Slow-Paced Week

I'm still alive... it's just been a VERY lo-tech week.  I've been doing a lot of "pleasure" reading this week - I went to the library and got some books from some of the authors I've been reviewing books for.  I'm REALLY enjoying reading books by Lauraine Snelling (started the "Red River of the North" series) and the duo of Tracie Peterson and Judith Miller (I finished"The Broadmoor Legacy" series).

We've also been fighting colds this week, so it was a pretty slow-paced week, due to that.

(The rest of this post was originally posted on our "Family Blog" earlier today.)

Today is "D Day" on our house offer.  If we don't hear back from the sellers today, we're retracting our offer and will probably be making plans to downsize til we're able to relocate (probably to MI).  We'll see what happens - it's all in God's hands!

We're looking forward to the upcoming holiday weekend - Thanksgiving is my FAVORITE holiday of the year!  We're planning to head to [BC] when [J] gets out of work on Wednesday (he's getting out early, trying to use up some vacation time) and we'll be in BC in time for dinner and then PPP at CBC!  Thursday, we'll join the [C] Family at GC's house for dinner and hanging out.  Friday, we'll probably hit a few Black Friday sales (especially if we're not buying a house, since we'll have more money to spend on Christmas) and hang with the [E]s on [P] clan.  Saturday, we'll probably head up to GR to spend the rest of the weekend with [H] and [D] ([J]'s sister and brother-in-law) and hopefully Mom and Dad [P], too!

I can't believe there's only 34 days til Christmas! It's sneaking up on me SOOO quickly this year.  I really need to figure out what we're giving people, and I need to get to work on making some of the gifts we're giving!  (If you're on my Christmas list (or [J]'s) - you know who you are - PLEASE let me know ASAP what you'd like so I can get to work!!)

Hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving and enjoy the start of the Holiday Season!
