Hello,

And books are on the shelf.

(a great post by sarah ockler about banning books and what it teaches to the children)

I do so love fall! Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. I don't so much like any of the rest. I also wish I could watch the leaves change color, but alas, they just fall off the trees here if they fall off at all (yes, we have trees other than cactus).

Oh, and we will be going to Albania at the end of October and staying on through most of November. I WILL be returning to the US for Thanksgiving. I told Hubby I will NOT spend another Thanksgiving in Albania! :D

haha lol! why? because thanksgiving is not an european holiday?

Not so good this month......my grandpa died on the 6th so I had to make an emergency trip home. I miss him already

Angela I'm so sorry!! I had a hard time when my grandpa died too. It gets better and I always love talking about him. Grandpas are the best!

Well, of course its not silly, it's the pilgrims coming to America and such I thought. Maybe I should review my Thanksgiving history... I really don't know now that I'm thinking of it.

But, besides that Albanians don't celebrate ANYTHING and what it really comes down to and this is where you should take note....

THEIR FOOD BITES THE BIG ONE!! :D

They are aren't they! Thanks and I know it'll get easy just trying to move forward at this point

angela, i am so sorry for your loss. i hope you are coping with it and remembering good times and can find solace in those memories.

jen, have a great time in albania. sounds exciting.

i'm just trying to get excited about teaching after a two month vacation. it's hard to get back into the groove of things.

good luck getting back into it Elizabeth! and thank you I'm working on it, not doing too bad.

Thanks Elizabeth! I'm excited for the break but nervous to go. In the past it hasn't been so good. Maybe it will be better now. :D

jen, just try to stay positive. think of your girls and how exciting the experience will be for them, right?

Right! My oldest has been there but the youngest hasn't (outside of my belly that is *i was pregnant*). Plus, it's good for the language skills and most of the in laws don't have green cards so it is the only way to see them. It's what I keep reminding myself of. :D

Angela, I'm sorry that he past on. Remember all of the good things. I never had a grandpa. Well, my mom's dad died when I was one and my dad's dad left my grandma when my dad was 6. Too bad. I hear they tell good stories :)

Fall oh my, I already have a cold! Dang! But I can't wait for the trees to start turning and I already had my first pumpkin pie. SO, yummy.

I don't do Thanksgiving. Ah, they slaughtered indians on that day. But we do have family come over and talk about what a joke it is for people to celebrating that fact. As we sit there and eat too. Hmmm... We are odd.

Albania will be a blast. I'm so already in the suitcase waiting to go! It should be a fun for those girls. *and sneak away with some knitting tricks for me :)*
