November speeding by

November was a whirlwind. I was thinking of Christmas time and putting up lights really early, knowing we would be coming back from vacation and be in full holiday swing. We started off with Emmy's Birthday. It was a celebration of her finishing her thesis. She defended and got it passed and turned in and we are so pleased it is done and proud of her for getting her Master of Science in Special Education! We went to Flame Fire and ate a lot of meat and enjoyed some time near Folson Lake and eating at the cliff house. Like a job offer, I got the opportunity to be on the Administration Commitee for our demonstration garden in Loomis. It has been great being at the groundbreaking level starting to get that going. Joe and I shopped a while on Black Friday and I have our christmas card done. Thanksgiving was nice. My folks came over and we enjoyed Rah Rah's rolls and pumpkin pie that were sent to us. Celia continues to blaze through school work in spurts and finished well with seminary attendance and testing. Spence got a cool mullet haircut and I am on the grind trying to get him some fantastic dentistry to help him out. Something always comes up, but we are blessed and loved and the year is flying by. I still am grateful to be a part of the children's lives and be doing my thing in UC Master Gardener newspaper writing. I pulished for November about Mychorrizae and I am slated to write for January as well. Theres nothing I'd rather be doing then my current jobs with the templand family history with Brian, my mothering and Master Garden duties. I feel blessed and it make al the time fly by.
