I liked October's picture on my kitchen wall calendar for obvious reasons.
This is the glass display case at the library. They asked staff for their book art and I obliged with three pieces to contribute: the "READ" letters on the top shelf, the "Read" book art on the middle left, and the dictionary page art next to it in the back. I was happy to loan them out, but I didn't realize it would be on a long-term basis. They're still there and the tops of my bookshelves at home continue to be sad and empty without them!
I want to get this book. And read it. 😄
Aurora, living my dream life.
Sam went to his friend's cross-country meet. It was fun because his friends were from the neighboring town and they were running against our town at the meet, and Sam has friends on that team too.
This was my attempt at seeing the Northern Lights. It's a tragic irony in my life this year that these are one of the things I've always wanted to see most, and both times that they were visible in Massachusetts this year (which is very unusual), I missed them both. 😭
Nope, nothing.
Hopefully next time! 🤞
I did some coloring for the first time in awhile. It's one of the few artistic things that I'm fairly decent at. Impressive, I know.
I watched a live webinar with some LDS politicians and members who support Trump, and he was on the call for part of it speaking directly to Latter-day Saint supporters. He did it from his plane on his way from a campaign stop in Arizona. Cool!
See the bottom left corner...
Glenn Beck was on, too.
I got a new calling in October: Relief Society First Counselor. My friend Jenny is President and my friend Virginia is Second Counselor. I don't like how I look in this picture of us but I'll put my pride aside and include it! I'm keeping it small, though. 😆
This will be my second time in less than four years being a R.S. First Counselor. I'm happy with the calling and I like it, but I miss teaching the 16-17 year-old Sunday School class. Meanwhile, Sam is relieved that I won't be his teacher next year. 😆 I was looking forward to that!
Speaking of Relief Society, my friend Meredith did this nice presentation about women in the scriptures at her house one evening.
Facebook fun!
Sometimes I miss the boys being little so much! We had a great life in Iowa when they were growing up.
Mr. Beast bars on display at Target. Sam and I are fans. They're delicious!
Aurora living my dream again...
🙌
I bought some blue-light blocking glasses because my eyes were feeling the strain from all the time I spend on the computer for work, email, webinars, etc. They make a great difference!
I wore glasses for years and it's kind of fun to wear them again sometimes.
Computer-less and therefore glasses-less on my exercise walk!
This is my favorite cheese. There's always at least one bar of it in my fridge.
I finally figured out how to curl my hair easily and with minimal effort and zero heat. Nice! Here I am on Halloween with my newfound curls and waves (and new Halloween headband).
A beautiful thank you card from Nate and Kat!
