Today is the 3rd windy (but temperatures in the 70's) day in a row. Unfortunately a cold front is about to blow in, along with rain that might change to slushy snow during the night. No accumulation of course, since the ground is not frozen. But it will be a shock to my body when I get up in the morning.
I'll be at work tomorrow, but hopefully will get a chance to peak in the Veteran's assemblies during the day. Our school has so many students, who have so many Veteran friends and relatives who are invited to come & be recognized, each grade has its own assembly during the day. Dennis has the day off and will be helping with the Veteran's Day Breakfast our church sponsors each year. They have a good turn out.
Yesterday, 3 of my friends and I kicked off our Christmas shopping in Rolla. The stores on Pine Street offered 20% off on all items. I found some good Christmas gifts which I cannot post about (since friends and family read my blog), but I also found a wonderful Christmas apron that I bought for moi. We also shopped at the Rolla Craft Fair, which was also fun. Since it was held at RMS, I saw quite a few people I knew...staff members as well as parents and students. Since it was such a beautiful sunny day (in spite of the wind) we went to the Tater Patch for a late lunch. Their "patio/garden" area is surrounded by a tall privacy fence, so that blocked enough wind to make it very pleasant. Good food, a glass of wine, and lots of stories and laughter went on at our table. Fortunately everyone else out there was also having a lot of fun and laughing. It was a good time.
When I got home I had time for a quick nap before heading back to Rolla. Vicki, Fred, Dennis & I ate at Colton's before going to the play. It was "Little Women: the musical". None of the songs were earth-shattering, but it was well done. The singing, acting, and staging were excellent.
The Farmer's Almanac predicts Nov 12-16: showers, cool. That seems to fit with what the weather people are forecasting. Of course it is not very specific.
