One holiday down;

Well Thanks Giving is over and done with but the indigestion. It’s great to have family around but even better to watch them roll down the street on their way to their respective places. Now comes the fun of Christmas shopping and I haven’t even started. Something very different for me because usually I start around in July so I don’t get in this very predicament.
I’m grateful that school doesn’t start until after the first of the year for me, Jacks is taking a micro-mester, something like a mini-mester but more compact and longer class hours in the day. I don’t think pulling off that would be an option to me this year, nor does my school offer it. He seems to be oriented in his new home life; saying goodbye to a few friends here and online seemed to have put him in low mood. However, he’s run into someone new that keeps him smiling again, its nice to see him happy. He was telling me about the small town that he now lives in and how he found the local Wal-Mart and Target close to home. A friend of mine lives about 30 minutes or so away from him, she in fact told me about this blog site and informed me she could keep him entertained if need be. Shay, no, “Your” kind of entertainment will end him up in jail his first month there.
Not that it gets very cold here I’m welcoming the cooler weather for a change. Just to settle the bug population down hopefully for next year. Also I need to start planning on building on my lot; the last phase is quickly approaching my area. This means I will have a paved road for me to drive up to see the land and determine the house I want. One nice thing about buying in the last phase of a new subdivision is to see the scope of houses that are being built. This way I don’t over build nor do I under build in the area. Also gives me ample time to work on other projects until it is time to work on my own home.
Lori is none the happier about me moving out; I assured her that just riding Pokie to the back part of Gs house will bring her to my back yard, that doesn’t seem to give her any comfort. I think when Luke moved out she was too small to appreciate his departure, now that Jacks has moved out to school she’s isn’t very happy about it and this summer will be my time to hit the road as well. It’s probably hard for her to have 3 older brothers there for her own petting and personal entertainment, now for us all to abandon her.
