What a busy, thankful, jolly season!

What a crazy busy time of year!  Traveling, eating, shopping, thinking (Presents, cards, etc.)  What to do what to do. . .

Well to start off Thanksgiving was a wonderful day.  When I was growing up we would travel to my Grandmother's house in Little Rock.  Going to the house where my mother grew up.  Reliving the great depression through my grandmother's and house (If you have never been inside a house of someone who lived through that, you have missed out.)  But since the early 2000's she passed on and our thanksgiving tradition was in limbo.  Some days we spent at our house, just our family.  Other times we spent with the Jacobs family either in Corsicana or in Mesquite.  But this year I got to spend my Thanksgiving with my parents and my in-laws.  It was a wonderful new tradition to start.  I absolutely love spending time with family and can't wait for these new things to become traditions.

Now on to traveling.  Texas is a large state.  I am beginning to think a little too long.  Traveling home takes way too long, way too long.  This time around we took a different route which didn't take as long but was still long!   However,  the weather in New Mexico decided to show off that it can get quite cold here.  Oh and it snowed, didn't stick but made the trip a little interesting.  I am starting to worry about our Christmas travel but we will cross that road when we need to (hoping that it is not icy).

I am excited about this season and I hope that I will be able to decorate soon, put presents under the tree and fully enjoy what this season is all about!

Knitting wise, my ADD knitting syndrome has kicked in.  I did make one of these.  I LOVE them.  I have never made a sock that fit so well and it's my first toe up.  I think I may never make a top down sock again.  I have also been working on some presents for some new friends but darn you ADD.  I also made an infinity scarf from some left over thick and quick yarn.  It is quite warm and made of my favorite colors.  Hopefully more knitting will come and maybe I will find a pattern that will keep me entertained but until then other projects will keep me entertained.

Well so long for now, I feel a few more smaller post on the way and possibly some pics.  Long posts are hard to put together, however I tend to go long periods of times in between posts so . . . . here's to hoping!
