You know, I got a pack of these in the drawer next to me that some friends brought for me which I haven't opened.
Don't know if you have these in your country could be an Aussie thing, but they are awesome, chocolate, upon chocolate on chocolate.
Talk about being granted a spirit of self control haha!
I have to pack them away before the nurse sees them lol
PS notice how the packet says the most irresistible?... I win

I am really frustrated. I do not like the chapter we are covering in my accounting class. It's one of the hardest things I will ever learn as my instructor stated at a lecture on Monday, but I just have to get it right. Please be praying that God gives me the knowledge to comprehend it and the patience to learn it. I just have to get it right

You will understand it and don't give up on trying. You could even try googling the subject to see if someone has explained it better than what your reading, a text book? That's what I do when I'm learning. Look forward to the joy ahead when you finally get the 'aha!' moment
Hello Frank, do please excuse my delayed response... I was at work until eight o'clock tonight (eleven hours @ work) and then went straight from there to an evening meeting, and finally got home a while ago to have a late dinner. I have not fed kitty yet...she has not finished breakfast LOL And I am exhausted.
I hope your son and dil have made it in okay. That sounds like a very long flight! I hope it was uneventful for them
It must be quite a stir with everyone coming and visiting, but so nice to see everyone again and get all caught up, and just spend time together. How many people will be at the reunion all told? Do you all have Thanksgiving dinner together?
I don't remember Thanksgiving so much as a child, but at Christmas time it was not unusual to have more than thirty people for dinner. Of course there were thirteen of of just us to start hehee. There would be one long table in the dining room stretching into the living room a bit with the table extensions added to the dining room table, and then card tables added at the ends, and the children would be relegated to eating in the kitchen... so it was an adults only affair in the dining room What a joy to finally be included at that table! And then so much to clear away and clean up afterwards, but the women would all pitch in, and it would all get done pretty quickly over much talking. We used to play games in the afternoon and again after dinner, Monopoly or war (Risk?) during the day, and card games were always a going concern, with Euchre being by far the most popular, any time of day. When I first came out west, a lot of people had not even heard of that card game.
My daughter now likes to play a game after dinner on special occasions, either cards (we all like Hearts) or some other game, I am trying to remember the name of it, you have to make up story lines for an answer after choosing from a number of different topics on the game card... and then you have to try to guess which is the right one of all the submissions, and you get points for picking the right one and when others choose your made up answer. It can get quite hilarious... I still can't think of the name, I think it starts with a B... Balderdash! That's it I kept thinking Baloney LOL. Scrabble is good too. We tried this new game recently called Castles of Burgundy, but it was really really complicated, which meant people took a long time taking their turn, and so that was not conducive to holding everyone's attention.
Your weather sounds much the same as ours here temperature wise, around forty degrees, especially in the evening, though it does get colder at night and I sometimes hear them say on the radio it is going to go down to around freezing. When it is nice and clear and sunny during the day of course it is always colder, but I do not mind that, as it sure beats the rain, and we get lots of that normally, throughout the fall and winter.
There was snow on the far mountains this morning; it looked quite pretty in the early light, mountain tops tinged with pink across the water, behind the first row of closer mountains. The ski resorts hurt when there is not enough snow in winter, and then it affects everything else in the spring with the run off. It's all connected
I hope the weather holds for your horse riding excursion. Will you be riding Midnight? How old is he now? How many people will be riding? When will April be getting Mingo? Is Chewey much bigger still? I trust April continues to thrive in your care
My sister's one year old dog was fifty pounds when I was there, so I had a very good idea of Chewey's size at last report (her dog may be part shepherd also, though white). Koda is taller than Coco now, and not even half a year old
I am glad to hear the cotton crop did so well after the disappointment that was your soy beans. What did you end up doing with them? You had mentioned it was hardly worth picking them, they were so small...
It is almost midnight here so I better sign off...
Take care Frank, and happy Thanksgiving!
