November Already

This past weekend was my annual sisters' trip.  My sisters and sisters-in-law have gone away for a weekend in the fall every year for many years.  Over the years this trip has evolved to include Mom and the nieces and nieces-in-law that are older than 18.  I never missed a single one of these trips until we left on The Great Loop Trip.  I missed two years during that time.  We were gone for three years, but one year they came to where we were docked for our sisters' trip.  This year it was only my sisters and Mom.  The four of us went to Clarksville, Indiana.  We started our Christmas shopping, went to a very nice craft show in Louisville, and attended the play "Mousetrap" at the Derby Dinner Theater.  We ate a lot, laughed a lot, and played cards.  While we missed the rest of the girls, we had a great time anyway.

Before I left for this weekend, John told me that he bought me a present that was going to be delivered on Friday.  He said it was something I wouldn't buy for myself.  It's not even my birthday or our Anniversary or anything.  When I got back, he gave it to me.  It is a box of wonderful teas from Mighty Leaf Tea Company.  He was right.  I would not have ordered it for myself, but they are wonderful.  I might have to reorder them because I haven't tried a single one that I didn't like.  Thanks, John. 

There aren't very many people around the harbor since the first of the month.  Pickwick State Park has been working on replacing their docks and, apparently, one (or more) of them has been finished and open for boats.  Several boats left our dock to go there.  Several boats have left for Florida.  Loopers have been passing through here and we enjoy talking with them, but they don't stay more than a night or two.  It's a good thing we have each other to talk to.

That's it for a week or so.  Hang in there.....
