Day 329, November 25

These boots are made for walking...and that's just what they'll do! One of my little girls at school wore these boots today. She was so proud and they were clippity clopping down the hallway.

Day 328, November 24

So this couch & love seat (you can just see the edge in the lower right corner) is what I ended up getting on sunday after the couches wouldn't go through the door. This couch has two recliners in the ends. The recliner was delivered on sunday, too. It probably is best that it worked out this way...I do love having the recliners in the couch.

Day 327, Monday, November 23

Today was our annual Grandparents Day at school. Students are allowed to have their grandparents come to school and eat lunch with them. They had turkey, dressing, potatoes & gravy, cranberries, corn, roll & butter and pumpkin pie & whipped cream. We had 203 grandparents eat lunch. Our library is always in need of new books, so we have the grandparents Adopt-a-Book in honor of their grandchild. They pay $5 for a label in the book with their name and the students' name. The kids are allowed to check the book out first. We also take their picture to be sent home later.

Day 326, Sunday, November 22

Here is my new love seat for the living room. We bought 2 couches, a love seat and recliner. New furniture is awesome! Well, except that the couches didn't fit through the doorway to the family room!!!! They had to go back on the truck and I had to go figure out new furniture for the family room...before thursday!

Day 325, Saturday, November 21

Taylor Dent played in the finals of the Illinois Challenger today. He lost the match but earned $4,200 and 45 ATP points. I didn't go watch...probably should have...but I did get to see him play on thursday night. Hopefully, he will play in the Australian Open!

Day 324, Friday, November 20

As I was driving to work today, the sun was trying to shine ... but it was way too foggy. I stopped at the park and took this picture through the trees. If you look really close...down in the lower right hand corner you can see the roof line of a house in the background. Those trees at the right are really that squiggly!

Day 323, Thursday, November 19

Taylor Dent is my favorite professional tennis player. I got to watch him play in Champaign tonight! He won his match 6-1, 6-2 and will play in the semi-finals on friday. I have been following him since I saw him play at this challenger about 6 or 7 years ago. Thanks to Jim for going with me tonight and to our friend Byron, who got "bumped" for Taylor Dent
