That said, here's some evidence of what I've been up to this month:
I tried to accomplish NaNoWriMo for the third year in a row. So far, I've only made it to 50,000 words ONE year. The first year I tried. This year, I made it to 7,000 or so words amidst family happenings and editing work. Oh well, there's always next year. And, I'll continue working on my novel throughout the year to come.
As mentioned before, I've been editing. A lot. One devotional. One anthology. One novel. And multiple web articles. I love words!
This year, we traveled to NY for Thanksgiving week. It was great to see friends and family. Vic enjoyed his annual hunt (although he didn't shoot anything). I enjoyed spending time with my nieces and our kids. While there, I also enjoyed taking a few great shots with my camera. Frieda (my sister) also loves to take photos, and she helped us with our family photos. It's rare to get Zachary in a photo with us, since he lives in NY. I love how t Here's a sampling of the shots I succeeded at taking. (At least one of us succeeded, huh Vic?)

| Dad and I are Mom's biggest pumpkin pie fans. Here, we split one in half. Half for him. Half for me. ;) Actually, we did share it with others. But we got the first pieces! |

| I call this one "Thanksgiving Day Parade." These turkeys went all out to show off for the hens. Roxbury, NY - Thanksgiving Morning |

Happy end-of-November, Alycia! Yeah, where DID it go?? Looking forward to some Christmas music and cookies :)
ReplyDeleteI'm sooooo with you, only I'd say, "Where did the YEAR go?" I remember my grandmother talking about how fast time goes by when you're old...and now I know first hand what she meant!
ReplyDeleteChristmas blessings to you and your family!
Great pictures...especially the turkeys. This year has gone by so fast, it almost feels like the blink of an eye. In a small way, I can imagine why a day is like a thousand years to the Lord! =)
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a nice Thanksgiving up here in NY! God bless your December!
