When we returned from Paris the month was almost gone, but the last bit of October included Cousins' Breakfast, Kris's birthday, and Halloween. In November we headed to Vernal to watch the kids; there were no sitters available because it was prom or some such thing. We made the final payment on our mortgage in November, and we started family dinners again for the first time since COVID became serious. We began our kitchen redo and spent a productive day in SLC choosing quartz and tile. Camille was married to Adam Clegg and the family gathered at the Startup Building. The Colvers were in town for Thanksgiving with Daniel's family and we had them, Ollie, and Tucker for an Indian nosh on Thanksgiving Eve. Emily hosted Thanksgiving at her home, and boom, November was done.
