October 2024

With just four days until the 2024 election, I am anxious, nauseated, and hopeful. We will know by the November blog post if we survived. October was filled with good stuff. Debby Gibbs came for conference weekend and we went leaf peeping. We met with The Group, ate with SKT and Annie, traveled to Arizona, and flew from Phoenix to TX for a visit with Debra Sue. There was good food, visiting, and movies. We had a day trip to Waco to see Chip and Joanna Gaines' stuff with a stop at Buc-ee's on the way back to Houston. Returning to AZ, we had a three-day reunion with Kris's brothers. Again: visiting, a movie, and plenty of food. Following a couple of days with Maren and family, with whom we celebrated Kris's birthday, home was calling. We arrived back in Utah just in time for Cousins' Breakfast. Poof! October was gone.
