Wow seems like this year is going by so fast before I know it Thanksgiving and Christmas will be here. I think tonight is the night for our trick-or-treaters, but they change so much in so many areas that I’m never sure. I think the parents enjoy it more than the kids and hopefully it is safer now than it use to be. At least I haven’t heard about a lot of mischief like past years.

Sunday was nippy, but Bill and I rode the bike for a bit. We went through town before the parade started and the people were already lined up along the whole road so they could see everything. They always put their seats out the night before to reserve their spots. I felt like I was in the parade it was spooky.

I’m not a big parade person, but I go watch one every now and then just to show support. I do like to watch the parades on tv sometimes just to see the creative floats. Thanksgiving will be here soon and I feel like I have a lot to be thankful for, but I am grateful for my life and the people in it all year long.

I use to get very stressed during holidays, but they don’t bother me the older I get. Now that I’m older and even with menopause I find I let a lot of bothersome things go. This is the first year that I have ever been sent a form for jury selection duty though and that is worrisome. I don’t mind being responsible for my actions and fate, but I sure don’t want to determine someone else’s.
