I'm only sipping my first cup of coffee (with pumpkin spice creamer), not fully coherent, but getting there...
What a gorgeous day! I know I've blabbered on and on about how much I enjoy fall, so I won't indulge in any more well-deserved accolades, but MY it's pretty out there!
Yesterday I drove up to Healdsberg to make some headway on a work project with a friend. She took me to eat at a charming place in Geyserville called Hoffman House for breakfast! It was at a vineyard, and silly me for not taking my camera. It's the scenery that autumn nuts like me live for! Ah well, another time....
It's been an enjoyable week off work, but I feel like I've been busier than if I were working! I've been taking some continuing education days/classes, and that's been a nice break from the norm. Medical Spanish rocks!! What a great class and so much fun! I will try with all my might to keep up the momentum and keep learning and practicing. I would rather communicate with my patients with my really bad grammar than not be able to communicate with them at all!!
The kids were supposed to have a swim meet today in Sebastopol. OUTDOORS. Eeek. We had them all signed up, but due to Ma-lak having a horrible cough for the past two days and Daryle and I being EXHAUSTED from our busy week, we decided to play hooky and sleep in. HALLELUJAH!!! It felt so good to wake up WITHOUT an alarm for a change, although I did wake up at 6:00.... Oh well! Hopefully we can make it to the meet tomorrow, these meets really are quite fun, looong, but fun! The kids can't wait, their competitive hearts are ready to get out there and splash it up!
OK, cup of coffee #2.... With peppermint mocha creamer this time, I like to mix it up.
The holidays are coming and this always means lots of travel plans for the Smiths! Either someone's coming or someone's going, but it's all good!
This year David is going to my parents' house for Thanksgiving, which is a first! It's a pretty quick trip from Baltimore, and he's looking forward to meeting some extended family, eating "good, non-college-food cooking" and watching lots of football with the guys!
Usually my parents are able to get out here in late January, but this year is a special treat because they'll be here over New Years! We are so excited and the countdown is on! David will also be home for an entire MONTH, so our house will bustling with activity, just like I like it - with brief interludes of peace and tranquility, of course. :)
Blessings to you all!!!
