I can't believe I missed a whole month! The time is flying by!!! I have lots of pictures to post. I experienced my first Black Friday. Actually it started at 10:30pm on Thanksgiving and moved into Friday. The numbers of people crowding into stores just amazed me! I couldn't even get to display racks in some of the stores to look at the items I was interested in because of the numbers of people I would have had to push through!

Halloween was good. The kids trick-or-treated around our neighborhood and Halloween night dressed as Eeyore (Brooke), Storm Trooper (Luke), and Paul Abdul (guess), and a Hotdog (Samson), they paraded around downtown Monte the night before and merchants handed out treats.... and sometime before midnight someone smashed our pumpkins :(

November was pretty uneventful. Thanksgiving was at Danielle's in Castle Rock with cousins and Grandpa (Dad) was here from N. CA. The food was wonderful. I drove Nikki up to Denver and showed her the 16th Street Mall and the Capital and some other misc. attractions in the area... Invesco field, 6 Flags, Pepsi Ctr..... homeless.... hookers.... oh, actually we didn't go down Colfax. We will save that for the trip we go to Casabonita! I haven't been there in 30 years at least so we will have to do that one trip up north!

So, after shopping Black Friday and getting some okay deals (no electronics so wasn't that big of a deal).... we are now into December... Christmas is right around the corner... not panicing!!

I will try and post pictures soon... I have a lot to add!
