Good morning, and
Welcome November!
Debbie, I hope Kirby has recovered from his 1st Halloween. At least your neighbor was thoughtful enough to warn you ahead of time about his party.
Ruth, most of our clocks in the house reset themselves automatically, but I do have to remember to turn back the one in my car. This is a timely reminder to change the batteries in your smoke detectors, too. We always change them when we turn back clocks in the Fall.
Last night was fun, and we got a lot of Trick or Treaters. Most of the costumes were amazing this year, and we had plenty of adorable little puppy dogs and princesses, too. We were giving out candy by the handful, but we still have leftovers. It's a good thing I'm not the least bit tempted by candy. I do enjoy a peppermint patty occasionally, but no one seemed to give them out this year.
This morning is Mass, then I'm making 2 pots of vegetable soup, one with meat and the other without. I'm making a loaf of whole wheat, seeded bread in the bread machine, too. It will be nice to come in from raking leaves all afternoon to a nice bowl of homemade soup.
