My How Time Flies!

Oh my goodness! It's November and I've missed October almost completely. I know it was there--I gave out Halloween candy on the 31st--but somehow it just zipped by without much more than a passing glance.

Now that I think about it, I remember sister Mary and her friend John being here the first week. Then I started rehearsals for Seussical, a musical based on the stories of Dr. Seuss, with High Point Community Theatre (I'm a Who). The rest of the month is a blur. I know I played a lot of bridge (both with real people and on line) and did a lot of Sudoku puzzles (a billion of them are available on www.websudoku.com). I didn't clean house. I did that before Mary's arrival. I replanted some of the daffodil bulbs I dug up last summer but still have a lot more to put back in the ground. They had really multiplied since they were planted 13 years ago.

I went to water exercise sessions--even led a couple in the teacher's absence. I continued to slog through Harry Truman's biography in between reading some light mystery novels. I read the newspaper (what little there is of it these days) mainly for the obituaries.

I remember October seemed to have a lot of cloudy rainy days. Then the leaves burst forth with color. I prefer spring, though, for beauty.

Now the Christmas shoppng season will begin--a month early to "stimulate the economy"--and cajole people into taking on more debt. I'm already working on my Wish List from Santa and have stashed away several gifts for others in my "Christmas Closet".

I hope this month goes as quickly as October to bring us to Seussical performances November 19-22 and the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas the 27th through the 30th. My birthday is November 28th, but it's not a very significant one, so I'll let it slide by as I'm basking in the Caribbean sun.

Before we know it, there'll be a new year. My how time flies when you're having fun!
