Hi Heidi, Good to hear you're doing well with your second knee. Have you downloaded any games onto your ipad/tablet etc. I downloaded a few games for our travels soon, got a few hours sitting at airports etc along the way. I like the word games. Spelltower has got me hooked. I bought that one for a couple of $s. So at night before bed I have a bit of a game. So addictive. There are soooo many free ones, you should have a look. Might help keep that boredom at bay. Congratulations on your husbands retirement, I am sure it will be a wonderfully happy time for you both, especially going to live at the lake. Such beautiful photos you've shared. I can't imagine you having snow probably by the end of the month. So hard to imagine when you live in such a tropical state in Australia. We are having our hot and humid days, with thunderstorms that brew. There was one last night, but where we live we never get severe thunderstorms, but you turn on the t.v. and you see what devastation it did cause, and all we got was a bit of rumblings and a little bit of rain. Our holiday to London & Paris is fast approaching and I can't wait. Looking at the temperatures - it's coooooooldd. But that'll be half the fun for us Queenslanders. So looking forward to the Christmas shops. Not long before Grandbaby is here, we're talking next month now!! Lovely times ahead. Take care Heidi, glad you're doing well. Take care. Jenny 
and I think some people who didn't RSVP will be ringing the doorbell anyway. We stocked up on beer, wine and soda and my daughter will help with hors d'oeuvres plus a lot of people have offered to bring appetizers and wine so I know it will be fine...but yikes what did I get myself into?? I am doing my best to channel my inner Martha Stewart! And Chowda is going to wear her Christmas jingle collar and has promised her best behavior. Though frankly she can't be trusted with plates of food at eye level...

with wanting to get rid of that cane. It's only 6 weeks, and you're doing amazingly. It won't be long. Probably a good thing that you're going into your winter months as you'll be more likely to sit down and keep warm than want to do a great deal. Just think of next summer - lake, kayak, what more could a girl want. No stopping you then. Our holiday is in a week - cannot believe how quickly it is approaching. We head off on the night of the 5th Dec, stopping in Dubai for 2 days/nights, then onto Paris for 4nights, then train to London for another 4 nights, then directly home. I saw my doctor a few days ago to get a letter for my medications (quite strict in Dubai it seems. I heard that Codeine is a banned substance there, and that was through the travel agent, so thought I'd just cover myself with what I'm taking with me) and the doc was horrified we were going to Europe for such a short time. I know, I know. BUT with having a small business it's sooo hard to go for any length of time. We could say "one day we'll do that" but you never know what's around the corner, and like I said to the doc, I would rather have seen a little piece of the world than not at all, and we can always go back - God willing.
Enjoy London and Dubai as well!
Your pictures of N.H. Are gorgeous. As you know we are getting ready for a snow storm 
We are headed to Pennsylvania tomorrow morning for my mother's 80th birthday party
