We're all still alive here, just in the holiday preparation weeds. I love hosting Thanksgiving. It gives me the incentive to get cleaning done as we're closing up the house for winter, and I find that I tend to change over decorations and quilts this time of year, too.
Of course, all of this takes time, and it means that I disappear from the blog scene. Most of the world doesn't even know I'm away from my blog, but for those of you who come to read now and then, we're all fine.
I find as I work I'm composing blog entries in my head. I really need to take a page from Blue Witch and get a voice recognition program. Then, I could multitask! For now, all those entries are lost, like smoke in the air. Early next year, I'll be back to more regular posting AND reading.
