November 2019 Happenings

Beautiful morning for a birthday hike with great friends for Tanya's birthday:)  This year we went to her old stomping grounds, Boone Y-Camp.

                                                     Adaptive Art completed painting.

 I had a wonderful surprise and delight when Uncle Rob and Aunt Jolene stopped in to see me at Central Elementary School.  They had stopped to pick up somethings from Mom and Dad and then found my school on the way out of town.  I showed them my room and then we had time to catch up a little bit in the hallway.  We need to get out to eastern Iowa to see them more often!

Matthew and I had a date night at Des Moines Beer, Wine and Food Fest in early November.  We even got to catch up with Andrea for a little while.  We tried lots of yummy food and alcohol and had lots of laughs and conversations with people.

We went to a yummy Friends-giving with Mindy, Scott and Aiden on a Sunday afternoon.  Before we ate we went outdoor iceskating at Brenton Skating Plaza.  I had never been before and it was wonderful, it didn't hurt that it was nearly 50 degrees outside:)  It was a lot of work and patience but eventually we all got up on skates and went around many times.
