While it hasn’t officially been a month since I hit the big 5-9, I have been trying new things. Starting slowly, it seems, but planning to build as time goes on. Took a quick trip over the Thanksgiving break to visit my aunt and uncle in Florida and had a great visit. Had never been there to visit them before, so that’s my new trip for the month. Made a stop at the Buc-Ees on the way and picked up some treats for them. My aunt and I looked at scrapbooks she’s put together on the family and that was wonderful. Saw pictures of people I’d never seen and enjoyed learning more family history. Also got to meet my cousin’s children for the first time, though I’ve followed their antics on Facebook all their lives. Sweet kids and enjoyed the visit!
The drive to and from the middle of Florida was mostly unremarkable except for the traffic on I-75 on the way down. On the way back I stopped for gas and snacks and the woman behind the counter — I swear — had only two teeth. That was new! Not exactly the kind of new experience I am looking for, but I figure just be on the lookout for anything new and you’ll find it. Ha!
Instead I spent my Thanksgiving quietly, recovering from the drive and then re-arranging the living room for the Christmas tree and getting the decorations up. Working on a new wreath to go with it all this year. It’s also the beginning of Baking Season for me, so that should keep me busy. The excitement level is really rising.
New adventures continue as much as possible, going to new restaurants and trying new dishes at familiar places. Trying to find a pottery class that’s open when I can attend and looking at some new Christmas parades or experiences in the area for this month’s adventures. May the month bring you new adventures and lots of joy!
