So my coworker’s house burned down this weekend.
I’d seen it on the news and posted about it earlier.
He’s got some pictures up and a blog about it here
There is a benefit on Thursday at Dantes, and there is a Paypal button on the blog itself.
I’m going to donate what I can, and see if I can do a small fundraising project. They don’t need

Where there’s life, there hope
Every days a gift,

So hard all day…
October is fun. Prepping for halloween, decorating costuming and the sheer sugared frenzy that happens on 10/31.
I think November

It’s also a great time to invite friends
over. With the excitment of Autumnal foods, now is the perfect time for
a potluck. Bring a favorite casserole or chili, a few divine sweets and
you’re set. In November A Chili party is a grand idea, unlike March where Chili’s been on the rotation everywhere a couple of times.
What am I doing this November? Here are my ideas to start
