Germs Strike Again
We are all safely back in Strasburg after a wonderful week in Lynchburg with Grandma, Grandpa and Mariah...but cold germs have struck the Shipley home yet again. Gracie woke up with a cold Monday morning, and by Wednesday I was feeling like death! I still have a stuffy head today, but Gracie is doing well.
Election Day for Garren seemed to go well. Election Day is kind of like Christmas for him. He's such a political junkie, plus this was his first election as the political reporter. He stayed at the office until midnight that night and smoked his twice annual cigar on the ride home. I am proud to say that Garren stayed on top of the election and the candidates through out the political season, and had really made a name for himself. Oh, and if you didn't vote Tuesday, don't tell Garren!! He would be terribly disappointed in you :)
We are starting preparations for Thanksgiving already. It looks like his parents, his brother and my parents will all be joining us here in Strasburg this year. It should be fun, and Gracie will enjoy being doted on by two sets of grandparents and an uncle!
Other than that not much going on here. We have gotten the apartment ready for winter and I am slowly accepting that Christmas is almost here. I guess we will have to dig the decorations and Christmas cards out soon--but not until after Thanksgiving!! One holiday at a time.
