End Of Another Season

Fall has come and gone. If you took a hard look at the weather around these parts, fall never really stayed long. Summer extended her stay well into October, and then old man winter got to the party very early and blew in very cold temperatures by the beginning of November.

This is really quite a shame since Fall is my favorite season of all. But, the Shipley family did get to do some wonderful things together. Gracie and I accomplished most of our fall wish list, and I am proud to say there were only a few things we didn't get done!

I have had this fall list on the left hand side of the blog since September, but for those who didn't notice, I thought I would share our accomplishments.
