Happy November 1st!

I assume that we all survived Halloween and are feeling happy or anxious as we launch this new month and race toward the holiday season.I am sure many have made detailed plans for celebrations and just as many are "winging it."
It is a quiet day here near Ayers Lake. I have put off my fitness walk until it warms up a bit, but should get moving now that it is almost 40 degrees. (More coffee please!)
It is a ping pong day too so will exercise mind and body for about two hours this afternoon.
Any big plans in your life for today? How about those onrushing holidays?
Happy? Anxious? Maybe just a day at a time?
Have a great November 1 in any case!

It is interesting that Oregon grows more hazelnuts than any where except Turkey. Turkey had such a big crop that prices are down this year. I eat some roasted nuts of various kinds each day.

@JamesHxstatic Turkey is a great hazelnuts producer, but the quality of those that grow in the Italian region of Piedmont are a lot better, bigger and tastier. The wild ones I picked up are small, but very good.

It is good that you were not subject to a big storm this year. Puerto Rico is still reeling I know.

I can't believe this year is going by fast. I have some errands to run today.

Truly, the time is fleeting! I raced to the store right before my ping pong games.

Crazy how fast this year is flying by. I'm already thinking about the holidays but since I love Thanksgiving and Christmas it's all good

Good for you! I know many people plan early. We are not sure what is happening yet.

I have too many books on hand at home to make it to the library, but did errands and played ping pong for two hours.

I had plans for today but my body had other ideas, so I am doing very little. I have to wash dishes and should make a phone call and that's about it.
I am ready for the winter holidays! I never make detailed plans but at least I can start planning in earnest now.

I got my two mile walk in about 11 PM then had lunch, went to Trader Joes' and played ping after that.

We have had some nice sunny days up until now, but the rain was heavy today. I see that your New Year Celebration will be on February 16th in 2018.

So butternut squash is pumpkin in Australia? Are there pumpkins too? Do you have acorn or spaghetti squash there?

@JudyEv Okay, thanks, I guess it could be nomenclature.

No plans to make for the holidays here. As we just make a simple Thanksgiving dinner for the three of us, and my uncle and our family friend. Then put up the Christmas that night. For Christmas we just open what gifts we have in the morning then make roast beef or lasagna for dinner. nothing big, nothing fancy, no going out.
but am excited for both holidays, and to get the year over with.

Those meals are always difficult for us. My daughter is a vegetarian and that requires two meals or going out.

@JamesHxstatic that stinks, but as a picky eater, i understand.
We have always had simple dinner, same things every year.

Just got off the golf course. Trying to get as many rounds in before it really gets cold here in NJ.

Happy November 1st to you too! I'm a little anxious because this year is moving fast and so is everything else. But excited to see what's to come! I had a productive day, wish there was less traffic though.

My wife and I were just talking about how time is fleeting. I have read that after 30, your metabolism changes and time goes by faster and faster. At my age it is the jet age.

That sounds like your theme was pretty scary. Too bad you lost.
