wow! today is november first. just think...two more months and we will be in 2008. christmas is 56 days away, so in essence, we have 55 shopping days left. ouch! maybe i'll just wait until the 12 days of christmas to begin (and finish) ours.

anywho, last night was our annual harvest festival which was held at the kootenai fairgrounds. the doors were opened at around 3:30 in the afternoon and the community was welcome to come and have a good time with free candy and fun. there was a small charge on food which consisted of corndogs, hot dogs, gut busters, cotton candy, popcorn and caramel apple wedges. that's where our 500 apples that we got from greenbluff came in.

now that november is here, we get an extra hour of sleep on saturday night. don't forget to set your clocks an hour back. we also have 21 days until thanksgiving. mmmm, turkey, potatoes, etc. does this mean that the holiday season is upon us?
