How time flies.

I just realized its been about a month since my last post here.  Not intentional to let so much time pass, sometimes it just happens.

I'm still waiting for my home to sell, which is nerve racking as the time gets closer to the holidays.  Between trying to keep up the appearance of constant house cleaning, and trying to keep and eye on the market if it does sell, its quite tiring both mentally and physically.   Obviously now is not a great season to sell a house, however we don't always have total control.

My daughter celebrated her 19th birthday last week, the first one away from home.  It was very weird as a parent to not share that day with your child.  We sent an edible fruit bouquet to her dance classes, with birthday balloons, and her friends went out with her for dinner and desert.  In the meantime, she has found new digs to move to after Thanksgiving.  So she'll be saying goodbye to the flop house, and hello to the challenge of moving in the city without a car.  I believe she will be much happier in the new place, she will have her own bedroom, and the girls all speak English. As you may remember her so far she's had a Korean roommate who had very little English language skills, and currently has a roommate from Turkey. This girl has better command of the language, but long conversations are still difficult.
In 2 days she will be coming homing to celebrate Thanksgiving.  Last year she was in the local Macy's parade on black Friday, and we spent all of the day downtown, this year that's not happening.

Well this is just a quickie.  I will post some more in the next day or two. 
Oh yes we have Snow!  Snow before Thanksgiving, is quite uncommon in Seattle overall, and to occur before the Thanksgiving holiday is even rarer.
