I love November because it’s usually feels like the pace slows down a bit before the holidays go full speed. November was good! Assembling posts like this helps me remember that and keeps my head in the right place (or closer at least).
Take a look or scroll on- I won’t be mad either way.

I like when you say that posting photos help you remember that you had a good time. One question: why you never mention the dog? He should be treated like a VIP 😁
Haha yes! Thanks Cristiana! The dog is really sweet. Her name is Willow. She’s my daughter Ally’s dog- she usually tags along when they visit from Maryland. I’m not sure why I didn’t put her name in there🤦🏼♂️ but I’ll go back and fix it. She’s a nice pup!
Yes- I think it’s good to have things to do- unless things get out of control, which they tend to get close to doing around the holidays- but I like all that holiday stuff too. When January comes I’ll hibernate like a bear 😁
I love all the photos. So much goodness (except the election result, of course). Family, hiking, gigging and libraries! But my absolute favorite is the empty train – what a stunning pic!

Looks like a busy November. Does that mean a slower December Todd? Ha, ha. It’s good to be on the go, right?

Thanks Wynne! I like that empty train pic too. The old cars are so cool looking but it’s hard to notice when they’re so filled up much of the time.

Ummmmm…..these are FABULOUS. And I don’t know if you did it on purpose, but the placement of “spaced out Todd” seemed perfect. You have been busy! 😜🥰😜

Thanks Victoria! Unfortunately, spaced out Todd appears often and without any planning or consent. 😅

Maybe that’s why I like him…the pic. A good companion to ‘spaced out Vicki’! LOL! 😜
