We haven't been sick, but my computer sure has. I think it's been riddled with viruses for quite some time, but when the pornographic icons showed up on my desktop, it was time for action. I just got my computer back for the first time in a week. I've had serious withdrawal. I figured out that the computer is my "go-to" when I have to do something I don't want to do. So I ended up doing a lot of stuff I didn't want to do this past week. Welcome back, little computer!
Nineteen days 'til Thanksgiving, people! "Let the wild rumpus start!" You have about two weeks to get your grocery and Christmas shopping done in peace. Then...every man for himself. You've been warned.
This year's been a tough one for The Stanfords, economically and otherwise. But the funny thing about tough times is that they make you even more grateful for the blessings you do have, which brings us to this month's playlist...
This month's playlist has a lot of repeats from last year. I still love Diana Krall's "Count Your Blessings Instead of Sheep" and Copland's "Hoedown", and no November playlist would be complete without "Turkey In The Straw".
My favorite addition to this year's Thanksgiving playlist is "Doxology" by the Michael Gungor Band. What a cool version of one of my favorite hymns! You'll also find a wonderful jazz version of "Ode To Joy" (another favorite hymn) by Brian Bromberg. There's even a Thanksgiving song on here by Don Henley. Hmmm, who knew?
Enjoy the advent of this most wonderful holiday season. Be blessed and be a blessing!
... the actual quote is, Let the wild rumpus begin!
(I knew you would want to know!)
Love you - have a great Sunday.

Welcome back! Actually started my Thanksgiving shopping today. Just the general staples that will keep that long. Hosting this year. Woot! Can't wait!
