Break time!

Dave and I have taken a little break from work.

My office had Friday off as a holiday, and I took a vacation day for Monday.  Dave took vacation Friday and Monday, too.

We went to a John Hiatt concert on Thursday night, and enjoyed it completely, as expected.  He's one of my musical heroes.

It was just him and his guitar on the stage, in a small room that was not filled to capacity.  It was held at a "casino resort" about 45 minutes away from home.

We got a room and stayed the night, using money we had saved up for the occasion.

Came home before noon on Friday, and got all of the errands done.  We were thinking that the stores would not be crowded, but BOY were we wrong.  Apparently, MANY MANY people had Friday off.

Yesterday, we attended a peaceful rally at the park, showing our support for people who feel threatened by the outcome of the election.

Then, Dave did his dad's shopping while I did stuff that I needed to do at home.

Last night, dinner at Rebecca and Allen's.

Today, we will take our walk at the one nature park in town, and stop quickly at the workplace of my young friend Abby to drop something off for her.

Then home for the rest of the day and evening, with hopes of getting our guitars dusted off, having been inspired by Mr. Hiatt.

There will be cooking projects today and tomorrow.

This is also the full moon that marks the occasion of "Summer's End" in the lunar pagan tradition.  We will honor that phase of the year somehow as well.

I took my last chemo pill on Wednesday, and am off of it for a week.  The next round starts next Thursday.

I am still only experiencing mouth issues so far, for the most part.

Next Thursday is also my injection day and doctor visit.

Starting to gather my thoughts for our Thanksgiving celebration as well.  One of my very favorite things of the year!!
