Halloween came and went........

Only two rings on my doorbell, com'on kids!!!! Really?!?!
Oh well.

W comes back tomorrow night from her vacation..... time to clean!!! HA!!! 
It's not too bad.

My vacation to Vegas is coming up in Dec with my folks. It's always nice to spend time with them. We're going to do new things together.
I proposed going to Vegas right before Christmas next year and take my sister and the two oldest nieces..... So I can take them to the haunted houses in Vegas 
It looks like my sister is going to say yes. That's very exciting. A big family vacation, something that hasn't happened.... well, ever. The oldest will be a senior in High School then, so I'm framing it as her senior year trip. I'll be inviting W to go, don't have any expectation she will go, especially with that much of my family, and it overlaps with her Christmas trip to her mom's. We'll see.
I'll be turning 50 next year (oh no!!!!)..... and I was thinking "this is a milestone, what are you going to do?". My answer was "it's just another year, I can't think of anything". Well, that bothered me. The old me would just let it go, but not this time. I'm not getting any younger, so I thought about it... and it popped into my head "Israel". Ohhhhhh now you're talking!!! So I've started saving for spring 2028. That is a bucket list trip, so I better bucket it up and go. 
Would W go...... no idea. Would my parents like to go - they would, but it's expensive, and they are getting pretty slow. Going to see how that evolves. Plenty of time.

Well, another month comes and goes, soon it will be Thanksgiving, and then Christmas, and then 2027. Whew..... where does it all go? 
Life is good, and it is an adventure to live. Gotta take the scenic route.
