Well here in the mountains, or just at the foot of the Blue Ridge mountains, we have had 4 days of rain and I mean monsoon rain. It's rained enough that the drought might be nonexistent. And now we are having sleet which they say will soon turn into snow, maybe 6 inches or more.

So what did I do? Well. I finished up my retirement teaching days this week (which I always stress out about until I have them done) and then headed to the local knitting store to find something new to knit. Now, it's not like I don't have any yarn or projects to work on, but the first snow of winter just called for a new project. I am going to work on the Clark Gable mitts. Don't you just love him! I figure if we get 6 inches or more of snow, I will tuck up with a cup of tea or a latte, probably both, knit on these mitts, and hopefully find a Clark Gable movie to watch.
Talking about movies, my hubby got me the Kindle Fire HD for Christmas this year, and I am in love. So far, I have watched most of season 1 of Dr. Who, read some books, and watched the movie Ghost Protocol, which stars Tom Cruise, and downloaded a word game called Jumble 2, where you unscramble the letters to form words all for free. Now granted you have to be a prime member to get these, but I am finding that is money well spent.
I guess that's all for now. We hope to get more stuff packed this week-end to get ready to move, again, but that all depends on the weather so I will let that be another entry.
