Mmmmm, it smells like Christmas!

It's been unseasonably cool and rainy here today, so I hunted out a "cinnamon roll" candle and lit it. It didn't just smell like fall, it smelled like Christmas!

A little early shopping

Which reminds me, I renewed gift subscriptions for my mom, my mother-in-law and my daughter. I do this every year as part of their Christmas gifts.

Instead of an order

When I received an invitation from my little neighbor's school to buy magazines, I declined. Instead, I took her a check for a donation to her school. The school will get all of that money, and I don't have another magazine subscription that I don't want.
