Hanukkah, too. I bought a mini-menorah. And some dreidels for my seminary class. And some chocolate coins, too (though I haven't learned yet what they have to do with Hanukkah). Since I'm teaching the Old Testament I'm really feeling the desire to get into Jewish holidays. My seminary class will not be getting a gift every day for 8 days, however...hmm. I might rethink that. Their last gift can be a Christmas tree ornament. I like it.
Back to November, we've had some snow, for which we are very grateful.

Alex and Thomas had their tennis banquet to end the season.
Hannah started working at the movie theater and says she now hates popcorn--a previous love--since she has to sweep so much of it up. But she's happy to be employed.
Glen's students put on the play Our Town. It was excellent (even if the photo isn't)

On Sunday at church, the Bishop invited us to join him in a challenge he had for the ward. He wants us to pretend that there has been some kind of emergency and that the store's shelves are bare. We are to try and live this week without grocery shopping.
Hannah and I just turned to each other and smiled. We live on a dairy. Milk will not be a problem since it looks like we don't have to pretend the cows are dead. Maybe the next time, the Bishop will cover that area, but for this go-round, we have milk. I had just bought 3 loaves of bread on Saturday (though I do have the ingredients to make bread if needed). We are set.
We do have the missionaries coming over for dinner on Tuesday, so I guess no fresh salad for them. Or ice cream on Eric's birthday on Friday...but we have a plan for that. We will make frozen yogurt and have that instead of ice cream. It almost seems too easy.
But I know it's not a game and preparedness is important.This will help us think about it more. With all that goes on in the nation and the world, we could use a little more preparedness.
