November 2010

November is my favorite month of the year for a variety of reasons.  First and foremost is Thanksgiving.  I LOVE Thanksgiving.  The food is fabulous and it's a low-pressure family gathering:  no gifts to give or get, just time to spend together.

I also love November as it's a relatively easy teaching month.  Because of Election Day, Veterans' Day and Thanksgiving nearly every week has a day off giving me ample time to read this month. I'm hoping to read a cornucopia of novels!
