I heard my first "holiday" commercial!

So I guess its time to start thinking about the holidays again!

• Halloween-There are still some trick or treating that goes on during this time but not as much
  

• Thansgiving - this is mostly going to involve shopping - especially the turkey. I was so glad I did my "Thanksgiving" shopping early enough to avoid the crowds and I plan to do the same thing this year!
  

• Christmas - the same thing about the shopping applies here as well! I don't start putting up decorations until the 2nd week of December. But I definitely want to avoid the crowds by shopping early.

The Wind is howling.....

I can hear it just outside my window. The temperature is supposed to go down to the 40's tonight! It's getting quite chilly and I can hear the leaves ruffling along the street. We have a lot of trees here which means that we have a lot of leaves as well.

One of the nice things about this area is that they provide leaf pickups - two loose leaf pickups and two bagged leaves pickups.

Chats?

I got this email

>>I just wanted to know if you're from Cheltenham in the UK or if you're from Cheltenham Township in PA like me? It never occurred to me to add chat capabilities but it doesn't sound like a bad ideal.<<

Actually adding chat capabilities doesn't sound like a bad idea. Since I do moderate a LaMott mailing list on Yahoo that also gives chat capabilities as well. The chats could be both on a regular schedule as well as impromptu chats as well.

Local Transportation

We have our own little local transportation bus for the Cheltenham area. I just remembered it today when I saw it stop at the Supemarket. It only runs Mondays thru Fridays but its still a good thing to have. I think seniors ride for free but residents can use it (which I hope to soon) also by paying the fare - which is $3 per trip. I have find out more about it.

I spoke with one of the drivers - he was very nice.

Comments!

I hpe that it doesn't get to the point where I forget about this blog and then there are like huge gaps between time entries. There's so much to do on the computer. I'll be like surfing around and find a real interesting page and have to investigate further. Then there's chats and email that I should catch up on and the time just goes by so fast!
