A beautiful start to November, 2024. We had rain this morning, a nice soaking rain. It didn’t last very long, but gave quite a bit of water to the thirsty lawns and trees, plants and bushes. There were even a few puddles that the birds could bath in. Now, it is sunny with a few clouds hanging around. Right now, it is 68 degrees and the time is 4:13 p.m. The weatherman said that we might have a few showers between now and noon tomorrow. We shall see.

Tomorrow is the football game between Tennessee and Kentucky. It is a big game. One of the gentleman from Tennessee was telling about the differences between Tennessee Whiskey and Kentucky Whiskey. Also the difference between bourbon and whiskey. Bourbon is basically the highest grades of whiskey. And there are three kinds, one made with corn, one made with another made with a wheat,, and the third made with rye. He said the first one taste sort of sweet, like sweet corn. The other taste like toasted bread, and the rye one tastes like cinnamon toast. The tastes are very light. I hope I got that all correct. I haven’t been out taking taste tests so don’t really know that personally. It was interesting though. Back here one hears about Tennessee Whiskey and Kentucky Bourbon. I think I an more into the Tennessee Walking Horse and the Kentucky Race horse. They too, are mellow, soft and smooth.

Not much planned for the weekend. We should have the changing of the beds, the changing of the clocks, both on Saturday. We might put the Halloween stuff away and just enjoy the fall decorations. There isn’t a lot of Halloween stuff to put away as the best thing about Halloween is seeing the kids in their costumes. We had about 20 last evening. All was quiet by 8:00 p.m. I loved seeing the parents out with the kids, making sure they said, “Trick or Treat” and then “Thank You”. One little boy was dressed as a sailor and he was adorable. He was between 2 and 3, I would say. Also bashful. I thought that all moms with toddlers should wear skirts or dresses as it is hard for the little ones to hide their faces when mom has on leggings.

Sunday we will have church and hope that we don’t arrive an hour early. I believe we are greeters this Sunday. After that, who knows. No plans.
