How have you all been?

November is almost gone and

I haven't had a chance to blog

as I wished I would.  Sigh.

It's been a bit nutty here.

After a ridiculously extended search

we finally found a new place

to live.  We move on Sunday.

We're looking forward to

the new adventures.

We'll be in another Austin

neighborhood so it

will seem like a bit of 

a new world.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch,

Scout is enjoying dance and

her holiday show rehearsals.

And guess what?

She had her first ever test.

In her life.

In her ASL class.

She earned a 97% and

a certificate.  She will

begin 201 in January.

And she is participating

in NaNoWriMo

{National Novel Writing Month}

and she's on task!  

Yes, ladies and gents,

I am telling you that

Scout has written 

40,000 WORDS.

She's well on her way to 

the monthly goal of 50,000.

Quite an achievement

for a 16 year old.

I need to remind you all

that even though we will

be moving on Sunday,

it is the third annual

FLANNEL DAY!

Be sure to celebrate.

Never heard of Flannel Day?

Well now, my friends ...

You can read all about it here:

I invent flannel day

and please spread the flannel love.

I have been creating

a number of recycled

bookmarks ~ some

corner bookmarks like

the one featured in this post.

To see more please

take a stroll through

my joonwalk shop

which you can access on the right

side of my blog.  --->

I have also made a new

batch of Peanuts Gang

themed pinbacks and magnets.

They're such fun and

seem to be popular with

my joonbeam etsy shoppers.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone.

Thank you for stopping by

and sharing a bit of this

life across the internet

universe.

I will write from our

new house next time.

Until then,

here's to pumpkin pie.

~ Flannel Day ~

The Traditional Holiday Begins...

Thanks to Jon Cody, who made his own gorgeous bagels and sent us a glorious photo and the recipe, look how we celebrated the First Ever Flannel Day! Evan outdid himself. The only thing better is when Jon Cody, Val and Dusty come in February and we make another batch all together! I love that I have a 25 year old son who teaches himself how to make bagels. His can be seen HERE. Until next time... ox joon

PS. Oh, I invented Flannel Day today and it will be an annual holiday falling on the Sunday after Thanksgiving. Such fun! Wear flannel. Get cozy (in flannel). Eat comfort foods (in flannel). Be a homebody (in flannel). Shop from home (in flannel). Bake (in flannel). Read (in flannel). Build a fire (in flannel). Watch a favorite movie (in flannel). Watch a cheesy holiday classic (in flannel). Your turn...add some Flannel Day Favs for us in the comments section. Go Flannel!
