 Thanksgiving is next week.  I hope you all have a big dinner planned with loved ones.  Lots of delicious food. Lots of calories and carbs. 

If you are intermittent fasting as I am, this will have to be a day to skip.  You can always fast the day before or the day after. Don't see how you can miss turkey day.

That means it is one month to Christmas.  I always purchase a Jacquie Lawson Advent Calendar for the holidays.  It is fun doing the activities each day up until Christmas Day.

I am past the "what am I going to get for Christmas." I don't need anything so it is just the fellowship that I love.

I have ten non-fiction books available on Amazon.  They are about healthy living, gardening, art, and history. Look them over and see if there is one that would interest you. They are in e-book, paperback, and audible. If you read one, please leave a review. That will help my books move up in rank.

My goal is to write a fiction mystery.  I have an outline and am working on the content. This is more challenging than non-fiction.

Tell your friends about my books.  That is the best form of advertising I can get.

Speaking of telling friends, there is a book by Rodolfo del Toro called "Chasing Rabies" that I highly recommend.  It is about a doctor in med school.  It is an awesome story and you will be glad you read it. You may have to read it twice.

Have a happy Thanksgiving!

We are halfway through November.  I don't remember a year going by so fast. Course I have been home  this year writing books, doing what I love.  I suppose that is the reason.

I have a couple more books out.  Battles Across Borders and The Art of Capturing Souls.  I just got them on Amazon.  They will be on Audible soon.  My pen name is Norah Halstead in case you missed that.

It has cooled off.  Winter is here.  The flowers have died, and the garden is done.  There were a few peppers that were damaged before I got them in. I brought the tender plants in.  They are on the dining room table.  I wasn't using it anyhow.

My dog, Belle, has gotten old.  She was 15 years old this month. I worked away from home the first 14 years of her life so she was alone 75% of the time.  I think she has done well in the obedience department considering.  She is a Maltese and a smart dog. She has picked up so much just watching me. She sleeps a lot now.

I wish I could sleep more.  I got up at 5am for so long that I am still getting up at that time.  I have been known to fall asleep during the early afternoon for a short nap. I can only look at the computer screen for so long.

I have a new neighbor who has an Australian Shepherd. He is an active little guy.  She has to keep him entertained. He is cute and smart and not friendly to Belle.  She wants to be friends but he scares her. He needs to be on a farm with a job to do.

My friend in Texas had an operation on his arm earlier this week. I guess he had a nerve that was pinched near his elbow but was affecting the use of his hand, so he had surgery.  He is in really bad pain. He was told it would take a year to heal. Nerve pain is very painful. I feel so bad for him.

Go online and get my books.  There are 10 of them and you can read them all for free.  Please leave a review.  Reviews are important.

Take care of yourselves and God bless you in your endeavors.
