Blogger's being a pain, but everything else is, also. <BR/><BR/>Travel sounds great to me, too! I think Will enjoys geography but he has such a busy schedule that we have to nudge him to get those projects done and we often end up doing some part. I'm usually called upon to go digging for craft bits and pieces while the guys brainstorm, paint and glue. <BR/><BR/>Grilled cheddar and apple was a surprisingly good combination, especially on a good, handmade bread. We've visited the Zingerman's bakery and taken their tour - it's really something. They take great pride in kneading a certain number of times - everyone and everything is covered with flour and the employees are all ridiculously happy. They love what they do.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-1161343429409841732006-10-20T06:23:00.000-05:002006-10-20T06:23:00.000-05:00Hi again, bookfool!I'm no longer in the immunogene...Hi again, bookfool!<BR/><BR/>I'm no longer in the immunogenetics field, I switched to travel once I majored. There wasn't much scope for an immunogenetics major in India at that time, ofocurse, things are so different now.<BR/><BR/>My daughter's in grade 10 - she did geography last year and loved it, but this year she's taking more language courses. <BR/><BR/>Goodness, all this talk about sandwiches is sure making me hungry. I'm a sandwich girl - can eat one at every meal and never get bored. I love the thought of a grilled cheddar and apple sandwich, mmmmm!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-1161316401027725662006-10-19T22:53:00.000-05:002006-10-19T22:53:00.000-05:00It's much cooler, today, Bellezza.

I've spent most of this week in bed, trying to sleep the pain off. <BR/><BR/>I think my husband knows how much I appreciated that sandwich - I ooohed and aahed over it quite a bit. It was so good. He also made a grilled cheddar and apple sandwich for me for lunch. He said, "That's Australian cheddar and Michigan apples on Zingerman's bread." I made many appreciative noises. ;)Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-1161311670782501932006-10-19T21:34:00.000-05:002006-10-19T21:34:00.000-05:00I'm not in to Halloween either, but love Christmas...I'm not in to Halloween either, but love Christmas. Loved reading your 5 Wahoo!s. That sandwich from Ann Arbor sounds delicious. And what a thoughtful, thoughtful husband. Hope you made him say Wahoo! in return. Can't believe it's still 90 degrees. We're under two quilts at night and most of the leaves have blown off. Nothing makes me colder than naked trees.Bookloggedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00651016653247142255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-1161280686660634582006-10-19T12:58:00.000-05:002006-10-19T12:58:00.000-05:00Les,I'm the same - autumn is great; I could do wit...Les,<BR/><BR/>I'm the same - autumn is great; I could do without Halloween. It has always irritated me that there are so many holidays that now seem to center around candy. My kids came home with candy for both holidays and rewards, all the time, and I always wondered, "Why not give them privileges, instead?" My 5th-grade math teacher, for example, let those who finished early play math games. That makes more sense to me than handing out candy for doing well.<BR/><BR/>I think I got off the subject. <BR/><BR/>Wow, 28 degrees!! I'll be watching for frost pics! <BR/><BR/>David's a foodie, but I think it was incredibly sweet and amazing that he not only brought me a sandwich but also remembered which one I ate last time (and loved)!! Cool! Life without a real deli is not as fun, definitely.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-1161280234847412252006-10-19T12:50:00.000-05:002006-10-19T12:50:00.000-05:00Lotus,Immunogenetics?

Do you dislike what you're doing? <BR/><BR/>Will is in the 9th grade and he's taking honors geography, so he has some sort of project due almost every week. It's a one semester class and I think all of us will be happy when it's over, mostly because the teacher is a little too much of a "follow directions to the letter" person. A little creative leeway would be nice. <BR/><BR/>I don't know anything about Diwali- I'll have to look that up!! <BR/><BR/>Bellezza,<BR/><BR/>I'm really untraditional when it comes to holidays. Instead of piling up mums and scarecrows on a bale of hay, outside, like most people do, I have a ceramic leaf candleholder with fabric fall leaves scattered around it to celebrate autumn indoors. So, it just figures I'd have a jingle-bell snowflake rather than a wreath on my door! LOL<BR/><BR/>Angela,<BR/><BR/>Everyone seems to go all-out for Halloween, here. I noticed that even the police and fire stations, downtown, had elaborate decorations out front. Makes you wonder if the woman who runs the downtown events went out and decorated or the firefighters and police officers were bored one day. LOL <BR/><BR/>It's a Wonderful Life is one I can watch year-round, although I do usually save it for Christmas. I don't think I've ever seen White Christmas or Holiday Inn -- almost bought White Christmas last year, but I must have been at the point that I felt the spending had to stop.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-1161278792665029382006-10-19T12:26:00.000-05:002006-10-19T12:26:00.000-05:00I don't think my neighbors are impressed either. W...I don't think my neighbors are impressed either. We have a half dozen pumpkins on the porch steps, along with two yellow mums. That's it. No Halloween decor for me. I prefer to decorate for autumn. Neither Rod or I care much for Halloween. I'd almost rather go to a movie and skip the whole candy thing. Such a Scrooge!<BR/><BR/>Hey, we have an old set of sleigh bells that I used to hang on our front door, too. Need to get them repaired so I can start doing that again.<BR/><BR/>We had a very chilly night and morning. 28 with frost when I left for work today! The sun is shining now so I'll go for my walk and see if I can get any nice pics for my other blog.<BR/><BR/>Oh, one final comment! What a sweetie your husband is to bring you a sandwich from that deli. Oh, how I miss a good deli. Lincoln does not know how to make a real deli sandwich. We used to go to a wonderful Jewish deli in L.A. Almost makes me want to go back just for the food!Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-1161262970994475082006-10-19T08:02:00.000-05:002006-10-19T08:02:00.000-05:00My neighborhood goes crazy decorating at halloween...My neighborhood goes crazy decorating at halloween too.<BR/><BR/>And I can do Christmas movies or books ANY time of year... especially classics like White Christmas and Holiday Inn.Angela/SciFiChickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03207325369810773405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-1161256756887006982006-10-19T06:19:00.000-05:002006-10-19T06:19:00.000-05:00Bells on the doors are a great idea!

I guess we put on our doors what's most important to us.
