Warm weather in NY!

This is the "New Song of the week" Artist Billy Currington! Hee hee, sorry guys, couldn't help it, he's HHHOT!!!! I like his singing too!

Nov. 7th is my Step-Father's birthday. Nov. 9th is my Husband's birthday! So Happy Birthday!

Sat. Glen and I got together with our friends and went out to eat at "Little Venice", Yum, very good food! There was so much, my leftovers the next night was just as large as what I had already eaten. Afterwards we went over to their house and had coffee and icecream. While we were there, Ashley called on my cell phone. She said "Mom! Where are you on a Sat. night at 10:15?" So, what does she exactly mean by that? Because we are her parents we do not go out, because we are old we do not go out, because she is so used to us "being there" we do not go out, because she thinks we are stuffy we do not go out? I have news for you... WE GO OUT! I told her "We are partying!" My friend Donya said something and Ashley yelled "You're with Donya! No fair!" Oh I get it now. Because we are without her, we do not "get" to go out. I see how it is. Let this be a tribute to parents around the world who need to go out without their kids! Thank you Ashley for helping us see the light! Parents, do it! Don't be old and stuffy, get your fat butts up off the couch and "go out"! (Hee Hee, good thing Ashley has a good sense of humor, since I am basically making fun of her.)

The weather her has been great! It has been 60's all week! It is so nice to get the kids outside to play. Yesterday we didn't even wear our coats.

I got a recognition award from the library the other day! It says -
Spotlight on Service
This certificate is awarded to Wendy Barrows
in recognition of her dedicated service to teens
at the Interlaken Public Library
from the Finger Lakes Library System
signed by the Exec. Director and the FLLS President
How nice! I do not take these awards lightly! I was thrilled! I am so glad to get any recognition for the work I do with the teens, it is nice to know that people notice and care!

Knitting - I am finishing the gloves I started to go with my hat, the purple ones. I will also be working on Christmas gifts.

Reading - my reading has been slow, don't know why, it hasn't been for lack of good books that is for sure. I am enjoying the one I am reading "Confessions of a Contractor" it is so funny. I am actually almost done. Not sure which one I will read next. I got alot of new books this past week, but also have alot of old ones I need to read.

My top 5 this week was inspired by Shelley from MI, she has a wonderful birding blog with really great pictures, you should check it out.

1. Chick-a-dee

3. Titmouse
4. Nuthatch
