Hello Carol - this week's outside feature title intrigues me.  Will it be serious in its approach or take a humorous route?  I look forward to taking a look and discovering.

Hi Michael Jacobs 
The title intrigued me, so I thought it might stir your curiosity as well.

Carol, goodness, sure can tell I am on vacation, haven't read one of these, and now off to go for a walk in the nature preserve with  my friends, so probably won't happen either.

I'm going to spend December in Yuma at the Westwind RV Resort. A gal I met in Kansas City on my trip last year is there so we're meeting up for some golf. Then heading up to Palm Springs for a couple of weeks. Then over to Phoenix for a couple of weeks or so. Not sure after that. It depends on how my SIL is doing while I'm away.

Carol Williams that sounds like fun, and glad you can golf again.

Thank you, Miss Carol, for including my post. I think that's the last one for the Challenge. I have run out of "writing juices" for this month. Imagine that? But I am glad to see other November Challenge posts are still going strong! Thanks to you!

Good morning Aura Alex 
I know what you mean about running out of writing juice. I've kind of been that way for a while now. I can't miss out on the Challenge posts this month, though. Not expressing gratitude for my many blessings would sacrilegious.

It's a fun time at the Banana house, with all the beautiful decorations. I probably won't even put out my nutcrackers this year because I'm leaving Friday.
