We have been keeping busy working on updating Peter's "Your Tax Matters Partner" blog. He is consolidating his posts from Forbes.com, and two other blogs he has. He has over 2,000 posts since he started in 2010. And we needed to check to see if they were all there, had the proper category, tags, publishing dates, and images. Slow going, but it needed to be done.
Election day came and went. Peter managed to watch the proceedings until midnight, I could only check in periodically throughout the day and evening.
Nov 6th was Mom's birthday - born 11/6/1919, she would have been 101 years old. She is in our hearts always.
Nov 7th - today was a beautiful 74 degree, sunny day. Perfect for going on a day trip for our daily hike. We decided to go to Henry David Thoreau's Walden Pond in Concord, MA. I had never been there. It is s State Park, and has a 1.7 mile hiking trail around the lake. It takes you over to the location of Thoreau's cabin, and has side trails down to the beaches that are all around the pond. There is a reconstructed cabin by the parking area, that shows what Thoreau's cabin looked like, but at the actual site, there are just some plaques. I was AMAZED to see how many people were sun bathing on the beaches and SWIMMING in the lake. Some had wet suits on, but many didn't. There were also lots of paddle boats. And this is the first week of November, and we had 5 inches of snow last week! Fortunately, everyone walking the trails had masks on, and people kept their distance. We took a scenic ride home, so it was a very enjoyable day, which gave us a break from staying at home all the time.
