Yoko Ono?

 This noon, on my down after changing, my son immediately said...

Jason: Mama, you look like John Lennon's wife with that look. You know, from the late 60s to the 70s?

Me: Yoko Ono?

Jason: No.

Me: Who?

((( Yoko Oh-yes! )))

8:09 a.m.

At that exact time, I got a notification on my Gmail. It was from our dear friends, and they're inviting us to hang out with them this coming Sunday at a brewery a couple of towns away. 

It has been months since we saw each other. The last was on our friend Jo's birthday. He treated us in August at Hootch and Banter in downtown Frederick.

Jay suggested a Saturday instead since we can't make it on that day, but sadly, they're also not available.

Bummer!

I was really looking forward to seeing them.

It was decided to move the get-together to December, after Thanksgiving weekend maybe. 

Over 3 Weeks

All of my online shops are closed starting now and will remain closed until the last week of November.

I'll open them back three days before Thanksgiving Day.

I haven't had this kind of a long break since 2013, when my sister-in-law gave birth to her youngest child in California. My two children and I flew to the West Coast before her due date.

Although I'd still be working for the whole duration, I just can't ship out sold items from where I will be staying. 

I am excited to take this break, though. 

I can't wait to tell you more about it.
