A few years ago, my district started taking furlough days in the form of a week off at Thanksgiving. The fact that we got a whole week in November eased the pain of the pay cut somewhat. In fact, even though we've gotten our furlough days back, we voted to tack them on to the end, rather than give up the Thanksgiving break. I enjoy having this time to go visit Hannah and Eliza, especially since the DC area is full of great things to do and see.
Friday we bundled up and took the mile walk to the National Botanical Gardens - then went to Good Stuff for burgers and pizza afterwards. It was a great walk, a great show, and a great meal!! Doesn't get much better than that.
Miss Rhoda was snug and warm and didn't make a peep. What fun it was to be together and enjoy the season.
Even though I have to go to school in the morning, I have some happy memories to console me - and the Christmas break to look forward to!!
Happy First Day of Advent to you all!
