Kim, welcome!

As I was reading through, I realized I join this challenge in October every year except last year. Not on purpose, it just works out that way. Fall/winter is a good time to tackle the doorstoppers!

Yes! It sure is, Bonita...I think because we are getting ready to go into the winter months. Won't be long, I'll be wanting to hibernate. Lol.
