Wayfaring Day 154 - End of November + $Summary

November 30, 2025 Sunday

Today is the last day of November and that means doing the math. At the end of this post we will have the financial details for the month of November which we fear was a poor month.

We made it to church this morning with Amy’s dad and bonus mom. Afterwards we had lunch with them at a quick service place. The rest of the afternoon was spent cleaning up and reorganizing. Most of that reorganizing had to do with our moving into David’s brother’s house in July. We needed to find some of winter clothes and unpack a few things that had been in boxes since the move.

In the evening we went over to a friends and visited with them a couple of hours. There were, of course, several phone conversations with family during the afternoon and evening as well. After an uneventful evening we made it to bed by about midnight.

A note on Wayfaring cruising:

Cruising may not be the inexpensive way to go. We talked to people on the cruise who do not take any excursions or add any other expenses to their trip. That’s the best way to go if you are wayfaring on a budget. Hopefully we will do better on our transatlantic cruise. Presently we have no excursions from the cruise ship. We do have a couple of tours scheduled during the stay in Barcelona.

DECEMBER WILL BE BETTER!
