Trip to CA










A few weeks ago I went to visit Audrey (Wright) Stansbury in California. She is pregnant for the first time so congrats Audge!! Mary Helen (Audrey's Mom) also came out for the visit and we had a very fun girls weekend complete with great food, wine, bad chick flick, shopping, walks, coffee and bagels and even High Tea at the Trump National Golf Club. What a beautiful drive to and from High Tea - we even saw the whales migrating. Was a great weekend, thank you ladies! I also got a chance to see my dear friend Theodore who is doing great in LA. He blew out my hair for old time sake and then we ate lunch at Lemonade - what a great place!

Trick or Treat!







Wow, what a night. We handed out over 600 pieces of candy. We live on the main drag through our neighborhood, Ormewood Park, and it was so busy!! The kids went out for about an hour and came back with a bag full of candy, then with their friends Connor, Alary, Kenneth, Frederick and Joe, they watched It's a Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown while the adults handed out candy. There were three of us at one time dropping the candy in bags, they came in packs! It was lots of fun although it was rainy and a bit cold, but that sure didn't stop the Trick or Treaters. After we were out of candy and the lights were turned off, they were still knocking at the door! Here are a few pix, Aidan was the 501st Clone Trooper from Star Wars and McKenna was a "plain ol witch". The other pix are from Friday when they wore some festive attire to school (not sure why, but Aidan was fascinated with a light switch that Rich took out).
And it was hard to get a picture, but I tried to get one of the house with all the lights - we had the crashing witch again this year which was again a big hit!
