Halloween - office style.....

Today was our Halloween party at work. We had a costume contest and a pumpkin carving contest. We had more participation this year than ever before. Here are a few pictures of the festivities.






The "Puking Pmpkin to the left is the one our unit did. We tied for 3rd place.

This, obviously, is me. The teeth really make the costume, don't you think?????

Fun with the Grandgirls...

Last weekend Jim, Alyson, Lily and Grace came for a visit. We went to the zoo on a blustery, but fairly warm, October day.

Here is a picture of Lily feeding a very eager goat.

Here is Alyson, Grace and Geezer muggin' for the camera.


The weather on Saturday was very rainy, so we spent most of the day inside playing with the girls.

I am loving on Miss Grace. She is so sweet and so quick to smile.

Geezer is making Grace giggle.


Lily enjoyed playing with the Fisher Price Farm and House. These are the very ones her mom and aunt played with about 30 years ago. Hooray for quality toys!!!

We had a wonderful weekend with the kids and can't wait to see them again soon.

The perils of fishing...

A couple of weekends ago, Shyla and Clay came up for the guys to hit the river and slay some trout. Well......check out the pictures. As you can see, fishing in the wind poses some unique hazards. Bruce has always teased about wanting to pierce his ear - I don't think this is what he meant.



The fun part was me trying to pull it out. Bruce said it didn't hurt, but I beg to differ. It hurt me quite a bit.

And now I leave you with an appropriate quote.....

"The fishing was good; it was the catching that was bad." ~A.K. Best
