Spooky French Quarter balcony We are having a blast! We didn’t dress in costume last night but LOTS of others did. It was such fun seeing the amazing/creative/curious costumes.

The weather is absolutely perfect tonight so I spent the evening on the porch, hanging out with Shiloh and watching our dear friends, Debi and the Deacons, performing in New Orleans via webcam….
Happyland Volunteer Fire Department Fundraiser
Tonight was a fundraiser for the fire department David volunteers with. He’s out of town on business but I picked up our daughter and we went. It’s fall break which probably accounted for the lower than usual turnout but it was still good to visit with friends and neighbors. If you live in an area…
