Happy Halloween!

BOO! Well, it sure has been a while. Busy summer, busier autumn, as always. Recap... *shot photos for a CD (that you all should check out BTW...) *Mountain Jam *Gathering Of The Vibes *4th of July in Washington DC with our oldest daughter which in itself was another "trip of a lifetime" since it was the first trip she and I ever took solo...just us girls *pretty much got the Etsy site up and running...slow to make money, but keeping me in supplies *did the same for hubby *lost Aunt Pauline,our last doggeh, and our friend Vito :( *kids came home from Italy and had a blast teaching our granddaughter RieLy about "Merica" *renewed our vows for our 25th anniversary. bastards put 18th on our cake. (I know you volunteered, but we paid for the cake and people really ought to respect other people's wishes if they volunteer to do a job. the first 7 years we lived together were the toughest and they counted but they just totally ran over the whole premise for the party. NOT something I'm likely to forget) *had a family reunion with all the in/laws from Iowa...they came out to the art show, anniversary party *went back to DC with the husbands this time and had yet ANOTHER family reunion with my "other daughter" Angela and her USMC husband. The two sons/law met for the first time and the girls got to spend time together since Angela (who is expecting in April) couldn't make it all the way up here. They hadn't seen each other since Christmas 2001 *and in the middle of all that, I hit the 5 Years Smoke Free mark...YAY!!!! me!!!!! Now I'm gearing up for the holidaze, new jobs, Thanksgiving & Christmas parties, and today is Halloween! Seeing that we escaped (Thank Howard) Hurricane Sandy's wrath and last year's snowstorm cancelled trick or treats for the kiddies... I'm about to go get my freak(ier than usual) on! Be safe & see you all soon!!
