Our First (and maybe last)Trick-or-TREATers

Our first trick-or-treaters have just arrived.  A scary witch, who is the spittin' image of mom and a very cute dinosaur......oh, yeah, and the wizard disguised as a dad.







What a happy witch....must be Glinda, the GOOD witch!

Let's start eating the good stuff!
This trick-or-treating is great!  Too bad I have to go home and go to bed by 7:30!  

Here comes another goblin to my door.......scary! I wonder who it could be.......






It was the ghoulish cheerleader girl who lives down the street! What did she do with my sweet Lily?

Our Trip to the Big City

Well, we finally made it to the big city to visit family in Seattle. Tom and Jessie moved to Ballard in May and this is the first time we've been to their place. Our first stop was to Aaron and Karen's for lunch........ and then we had to check out the new landscaping in front! You can actually see the house now. It looks great!
Then we headed over to Ballard with Lily and Victoria to check out Tom and Jessie's place. They have the biggest cat I've ever seen! This picture doesn't quite show how "HUGE" Fallon is. He's like a little stuffed bear. Very hairy.....


Tom lives right across from the Hiram S. Chittenden locks....(I wonder if Hiram is related to the Chittenden's in Carnation??) We walked out his front door, crossed the street and we were right there! In fact the name of their apartment complex is Lock Vista!

We enjoyed the beautiful gardens and the girls found lots of places to pose......




The boats that go through are pretty spectacular.....Pat and I kept thinking how expensive it must be to own and operate a boat......




Uncle Tom and his nieces check out a big boat that came through the locks.
Then we headed a couple blocks west to Golden Gardens and let the girls jump the waves for a few minutes....that's all it took for them to get wet! Good thing it was a nice fall day!
Our trip to the big city was very enjoyable and I know Lily was very glad to see her Uncle Tom!

Curran, Party of Four

We were invited to Chez Curran for a wonderful Sunday dinner. Greeting us at the door was Miss Liligan who had been preparing all afternoon for our lovely evening!

She seated us and then provided the menu for our perusal. We had the "special"!

It was a scrumptious, old-fashioned pot roast with onions, potatoes and carrots! It was the Sunday meal I had a lot when growing up. (it's one of my favorites)
Here are the satisfied customers.......


Dinner was followed by our choice of entertainment (found on the back of the menu). We opted for a rousing game of Memory even though our "server" was really trying to push the Monopoly game. Lily used to beat us at this game all the time when she was about 4 years old so I thought we were in for defeat! She must have inherited that great memory from her Mom, because it was Annie who really put us all to shame.... It's only a game, right??


It was a fun-filled, entertaining evening with two of our favorite people......(I think we have about 17 favorite people for those of you keeping score)! Getting ready to leave I noticed a sweet note on the refrigerator. Lily sure loves her sweet mama!
