Dog Beach

While Gregory and Karen were here we went for a walk on the "Dog Beach" an area where dogs are allowed as long as they are on a leash. Melissa keeps Loki on a llllllllooooonnnnggggggggg leash. It was a beautiful day so the dogs went for a swim .

We also saw a Gopher Tortoise, which I believe is endangered, since every time someone digs one up in an area were they are doing development there is a story in the newspaper.

St Paul's Halloween Party

Glenda, the Good Witch

The children line up for the parade. If you have not figured out by now halloween is a big deal here in Florida....

 

Finally ---the party is Over

We ended the party with a game of Musical chairs. This is Karen's creation for Paige.....I am not sure exactly what it is---but paige seems to enjoy it. Karen does some face painting.

More Party

Emma tries bobbing for apples. Paige really knows how to sink her teeth into it.

Halloween Party

Made in back Sunday in time for the girls party, also Gregory and Karen arrive for a long visit! This ghoul is having a good time Sailor dunks for apples. Making taffy Apples was fun, but messy. 

Girl Road Trip

The ladies in the Book Club went to Mt Dora for the weekend. It was great! We had so much fun, shopping, tailgating, and eating. We just spread our blanket out and had a little impromptu picnic. Later in the room we had a little cocktail before dinner.  

My Birthday

Stephanie was in town so we met her for my birthday dinner. Before we did that we went for a walk along the beach outside her room. I chose the spot a "Fish Shack" and it was yummy.  

Return to Florida

Melissa is getting in a few laps with Boda before it gets too cool. Dick was here this week-end for my Birthday. We took the girls to search for Pumpkins. I believe they reaally enjoyed the moon bounce more than the search. we did come home with 3 good-size pumpkins.  

The Day After 9/24/06

We had Brunch at the Maryland Inn the next morning. Courtney and Haley drop by for a visit. Our good friends Randall & Dorothy were able to come , along with Barbara (Dick's sister) and John. I must say the Bride and Groom look very chipper for the long hours they have been keeping this week.
