After having to postpone our family Halloween gathering from the Wednesday before due to rain, this past Wednesday everyone was here, except for Jenny, who had to work. It was the first time we’d all been together since before Covid, so it was just so much fun. We cooked hotdogs and somemores over the fire, and had sort of a Haunted Scavenger Hunt instead of going all out with a haunted trail or house this year, but it was still so much fun. Here are a couple of pictures I got of Jeff’s decorations during the daylight hours. They were still pretty creepy.

Last Saturday, on Halloween, for lunch Jeff & I had the jack-o-lantern pizzas I’d found at Aldi a couple of weeks before. How cute is this? The sauce was actually butternut puree, in keeping with the orange theme, and was actually pretty tasty 🙂

Last Thursday, I think it was, my friend Becky came over for a porch visit while she was in town helping with her grandbabies. She brought her mask to show me, and I was so excited. My old high school buddy Pat Palmer Thweatt is making masks now, & when looking on facebook at all of the fabric she had available, I noticed some that had Tennessee state parks on it, including Bays Mountain, very near where Becky and her husband Doug live. Even with growing up in Tennessee, I had never heard of that park until she mentioned it, so was so excited to see it on the fabric. I told her about it, she got in touch with Pat, and ordered her mask. I just loved seeing it. Social media at its best.
