Happy Halloween 2019

When Sofia was two all she wanted to be for Halloween was a gorilla. Now that she is four she went through a series of Disney characters and finally chose Princess Jasmine. Wish I could be with her tomorrow. She's excited about trick or treating though I feel she'd be a lot less chilly in that gorillas outfit!

 And then there's this Halloween memory:

 There once long ago was an actress named Carmen Miranda. As a child I would marvel at her costumes and these big headdresses made of fruit and flowers.She wore colorful outfits and tons of jewelry. She was full of life and would dance and sing so joyfully. I wanted to be her and so I was on several Halloweens. I also dressed my girls as her even though most people had never known who they were supposed to be. I'm going to have to bring that headdress back for Sofia one of these years.

Sunrise at the Boadwalk

On the morning of October 26th Sherri and I walked on the boardwalk on the Peninsula to watch the sunrise. It was beautiful to be on the beach in the early morning hours. So peaceful. We then worked on the jigsaw puzzle and Sherri's daughter Haley and grand-daughter Magnolia dropped by so we all walked over to the bay to play in the water. A great morning.

Girl's Night In at the Beach House

On Wednesday October 25th  I enjoyed a  "girls night in" at the beach. It was a wonderful retreat. The thing that one learns is there is quite a bit of difference between a slumber party at age 12 and the age that we are now. We are still recounting things "our mother's have said" but we can't pull an all nighter and most of us are ready to call it a night at 10:00! Still we laughed and ate goodies (bring on the ice cream, brownies, hot fudge and yes pass the whipped cream!) and we still are wowed by a beautiful sunset. Thank you Sherri  for hosting such a great evening of fun and to Kathy, Jo, Judy, Maria and Karen  for all the fun company. Special thanks to Kathy who told us such funny stories about her mom and falling in love. (Well some things never get old!)
