Happy Fall Y'all

I love the fall. It was beautiful here today, sunny and cool. The great thing about living here in NC is that the temperature will stay “Fall like” well into December. I hardly ever wear a heavy winter coat; forget about big bulky Yankee sweaters! It is so nice. We had a pretty busy weekend. Our church and Catholic school had its annual Oktoberfest. You have to love drinking beer and eating bratwurst in the church parking lot! On Saturday we headed over to one of the teachers houses from school for a family Halloween party. The kids carved pumpkins and went on a “red neck” hayride. What is a redneck hayride you ask??? Well all you have to do is throw some hay into the back of a pickup truck and jump on in! LOL It was funny and the kids had a blast. Hannah went trick or treating with a friend over at the sorority and frat houses at a nearby university. She had fun and any opportunity for her to dress up as “prom queen” works for Hannah. Ben went to his second party of the weekend (no school tomorrow) dressed as one of the Blues Brothers. We are all pretty much wiped out even with the extra hour of sleep! We hope that everyone is doing well and enjoying the last days of October.
