wow - I left you way back in October, and now it is almost December. Well, a lot has happened! I didn't tell you that we visited Beth and Emily at their new apartment and went to Emily's schools fundraiser - the Medieval Festival of Courage in October.

Miss Em is in the middle, her class performed at the castle stage.

Beth helped at the class booth.

After Beth's we went down to Willie's parent's in Sacramento for a few day visit and then home to pack for Florida! But wait, we did not go straight to Florida, we stopped in Albuquerque to see our best friends.

I loved Albuquerque! It was gorgeous, huge blue sky and it seemed you could see forever. Our friends house has this awesome view from the kitchen, dining and living room! Here's Lana, making Pizza Friday night at her "job".

Lana is so cool, we love her.

We were there for Halloween and wow, there is a street in Albuquerque that goes all out, every house was decorated for Halloween!The dead were coming out of the ground......

That's Zoe and Willa - Russian nesting dolls of course! And Zoe the rest are coming..

These guys were especially scary....

We got our kicks, on Route 66.

Ww arrived in southwest Florida about 4 weeks ago, spend a few nights with Mom and Dad and then headed out to Englewood, an hour north.

Bed on the floor. Worked for a while.

We went to garage sales the day after we arrived and I scored this, our first piece of furniture for $25! I love it!

Some holiday lights perked up the dining room.

We were pretty happy to find that what we thought was a palm, bloomed and it was a Bird of Paradise. That is how I feel, a bird of paradise. Or would that be in paradise?

That at least catches us up. Since, we have bought a truck, put in a mailbox, cleared the trees from the wires, got Internet installed, you get the idea. Also we have been cleaning, painting, cleaning, gardening, did I say cleaning?
Next installment - photos of progress! Thanks for listening, I love you and please comment!
