Bragging Rights

So....I know Paul would never brag about this, so I am taking it upon myself to do so for him. He submitted his first book of poems, "The Full Cart Encyclokardia", to the American Poetry Association last month. It is a compilation of his work over the years and a true labor of love. We are so proud of you Papa!

Happy Halloween!

The frog prince, the princess, carmen miranda, and the vampire bat. I just LOVE dress up!

Carmen busy eating the fruit off her hat. The dress was a present that Memaw and Pepaw brought back from Spain a couple years ago. Fitting don't you think?

The bat couldn't stop flying for more the 10 seconds so this picture is about as good as it gets. And that was BEFORE the candy....

House (or should I say garage?) Party

We opened the garage doors last weekend for a little celebrating. A couple bonfires in the yard to stay warm, excellent beer flowing from the fridge, and the groovy sounds of CORESPONDENTS filled the air. Uncle Doug and the band were heading south for a three week tour and we were lucky enough to get them live in the garage. And we even raised $160 of gas money for them. So, so fun.

Halloween preparations

Las Chicas et tortillas

Our friend Jasmine was on her way back to Mexico and decided to school us in authentic tortilla making. No measuring cups, no recipe, just 25 years experience of finding the right blend of masa, flour, and water. We laughed a lot, and maybe she was laughing at us. And although I can't really say my Spanish got any better, my tortilla making sure did! Thanks Yaz!!
