This aint Mayberry!

Tomorrow is the big day when Jake tries to get out of a ticket that was issued to him for driving an ATV inside city limits when Jake wasn't even driving! Ugggh. Then the officers reply was "this ain't Mayberry". Did I mention the ticket was cited in Midway! The next best place for the Andy Griffin show? Good luck babe. You'll need it.

Good by Yota

This week we sold our little Toyota and it was a sad goodbye. It was the first car we bought when we got married and it has been an old faithful. Despite the mismatched shell, paint chips, cut out rims with black rust preventing paint and the fancy gray racing stripe, it was a true beauty. May its new owner love it as much as we did.

Cleo the Witch

As you can tell, Cleo loves her Halloween Costume! Jake and I found her laying at the bottom of our bed the next morning. I guess running to the door everytime a trick or treater came really wore her out.

We are off to see the Wizard

This Halloween my branch dressed up like the Wizard of Oz. It was a lot of fun. We had Dorothy w/ her Toto, the Tin Man, Scarecrow, Lion, Wizard, Munchkins, a couple wicked witches and a the good witch of the North. I was the yellow brick road. It was a lot of fun.
