Happy Halloween

We would normally have a Halloween Party with lots of friends, food, wine and fun. But thanks to COVID we had to cancel the party this year. Instead, my husband put on his costume and we went walking around the neighborhood to see the decorations. I did carve a pumpkin though. Here are some pictures from the evening. It was fun but I didn’t dress up.

4th of July

Oops…June went by without much of a post but here we are in July. Tonight we went up to the Cathedral to see the National Fireworks. We’ve never seen them live before. The weather was nice so we decided to see if we could find a place to see them. There were about a million people up there but we were able to squeeze into a spot and see the fireworks. I took a ton of pictures but none really came out decent. It was hard to get a good angle. Here’s the only one that I thought was decent.

Mother’s Day

Missing my mom today on the first Mother’s Day since her death. We went out to brunch today with the in-laws for Mother’s Day. We had a toast to my mom at dinner. The food was delicious and we had a good time.

Happy Easter

Today we spent the day with the Dails. We had brunch and mimosas and candy and wine. It was a fun day and it was great to spend time with the whole family and with Max’s girlfriend. They have tons of birds in their yard so I was able to add more birds to my bird count.

And here are the birds I saw.

#19 Mourning Dove

#18 Eastern Bluebird

#17 Red-shouldered Hawk

#16 Red-headed Vulture

#15 European Starling

#14 Tufted Titmouse

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas! While my husband is with his family for a few days, I was about to Zoom with my family today. It was the first time in 10 years that we’ve all been together. It was great seeing everyone and hearing updates on everyone’s lives. We had a great time. We plan to do this more often.
