Halloween

Corbin & his friend Justin came over to trick-or-treat in our neighborhood. Brandy dressed up, but stayed at the house. She handed out candy and played games.

Pumpkin Carving

We needed a large cutting crew to carve sufficient jack-o-lanterns to light our driveway. In reality, we needed about twice as many as we ended up with. I don't think we could handle doing any more pumpkins, though.

Brandy put her initials on her pumpkin.

Darrell is concentrating awfully hard.

Bonfire at the Hockaday's

We had fun roasting hot dogs and taking a hayride on a gorgeous fall evening.

Norris & Richard even joined us for dinner and took the hay wagon ride to get back home.

Donnie has a load of Holladay & Hockaday kids plus a few Morton and Briggs offspring.

Lynn did a wonderful job of planning & decorating. It was a lovely evening.

Retirement Party

Clarence was the senior partner at the firm when I started there. Several years back, he went to semi-retired status. He is officially completely retiring at the end of this year, so the firm had a picnic in his honor at a co-worker's house. We ate crabs, played bocce and just visited on a lovely fall afternoon.

Scooter Moves Out

Sheila is head of the Hedgehog Rescue Society in Maryland. She drove down and picked up Scooter to take him to live with her and let potential adoptive families come meet him. I miss hearing him running in his wheel, but glad he is getting more attention now.

JMU Family Weekend
