Food and Wine Festival

It's a beautiful day in Florida, sun is shining and it's in the upper 70's.  We have season tickets to Walt Disney World and my dh and I are going to the Food and Wine Festival.  We did half of it about a month ago and now we will do the other half.  It's in Epcot and it is a lot of fun. Also, they will have the fireworks tonight.  I love fireworks, but the problem is, I hope I can stay up until ten o'clock.  Also, they have the Illumination Parade, the last time I saw that was in 1996.

On Saturday, my son-in-law and grandchildren will be spending the weekend with us.  We are looking forward to seeing them.  My dh is excited because he had gotten repair parts for my dgs rc.  I will be working with my dgd on making pot holders.  Hopefully, I will know how to take it off the loom.

Have a great weekend.

Happy November

Our first Halloween in our new house. We had lots of children trick or treating in our neighborhood.  It was such a happy day seeing all the little ones dressed up.  We also had teenagers trick or treating, what I loved about it is they were really dressed up, not just a mask on the faces.  We had three teenagers who dressed up as the Mutant Ninja Turtles and they were great.  They sure did the acting for a treat.

It's so different for me to be in sun and warmth in November.  I'm loving it.  I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving my dd and her family will be coming up.  Now she lives in south Florida and about 4 hours away.  I am planning my menu for our dinner.  They will be coming up on Wednesday and leave on Friday. Every year my grandchildren helps us to put up our Christmas tree, with a train around the tree.  That is the only part they really look forward to.

I went to the grocery store, and in their parking lot light poles is a palm tree with a gift box under it. The other poles also had Christmas stockings.  I need to take a picture of it and post it.  I loved seeing these decorations.  I don't know why I'm so excited for the holidays this year, but I am.  A lot of changes happened to us this year and change is good.
