My mom made this witch for me when we were first married. 


Is that a mouse?!!!!  EEK! 







We saw a cool idea in Savannah, Georgia to cover mirrors, etc. in black for mourning (and Halloween).  I love the look!

New idea this year.....floating witches hats.

Halloween is my favorite holiday to decorate for.  I love the colors of fall and Halloween and all the fun ghosts and witches.  I don't do the scary gross stuff so everything is cute or fun.







I bought the flag in Savannah, Georgia

Trip to Savannah, Georgia

September 24-27, 2015. John & I took a trip to Savannah to celebrate our 28th wedding anniversary.  We named our 3rd daughter after the town but had never been there to visit.  My mom and sister Annabel & her husband John were with us.  What a fun trip.  Here's some highlights:
Heather, Joye & Annabel getting ready to see the sites

I loved seeing the name "Savannah" on everything.  This was our shuttle bus


One of the sites on our tour around town

Juliette Low's house.  It was also on the haunted tour.

We didn't buy anything here just loved the name of the place

Paula Deen's restaurant - we ate there for lunch.  Yummy!

John in one of the many parks in town.  All the trees had moss hanging from them.  It was cool looking.


We went on a haunted tour in the evening.  Very interesting.  They say that Savannah is the most haunted city in America.

This is the famous fountain in Forsythe Park.  

We toured this lighthouse and grounds on Tybee Island.  John, John, and Heather climbed the 178 steps to the top.  Great vew!

Labor Day Camping 2015

Notice the tree is bent 
 We camped this year near Flagstaff, Arizona for Labor Day Weekend.  We took a Sunday drive out to Camp Raymond so John could show us this unique tree.
