Halloween Scenes

It's been a while since I've posted.  In September, I was contacted by several event and marketing companies I occasionally work for and requested to take on a few projects.  By the time I finished saying yes, I had three straight weeks of work back in Nashville.  So I had to put my work on The House of Goodwill on hold.  My plan was to return in the beginning of November for three last weeks of work on the house before the holidays.

But life does not always go as planned, does it?

A week before Halloween, I got home from work to find out that my father had a heart attack.  Two of my brothers were immediately making plans to go be with my mom - and dad - so I waited to hear more.  Long story short, my father began to recover and I finished my last job.  But now, instead of returning to The House of Goodwill, I'll be heading to Florida for a while to see my parents.  (More on this story to come.)

For now, I thought I'd share a few pics from Halloween last year at The House of Goodwill, since we're not doing much this year.

Last year, Halloween fell on a beautiful, warm autumn day.

It was so peaceful at the lake.

We had a pumpkin carving junk food party in the evening.

My son (adopted from Colombia) had only carved a pumpkin twice before in his life.

And he did a great job, with a freehand pumpkin design!

My pumpkin before my dog ate one of the ears off. (?) 🙄

He was cute on the porch with my ghost from Goodwill, no?

Fortunately, my husband's good at a thousand other things...😉

We re-watched "The Others" with an inflatable cat a friend lent me.

The moonlight on the lake, Halloween evening.

Beautiful!

It was such a perfect night.

Happy Halloween! 👻
