October, a recap

Well that was a busy and fun month!

Started off quiet. I finally tested negative for Covid. I made a shirt.

Went to Los Angeles and Vegas, but I already posted about that. (But here are a few highlight pics anyway…)

The day after I got home, the boys and I went to a Pelicans game, because tickets were super cheap.

Not a whole lot happened for a while. I made that moto jacket.

Ziggy was cute.

Took the boys driving a bunch to practice before they started the driving portion of their driver’s ed class.

Then I went on my the second trip of the month! Also to see Kiki and go to a show!

I flew to DC Friday, and we went to a Caps game.

Hung out with Maxie and I tried on $80k worth of jewelry on Saturday. We went to some thrift stores to finish off our costumes, and Kiki bought me this Friends Christmas sweatshirt. Later that evening we heard about Matthew Perry. 😦

Saturday night we went to a Halloween party. Our costumes were awesome.

Sunday, Kiki and I drove to Silver Spring to go see a concert and spent the night at a hotel there. Then I flew home the next day. A short but super fun trip. I hate not knowing when we’ll see each other again. Hmmph.

I did get to see lots of fall colors, which was neat.

And then yesterday was Halloween. I handed out candy, but not many kids came. Mark my words, next year I’m going to get full-sized candy bars. I’m going to be one of those houses. Don’t let me forget.

Saying bye to friends

I went to a goodbye party last night for some friends who are leaving New Orleans. It was sad, of course, but also full of laughs.

Especially watching old people my age try to figure out selfie sticks.

Those are all triplet and quad mamas, giving Robin and Bryan a send off before they head out of town.

The Gates moved here about five years ago, as part of the Hornets/Pelicans coaching staff. Thanks to them, the boys got to attend a couple of NBA games, which was pretty awesome.

  
Their triplets were born quite prematurely, but they’re all healthy four year olds (what?) now, quite a bit bigger than when I photographed them.

Aw, squishes!

Anyway, they’re just great people and hopefully they’ll find themselves in New Orleans again one day.
