Tidbits

 The girls had Friday, the day after Halloween, off, as a teacher in-service day, for the first time. Seems like a good idea for the district to do so. Cora had a rehearsal for Our Town.

On Saturday, Stace and I went to the Finally Family Homes Bingo/Poker Night and auction. It was held at the Egg Plantation, a SClarita favorite. Our admission got us dinner and two drinks, so we got fancy cocktails.

Colleen and Rigo joined us, and Stace won a bottle of wine at the end of the bingo rounds. At the silent auction, I "won" a great deal on carpet cleaning, from the company we normally use. 

On Sunday, I worked on processing the two jack o' lanterns and came up with so much pumpkin for the freezer. We use it throughout the year in our favorite pumpkin chocolate-chip muffins.
For lunch Sunday, I opened up a special can of real Heinz baked beans and made a Stacey favorite, beans on toast with English cheddar broiled on top.

With teens, I'm definitely not needed in the same ways I was when the girls were younger. 

But at times, they do still ask for my help. 

Yikes.
Every now and then, this guy has to be at the top of his tree!
