Happy Friday everyone! Are you looking forward to the weekend? Today is officially Hal's last day in the working world; he was initially scheduled to retire at the end of September, but his boss asked if he would work until the end of October to help get his replacement up to speed. So here we are -- one of those big milestones in life, that when you're young, feels like it's light years away. Oh how the years have flown! I'm hoping that since he's worked from home for the last year and a half, that will make this transition somewhat easier for him. Also, he may be called in next year to do some consulting work there, if he's interested, and I think he probably will be. 😉 So, Sunday is Halloween, and I'm posting some more pics from our Charleston trip last week. There were some creative Halloween scenes around town, and we took pictures of our favorites. I realize some people don't like Halloween, but we've never taken it too seriously; it was all in fun when we were growing up, and the same when Will was young. I hope you find some fun with the pictures, and no offense intended.
Hi all! I'm finally getting a chance to write another post for October. We returned on Friday the 22nd, from a four-day trip to Charleston. I know it seems like we go there a lot, but we always seem to find something new to do when we visit. We didn't go anywhere last year other than a long weekend at Oak Island, so we had this trip to Charleston scheduled for May of this year. Sadly, we found out Duncan had cancer at the end of April, so we cancelled the trip for May. My mom was able to get a room for us in October, and we were glad to get away.
I'm very glad to see October -- how about you? Such a lovely month of changing foliage, early morning mists, blue skies, and beautiful sunsets. Today we've had Irish weather, as my husband says. It's been alternating rain and sunshine for most of the day, and the rain has been such a nice, gentle one.
