As I sit writing this, the day after Halloween, snow is falling outside. The morning started out with a light rain, which turned to snow. We beat last year's first snow by 15 days (not counting the fluke snow we had in Sept.) Jim and I enjoyed an extended Halloween weekend starting on Thursday with a beer tasting at a local liquor store, Bin 905. We tasted quite a few beers, or which some were a treat and some were a trick. Overall most of them were drinkable. HA! Like we ever turned down a beer!
Halloween night, we met friends at National Beer Pub on 17 AVE to watch all the crazy Halloweeners....is that a word, "Halloweener"? We saw some pretty wild costumes. Nothing to controversial like we've seen on 6th ST in Austin or in New Orleans on Halloween, but some very fun costumes and lots of skin, naturally, even with the chilly temps! We saw literally busloads of people being dropped on on 17. I guess they were busing them in from the burbs.
Saturday night we had drinks with friends at our house then went to a nearby (fancy) pizza place called Bocce for dinner. It seems to be the new people watching place with lots of windows up front so people walking by can watch you eat your pizza.
And finally Sunday night, we had dinner at our wonderful neighbors, the McNeils. What a fantastic cook Dayna is! Sorry you had to miss it Wayne!
We received lots of pictures of Reese and Evan, our darling granddaughters, celebrating their first Halloween. Next year we will be back in Houston to celebrate with them. Just love those girls!
