First Snow!

This weekend I drove up to Greeley on Saturday. Suzi and Zak had a play they wanted me to see, Jekyll and Hyde. Zak was in charge of the sound and Suzi was a part of the lights and costume designs. Brian wanted to go also, but he was unable to.

When I got to Greeley, I took Suzi and Zak out to dinner at one of their favorite restaurants, Johnny Carinos. They have good food, and their Italian Nachos to start things off are very tasty!

We went and saw the play, which was very good! I had never seen Jekyll and Hyde before. Of course, everyone knows the baseline story, but it was very good! After the play I stayed at Suzi and Zak's house overnight and left in the morning.

I made it home just in time for GREEN, GREEN, GREEN! The race was a good one. I would have like to have seen some better results, but I was happy that Jimmy won! After the race we had an early steak dinner, and then I took Adam back to the Academy while Brian watched the end of the Bronco game.

I made it back just in time for our first trick-o-treaters! Our first one was a little girl about 3 years old dressed up as a Care Bear. She was so cute! Brian and I got into the Halloween spirit also. I dressed up as a 50's girl with a poodle skirt and Brian wore a large black sheath with a hood. He had a mask to wear, but he didn't wear it. Overall we had about 60-70 kids. I had bought 2 large bags of candy and 3 smaller one. We probably only have about 1/2 a large bag left and we gave 2 pieces to everyone. We were rather disappointed to see how many people didn't have their lights on. About 1/2 the houses right around us were not handing out candy.

They had predicted snow for Halloween evening. About 7:00pm it started to rain. I am not sure when it turned over to snow. At 8:00pm we turned out the lights and went into the basement to watch TV. When we came up later to go to bed, there was snow on the deck! It was still snowing a little bit the next morning, but the wind was howling! On my car, I had about 3 inches of snow on my hood, and there was a drift next to the car about a foot deep. It was cold and windy all day, and by mid afternoon the sun was back out. Last night it dipped into the single digits! Brrrr.

So, today is cold again. They are saying possible snow later this week! I hope so! It's great to see it again, and now that I only have to go a few short miles to work, it's even better!

Other than that things are pretty much the same here. We want to wish a Happy Birthday to Trey F. (ring bearer) and to Chris and Christina!

We are all still patiently awaiting word from my cousin, Matt, about a baby arrival! Erica was due on Halloween (I think, or the 30th). So, it should be any day now!!

Congrats to our friends Chrissie and Ed on their move into their new home! Hope the move went smoothly!

Well, things are crazy at work here, so gotta run!
