Last Sunday and yesterday (Saturday) were big days in the Bug household.
I’m going to try to not share ALL the photos, but there are a few more than
usual on those days. To make up for it there are two days without pictures. Woo
hoo!
Sunday, October 22nd
Dr. M & I took a little road trip up into the mountains and it was glorious!
I had tomato basil pie and pecan pie. It was a banner day.
Also, I wanted Dr. M to take
some photos of my new shawl.

It’s pretty ugly around here – you can see why we needed to escape to the mountains.

No photo.
My cousin found a pillow pattern with an interesting construction. I wanted to try it in miniature first. It’s interesting – I might do the crochet part and have her do the sewing. Ha!

No photo.

One of us might have gotten carried away with the oatmeal toppings. Can you guess which is whose?
Saturday, October 28th
Trunk or Treat at church! I went as a tacky tourist – mostly so I could wear shorts (it was 84 degrees!) and no makeup.
We had a lot of cute
customers. And one of our chaplains dressed as the Holy Ghost which was
hilarious (and very appropriate). Not pictured: a pirate themed trunk where the
kids had to walk the plank to get their candy, an Operation game where kids
used tweezers and tongs to get their candy, and a fishing set up where the
candy was on the ends of fishing poles. It was a fun day!
There’s a moon (and Jupiter!)
in the sky! It’s been a while since Dr. M had the energy or the sky was
clear enough to get a good moon shot. Last night was perfect.

This was another heavy week. I feel helpless, guilty, and afraid of what all this taking sides will do in our election (and then guilty again because why do I worry about that when children are dying). And then I feel confused because there are wars and dying children all over the world so why does this one get to us so much? Oof. So in true Enneagram 9 fashion I’m going to shift my focus to what I’m going to wear on Halloween for our office contest. How are you handling all the heaviness in the world?
With dread.

DeleteSo that was Jupiter up there with the moon. I saw it, and knew it wasn't Venus, but wasn't sure which planet it was. I was going to look it up, and forgot. Now I know! Your shawl is gorgeous. It looks much nicer on than spread out on a table or whatnot. As for 'trunk or treat,' I've never heard of that approach, but I like it. It reminds me of the 'boot sales' I've read about in England, where people line up with their stuff in their car trunks -- a version of a garage sale.
ReplyDeleteAnd, yes: of course I know whose oatmeal is whose!
What's funny is in my original post I had put that it was Saturn - I have no idea where I got that. Fortunately I changed it before anyone read it.
DeleteI should have included some pictures of the trunks - they were very clever!
Lovely blue skies. I'm enjoying yours since ours are grey and rainy again now. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteAre you sure there was oatmeal under all that falderal? It looked suspiciously like my birdseed.
Hahaha! Yes, there was a smidge of oatmeal under there.
Deleteoh, we humans, we love to maim and kill. war is contagious I guess.
ReplyDeleteYep.
DeleteYes, these are desperate times. It's hard not to be discouraged. I love that girl's braids in your church costume photos -- and "Holey Ghost" is hilarious!
