At the beginning of the month we were still on our way back from New Jersey. We arrived back at Chloe's Big Mill B&B just in time to celebrate Halloween with her! What a hoot.
Then out to dinner at Sunny Side Oyster Bar - the real deal.
Then we got back on the road and stayed at the beautiful Fort McAllister State Park in Georgia. Then on to Florida and a quick visit with Diane and Andy who have moved back to Florida after several years in California. The last time we saw them was in San Juan Capistrano when their daughter, Elizabeth was about 8 and climbing all over the jungle gyms. Now she is 15? and an award-winning goalie on a soccer team.
They live in Melbourne, not far from Robin Werling - so we stayed in Robin's driveway for the night and headed home the next day. We had to get home in time to attend the Graham Nash concert at The Parker on Nov 6 - a reservation Jim made as my birthday present.
But that still gave us time to go to our favorite "date-night" restaurant (Cooper's Hawk) for dinner on my actual birthday!
We did it! We hosted Thanksgiving!
Jim's sister Debbie, always hosts holidays, but we decided to give her a break this year. We got out the folding tables and set them up in the living room to accomodate 10 people. Good to know - that's about the limit to fit comfortably inside our place. Jim made a corned ham - he bought a fresh ham and corned it himself.
