Halloween, diversion and little ones

1 Fireworks have been going off all evening. It's late and people are still in the Halloween spirit.
2 He laughs when it's time to go through security at the airport. He knows I'll smile at his antics instead of tears.
3 Last year we had no trick or treaters but this year 33 little ones came to our door. I especially enjoyed Snow White and the little lady bug who was about a year and a half and would only wear the antennae!

day, cutting and waitress

1 We eased into the day with coffee, tea and good talk.
2 He thoroughly enjoys being the 'chain saw guy'. We now have pruned grapes, a large branch is not blocking the driveway area anymore and sadly a plum tree is gone. Next turnaround we'll get rid of the stump and plant a new fruit tree. I'm leaning towards a plumcot.
3 The waitress was in fine form, chatting about her family and stories of Taiwan. She's always pleasant when we're in their establishment.

excursion, bidding and dating

1 Our excursion to the car auction netted us a new used car. 
2 The bidding process was so exciting. My heart was pounding and I could barely breathe! It was so fun! Thank god we had a cut off price!
3 Lunch at Lefty's! Excellent meal with my guy. I love dating my husband!

robin, showers and a mixture

1 I enjoy working with Robin. She has a good heart, tries very hard and shows genuine interest in people. She could be a good friend.
2 The weather is blustery and blows leaves in every direction. Showers of red, yellow and green swirl around me as I walk to the beach and back on my lunch break.
3 We find a local pub to have our dinner. It's full of characters. There's a table full of young men who initially are rather tame but progressively get louder the more they drink; two elderly men who continuously tell each other they should go home even as they order another pint of beer and finally two older women. One woman is larger and drinks beer while the other slightly older woman drinks red wine and chews gum with her mouth wide open. Our home town locals are a mix and a half.

too much, simple and more

1 Too many things to think about. He listens, hugs and comforts.
2 Dinner is simple but shared.
3 More apple crisp for him to indulge on.

schedule, lunch and a bit of both

1 My work schedule has changed and I'm a little unsure of what to do next. I've asked the new supervisor to clarify it with my other boss. I'm hoping I don't rock the boat too much.
2 We have a very brief lunch at the beach. It's so windy and rainy you can hardly see the ocean and beachfront but still, we're at the beach.
3 We watch a movie together and don't fall asleep. That's either because we watch it early in the evening, it's a good movie that keeps our attention or a bit of both.

reconnecting, occupy and husband food

1 We both sleep late and luxuriate in the feeling of lazing around and just talking to each other.
2 Today he wants to visit an occupy site. It's a bit cool and windy but we check it out, talk to a few people and try to envision solutions for some of the issues. It would be good to hear most positives. Tomorrow we'll see about attending one of their public forums and hearing what others have to say.
3 Rosemary, garlic lamb sausages, green beans and brussel sprouts for dinner with apple crisp and ice cream for dessert. He hasn't eaten a home cooked meal in a very long time.
