Carnival Elation

We just returned from a cruise on the Carnival Elation. We left New Orleans, went to Cozumel, tried to go to Progresso, but because of high winds and stormy seas, we turned and headed for home. This picture was taken on our way home, once the seas had quieted down. It was a fun, short cruise, the food was good, with baked beans and grits each morning, nope, we didn't eat them, because the passengers were mostly from the southern states. We have now begun using y"all...cause it just feels good :o)

Father and sister

Well here we are, dressed in our finest for the halloween party at the Eagles. We didn't win a prize, but we had a lot of fun. I can't remember ever going to a costume party as an adult so there's another thing I can check off my bucket list.

St. Peter

Halloween was a blast yesterday, especially for the kids at St. Nicks School. They dressed as saints for their party and ended the school day with angel food cake and strawberries.  This is our first experience with a parochial school and it's really nice the way they keep things somewhat saintly. Oh, and Jacob is supposed to be St. Peter :o)
