Heaven & Hell - Our Halloween Party

Monday, October 31, 2011 - 
Hubs and I had a great time entertaining friends this past weekend by hosting our annual Halloween party.  This year's theme, as you may remember, was Heaven & Hell.

The hosts for the evening!
Our second floor (living room, kitchen, and dining room) was Heaven.  Complete with candle light, cloud seating, and heavenly treats.  Champagne punch had people sipping sparkles while holy water kept others in high spirits. 





You may recognize the nun?  Of course, she is my mother!  Yup, mom and dad came and surprised us with two of their good friend, Pete & Debbi.  When I say surprised us, that means they drove from Wisconsin for the evening!  Thanks for coming mom and dad!  You definitely surprised us!

Our first floor and garage was hell for the evening.  Spicy treats included jalapeno poppers, buffalo dip, spicy shrimp and other hot candies.  In addition, hubs home brewed pumpkin ale and my hard cider were flowing.  I have to post photos of hubs pumpkin tap later - it is a treat you won't want to miss!




We have some great friends who came out.  Sad to see others didn't make it, but a good time was surely had by all those who did!

Happy Halloween!

Stuckey's Apple Farm

Monday, October 24, 2011 - 
As you probably know by now, Autumn is my favorite season.  I love the crisp air, the flavors of the season, the sounds of the leaves crunching beneath my feet, the colors of the leaves and the smell of the fresh air.  Everything about the season makes me want to do whatever I can to take it all in.  Hubs and I went to an apple orchard, Stuckey Farms, last weekend and tried to pick our pumpkins and apples.  Unfortunately, most of the apples had already fallen and the pumpkins had been picked over.  But we still had a great time together enjoying the weather and each other.
