October Celebration

It's October! Time to celebrate! We LOVE October and the FALL season around here. It's right before it gets too cold to go outside! And for us, there is plenty to celebrate!!
A time for a celebration worthy of a photographer! Our dear friend Ruthie dedicated herself to photographing the event, so we will post beautiful photos soon. Paul's birthday was the 1st. His 3rd anniversary of living here in this beautiful house in NC was the 2nd, and our 10th wedding anniversary is the 16th. We have so many blessings to count and celebrate that we felt it the only choice to invite our friends and have a REAL celebration --- a life celebration. And we were right! It was a wonderfully fun and happy evening to celebrate ... and on a harvest moon! What perfect timing! (and as a side note, the couple of the right, Janine and Mark, are currently in New Orleans, scheduled to get married tomorrow evening! We are so excited for them ... best wishes you two!!!!)
Beth, the amazingly talented bungalow dweller, was on flower arranging, food presentation, and hand holding (mine, of course). She was awesome, unbelievably so. I wouldn't have made it through all the hoopla without her. Thanks Beth!!!!! Photos to follow - compliments of Ruthie! Check out Ruthie's website ... she's an incredible artist.

Paul was, of course, the "chocolate turkey" maker. Always so creative, his turkeys were party favors! I'm sure chocolate mice are coming soon ... it's almost Nutcracker season.

The food was amazing ... and copious. And in Beth's defense, Paul draped this table cloth on the table ... a little lop sided ... but beautiful, nevertheless!

These are Christian's sunflowers - and Beth's arranging. The miniature pumpkins were perfect - and much to our entertainment, they float! The wine was plentiful ... and delicious!

Thanks for being in our celebration! What a wonderful world.
Cheers!
Paul & Cheri
