Pumpkins carved, and we are on the move....Kelly "toured" us around Chalottesville...with Monticello being a main sight as well as Carter's Mountain...where our apple-pickin' expertise gave Kelly what she needed to make, from scratch, the best apple pie...ever! (per Matt!) Disney on Ice floored us with the story of Nemo...which we enjoyed in tasty style! Then it was off to Richmond on 11/4 for the induction ceremony into the VA Bar...passing the test is just the beginning..then you have to be inducted! A fitting ceremony for our newest lawyer in the fam! Nothing less than Melting Pot that night in Charlottesville to celebrate the occasion. After the ceremony (and smelling a bit like old fish...having "moved in" with Matt and Kelly for almost two weeks!)...we headed south. After an overnight of walking, walking and walking in Gatlinburg....Florida looked pretty good. We are staying put through the holidays...with Kimberly and her family her at Thanksgiving; Barbara and Abby post Thanksgiving and back again with Eric on Christmas Day; and Robyn and John coming for time over the Christmas holidays. Who knows where January may take us....Las Vegas is in first place so far, but NYC is running a close second! This is a whirlwind retirement...and we are lovin' it!

Mommy,
What a fantastic post! That slideshow looks amazing!!! GREAT JOB! I knew you would have no problems with it!!! I had no idea that NYC and Las Vegas were on your list...you need to hit up NYC next December so you can get the window and tree effect!!!!!! So my vote is that you and daddy hit up Vegas first!!! ha! ha! ha! :-) i'm glad you guys are enjoying retirement! and i'm so thankful that you were both able to visit matt and i....although i know neither one of us thought you two smelled like fish - we'd love to have you guys visit again...SOON! :-)
