Weekend Summary

It was my first full weekend back in the States, and it reminded of just how lucky I am. I have such terrific people in my life, which leads to terrific time spent with those people.

I spent the first part of the weekend with Mel and her family, celebrating her upcoming nuptuals. I always love visiting her family, as their kindness and zaniness reminds me of my own family.

Then Saturday night, Mel and I -- with Kate in tow as well! -- took part in an annual ritual of going to Scream Acres, our favorite Halloween haunted house and hay ride. What fun, what fun. Nothing beats standing in newly-cool temperatures under an umbrella of a dark, starry night and getting scared by ghosts and goblins!

Some highlights from the weekend:
Eating the flavorful foods at Mel's family's MeatFest party Friday night.
Wandering around downtown Cheraw. And eating mini donuts. Yum.
Dressing up and going to a bridal shower tea party.
Feeling cold for the first time this season.
Realizing the holidays are soon upon us!
