What a weekend!

Friday morning started with a bang, literally. I hit an eight-point buck on the way to a root canal appointment. Long story short, I was fine, the Armada was not, but I still made it to the appointment and we did not keep the deer. Now in retrospect, it might have been cool to hang the antlers in my sewing room, but so much for that thought.

Saturday we met up with my Auntie Kathy and my parents at the Anoka Halloween parade, all while having our basement sheetrock taped and mudded. The weather was entirely perfect for the parade and the kids were getting the hang of grabbing parade candy by the time we left.

Sunday my parents were still here and cousin Chrissie and her son Lucas stopped by to look at some slides my mom had brought of the good old days in 1960s Duluth. Todd and Naomi also drove down to do some quick repair on the Armada to make it road-ready for the drive to Duluth and Todd's place of business, an auto body shop.

All in all, we were quite busy and fortunate really. Thanks to all who made it special.
