Kate Crass and Footings and Halloween

Dear Family and Friends,

Marta, Evan, and Kate Crass stopped by last weekend. It is nice to be close enough where family can drop in. Kate is five months old and a beauty.

Footings have turned our neat house site into a lunar landscape. However, that is progress. The surveyors were back to check that all the footings are in the right places. Concrete goes in at the beginning of next week- before any rain!

We went to our first Halloween costume party in 35 years. I was Mr. Whipple and Marsha was a 4-Pack of Charmin. Those Conard costume skills paid big dividends. We fired up the hot glue gun, and away we went. You can see our Brevard friends- Carol & Lloyd as Annie and Oliver Warbucks, Anne and Roy as Pinnochio and Geppetto, and Sally and Mal as Sister Sal and Father Mal. When Sister Sal waved her ruler at me, I had a definite deja-vu experience.

This weekend we are going to Florida. I am taking a class in Voice-Overs. I will try to put into action all those exhortations from people to put my voice on the radio. Marsha is taking Connor to Disneyworld with Jess. This is Connor's first Disney experience. He is a little excited, to say the least.
