Greetings everyone. It’s hard to believe we are at the end of October already. These little ghosts and goblins have their costumes ready for a great night of trick-or-treating. Soon we will be into the holiday season. Not until we get one more summer vacation in for the year, as friends Linda LuAnn and Norm Goss were treated to a wonderful vacation to the Outer Banks, North Carolina, thanks to their daughter Cindy Wilson, grandson Daulton Wilson, granddaughter Darcy and husband Seth Knable.

We had so much fun with four little boys ages two months to four years. Really brought back good memories. The weather was good, and they had lots of tasty food, including a delicious fish fry thanks to their good fishermen. A beautiful vacation was had by all, and plans are already being made for next year.
