October

October brought an old friend, trunk refurbishing, and Halloween!


Derrick (Georgia brother I met and was in band with in Hawaii) was nice enough to come visit Conference weekend.  It's always nice to catch up with old friends!



Here is the trunk almost at the beginning of my efforts.  This is after scrubbing rusty metal and painting anti rust stuff on it but before gluing or any more painting.



It is still not finished.  I still need to re-line the inside and the tray that sits inside.  I also need to figure out what I want to do about the handles, but I have finished the outside for now.  The painting was not finished until well into November, but here is the finished (for now) product.  I am leaving the wood the way it was.



Halloween prep was a lot of fun this year.  We went to a little family farm to pick out a pumpkin.  Henry's giant dump truck came to help and the two of them did their "important job" and found the perfect pumpkin.





We painted pumpkins this year.  Henry loves to paint!




And it can't be Halloween until you've made some Halloween cookies.  Yumm!
