The first week of October found us cleaning and loading the equipment to go back to Idaho Falls.
On October 5th as the snow was flying, we checked out of the hotel and headed back to Idaho Falls. There was so much to do before going to our next assignment.... wherever that might be.
In September Cali received news that she had been hired by the Maricopa County, Arizona Prosecutors Office. She had 7 weeks to sell her house, pack and move to Phoenix.
There was some worked that needed done, the most important was stripping the shingles off the roof and putting new shingles up. Darryl worked for a week to get it done with the help of Barry South, Jesse Kay and neighbors and friends.
It took a little longer than we wanted, but he finally got it all finished.
Dome Technology also told us that we would be going to England for a few weeks so we needed to do some extra safety testing and new identification for the project, which meant new photos. We weren't supposed to smile, but my hair was looking pretty good so I took and extra one.
Darryl only stood still long enough to take his "official" photo.
While we were staying at Jesse and Kelly's they got a new puppy for the kids. This sweet little dachshund named Bandit.
I also had a little time to practice my baking skills.
I made my very first puff pastry..
and the crescent rolls and turnovers turned out delicious, if I do say so myself.
Halloween came while we were there. It was great to see all the Jack-o-lanterns around....
We dressed up and went to the Ward Trunk or Treat Halloween Party.
Lookin' good Tyree~
I dressed up as "Madam Medusa" and decorated the back of my mini van.....
....as 'The Puppy Dog's Pumpkin Patch". You can't see it very well, but the puppy is wearing Red Plaid Pajamas. I won the "Best Trunk" award. I think it was the puppy that won it for me.

Darryl and I left for our next work assignment in Port Allen Louisiana.
We spent the 1st night in Green River, Utah and the next day, Saturday, we drove to Gallup, New Mexico where Darryl bought me a beautiful Turquois & Silver cuff. From Gallup it was on to Burkburnet, Texas to spend the Night with Sandy and David.

Sunday morning, after a delicious breakfast with Sandy and David, we drove to Weatherford, Texas and went to the Weatherford, Ward where we saw many, many dear friends. Sandra Carroll, Theda Marciniak, Kayla and Roy Calderon, Gwen Concrite, Marsha Norwood and her daughter Becca and Becca's family, and others, & of course Bob and Su Bell.
After church we went to Bob and Su's for a waffle dinner with Jim and Marsha Norwood. What a delightful time we had visiting and talking of our families and of old times. After Jim and Marsha left Darryl helped Bob fix a couple of their clocks.
This clock is very special to Bob. It was given to Bob's mother by her grandfather. It hadn't run in years and in just over an hour they had it running.
Bob and Su asked us to spend the night, which we were glad to do, and we left first thing Monday Morning for Louisiana.
