After Church and a baby blessing we changed clothes to travel home. I sure did enjoy spending time with my baby sister Sandy.
We also celebrated Reagan's 9th Birthday. Reagan had raised two turkeys this year and was sad when they had to be butchered and put in the freezer. Any kind of cake would be great for her birthday, but if they served Turkey it would be bad.
Her Auntie Clarissa, the cake master and master joker, decided to make Reagan a Turkey Cake. This confection was an amazing feast for the eyes and the palate.
The Leg caps, peas and carrots were made from fondant and the stuffing were diced cake croutons. I can't describe how scrumptious and rich this whole creation was.
When Reagan realized it was a cake and not her bird she said, "I want a drumstick".

Hurricane Zeta makes landfall in Cocodrie, Louisiana in the evening with winds of 110 miles an hour. The storm turned east pummeling the Gulf Coast with rains and high winds.
Suffice it to say that the dome we were building did not survive the hurricane.
🌀🌀🌀
Biloxi, Gulfport and Pascagoula took quite a beating from this storm. Below is Popeye's chicken and the Joanne Fabrics, Harbor Freight and At Home stores looked much the same.
Most of the cities were without power. I drove into Biloxi on Saturday Morning and turned down the highway. At first I thought I had accidently turned onto the beach, but then I started seeing pavement and realized the beach had moved onto Highway 90.

🎃HAPPY HALLOWEEN🎃
We set up the soda machine at the house and I was so excited that we actually had 5 kids and 2 adults come by to Trick or Treat.
We had only been working on the dome here in Pascagoula for a few weeks and had only been spraying shotcrete for a few days when the hurricane blew through and destroyed it. We are so grateful no one was onsite at the time.

Darryl and I were asked to go to New Orleans to help clean up hurricane damage there.
We were truly blessed to be able to serve these 5 households. It changed my attitude that day and how I look at where I am called to served.
These trees were huge and the were spared destruction to their houses, although the fences and out backyard sheds didn't fare as well.
Finally, as we were clearing brush I thought I saw our cat Toulouse. It sure did look like her. What's that they say about cats having 9 lives?
I found this depiction of Moroni mourning the loss of his father, the great prophet and military leader of the Nephites. It gave special meaning to my scripture study of Mormon 1-8.
And my crazy "Celtic Warrior Woman" hair was driving me batty! It wouldn't hold a curl and the Mississippi humidity just made it go Frizzy, so I had about 4 inches of it cut off and it feels great!
November 17, Fitness update.
Since the 1st of August I have now lost 16 pounds and am walking several miles 5 days a week, I can hold planks, even one arm planks and do Chaturangas Dandasana in my daily Yoga practice.
I am feeling healthier and better than ever!
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
