HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARSHALL DOC!
We got back to North Carolina just in time for some delicious Lily created Birthday Cake!
And a week later I left to spend 2 months in Florida rehearsing with the Toast of Tampa show Chorus for our International Competition and Darryl flew to Cartagena to start his new project.
Two new shirts. One for TOT and the other a gift from my sister Shelly! (Michelle)
While in Florida I stayed with my dear friend Pamela Grove. She was a perfect hostess and did so much for me while I was there. Every morning I took a walk and one day she took me to this beautiful park for a walk.
We had a fun and quiet time together. She loved to cook for me (which I really enjoyed) and we would watch "our shows" in the evening and had such a good time.
At our Autumn Relief Society meeting we also did a little painting.
I made this Halloween inspired vegetable tray for the Linger Longer at church.
And I found time to go to the beach and use my paddle board at Fred Howard Beach.
But for most of October, I sewed. Yes, I constructed over 50 sashes to hold the lights for our costumes for our Toast of Tampa finals package.
Don't let my hair fool you. It never lasts more than twenty minutes, but at this moment it looked good, so I thought I would document it.
Oh yes... I did have some pretty nice pool time too.
People of Walmart - they are a real thing.
Who in their right mind would every wear anything like this in a grocery store? (Or in a public place that wasn't a seedy night club?)
I had time to pamper myself a little with good pedicure`
Our 1 day fundraiser was a success!
And our full weekend final workshop in Sarasota! What a time we had!
And before I knew it, my time in Florida was done and it was time to hug Pam and say goodbye and head north to the Carolinas and then Louisville, Kentucky where I had a chance to compete in my very first (and possibly last) International Competition.

I stopped in North Augusta for the night and helped Skye out by getting the girls dressed and taking them to the USC School of Law Family Halloween Party.
Miss Avery looked very eerily lovely..
And Reagan and Annabelle went as Mine Craft Characters.
The next day I got to Cami's and it was beautiful!
I was also in time for their Ward Halloween party. I grabbed some random items out of Cami's Costume box and this is what I ended up with.
Isabelle as a broken dolly.
Gage is carrying around his own head in a jar. 👀
Marshall wanted to be a snake. Cami made his costume.
Lily as Fred from the Scooby Doo Cartoons.
Cami setting up her Mario Brother's Trunk or Treat.
Ransom is Dr. Strange. And Gage's costume is getting freakier I think!
Shiloh and Jason came as Mr. and Mrs. Incredible because Wesley wanted to be Jack Jack. They were Awesome!
Mario and Luigi! This is Awesome!
And a bonus was that I got to meet Jonas' girlfriend Eve Black. They just seemed so perfect together.
Izzy and the gooey critter.
Love you Kiddo. Time to go to Louisville.
