Anniversary dinner

On October 2nd we celebrated our 46th wedding anniversary with a delicious dinner at Island Jerk, a restaurant just a couple of blocks from the marina.

On the 4th I flew to San Antonio, Texas, to visit our son. I spent a great week there with Derek and Murphi, including a wine tasting in Fredericksburg on Saturday and Sunday brunch at the Boiler House restaurant in the old Pearl Brewery complex downtown.

We have seen so many butterflies this month on their migration south! Most are monarch butterflies but there are others as well. The first real cold front came through on the 28th. We had to get out our blankets. :(

Tonight the children staying at the marina went dock to dock, for treats. Then the marina threw a party with pizza, snacks, cupcakes, and drinks (beer, wine, and green witch's brew). Lots of great costumes! What a fun way to end the month!
