My Beautiful Gabby

This pic was from November. She's so beautiful!

Halloween

Halloween around here: Gabby was Felicity, her Colonial Era American Girl doll. Sam was James. Robert's folks were here with us. It was a nice evening, despite the predictions for rain. We had time to go out trick-or-treating and then hand out candy before it started raining.

Museum of Glass

The Museum of Glass in Tacoma is fascinating. You can watch them make items in the hot shop. We happened to be there on the last Sunday in October, when they make a creation designed by a kid. That was neat to see. I have to admit that the bridge was my favorite part of the whole thing, followed closely by the kid designs.

Olympia

We stopped in Olympia to eat at Anthony's on our way home from Mount Rainier.

Mount Rainier with the Hilliards

This is Mount Rainier in October. Already plenty of snow at Paradise. Enough for a snowball fight and to build a snowman.

One more try

Another test

Last one didn't work like I thought. Trying something else...

Just testing
