OctoberFest

Dear Family and Friends. We had a busy October. Here, belatedly, are some pictorial highlights.

First weekend. Balloon Fiesta. Our guests: my sisters, Connie and Verla, and my nephew (Connie's son), Marcus and his wife, LeeAnn.




It never gets old.



Monday picnic in the mountains.



Grandson Tony Hinkle has enlisted in the Army. We went to his swearing-in ceremony in Albq. He leaves after Christmas for basic training in Fort Knox.



Third weekend plus: in Denver, for Jeff's birthday weekend and, coincidentally, the weekend he and family were moving. That gave Susie some quality time with Malia and me the chance to paint a couple of rooms.

Malia (almost 4 yrs. old) had two soccer games. She was generally close to the ball, but they wouldn't pass it to her. Next year they'll do passes.

She found this panda bear waiting for her in her new house.



From Denver we flew to North Carolina. We visited with niece Heather (brother, Lael's daughter) and her family: Joe, Lindsay, and Samantha.



Visited with Mike, Karen, and Jason (4th grade), who does golf and soccer.



You may have noticed that I don't seem to include the soccer ball in my pictures. The sport moves so fast, compared to the delayed click on my digital camera.

Home again: Backyard color.



Soon followed by: first snow of the season.



Posted from Hawaii, Nov. 15. We'll be in touch soon.

Cheers,

Susie and Rob
