More Mayberry (aka Monument) Life

Fall is wonderful here. We have had our first snow, but it melted in a day or two and it has been sunny, warm and beautiful since. This weekend we went and decorated pumpkins at the local feed store and then took a hayride history tour which was fun and interesting at the same time. Had lunch in town at the café and ran into Lucy and Kelly who sat and joined us. It's all very Capra-esque (but, of course, that is what I was looking for). Saturday night we went to a Halloween party with friends, Doug was Van Gogh, complete with a bloody bandaged ear and a reddish beard. Thad was Billy Idol and looked exactly like him, truly, it was eerie. He won a "coolest" costume award (at the bowling alley) so was in great spirits, but always is anyway.
