Talk about a crowd!!! Where Barb lives in Woodlawn, there is also a huge turnout as most of the houses participate and some of them in a big way. One house around the corner from Barb cooks hot dogs for everyone on the street and gives out other goodies too. The neighbors kick in extra hot dogs for them too. As my sister and I were driving out at 8:45pm last night to go home, another house had a band playing in their driveway, lol. Look at the line of kids here as I was leaving that late...
That was Josh and Dina (barb's son and DIL) up front, handing out the candies...they're both so darling..
Both, hard-working attorneys and then they stay out there late giving out candy to everyone. Dina also made these delicious cupcakes which I snagged one again today...
John, Barb's husband, made this dessert and oh my was it good...cheesecake...
and I don't normally eat cheesecake but had to have this!
Barb and John always have lots of friends over for a party while this is going on too and it was fun to see everyone. They were serving hot Cuban sandwiches, yellow rice and black beans, etc. and everyone was diving into the food.
It's a tradition every year at the Sheridan's and one I hope continues for a long, long time.
This morning, I was up very early and went up to the Admin building for processing, i.e. filling out a lot of papers for subbing. I go back on the 17th for an informational meeting and then 5-7 days after that, I'll be in the system. I already have a job lined up for Nov. 30th with a teacher from my old school. I think I'm really going to enjoy this and will really love making the extra money for my travels.
This Saturday is a big garage sale day in Woodlawn so I'll be back over to Barb's house selling some things and then that evening is Michele and Brad's wedding which I'm really looking forward to attending! I'm driving up with Teresa for that event.
Then next Wednesday, I fly out to Dallas for 6 days to go to a Scrapbook retreat and I can't wait for that!
November is starting out on a wonderful note!
