PAM'S BIG DAY IN HALLOWEEN LAND
Welcome to Halloween Land....is the "witchy message" you get when you visit Sarah and Sam Kent of Limpia Crossing. Sarah has 6 or 7 bins of Halloween "stuff" she keeps in storage only to have it come out and end up in every nook and cranny of their house. It's great!
We went down for dinner with Sam and Sarah on the 9th of this month....Pam's birthday. Sam made a southern fried chicken dinner with garlic mashed potatoes.....talk about good....I made a loaf of sweet butter bread to go with dinner and Sarah, bless her heart, made this huge, 3 layer spice cake with THREE cans of butter frosting on top and between the layers. YUMMY!!!
Here Sarah and Sam welcome the birthday girl.
Halloween decorations on a corner table.....many lighted with candles....note the Halloween art hanging on the walls too!!
Dracula's cape hangs in the corner.....he is out and about biting far west Texas necks.
Sarah really gets into the spirit.
The Halloween pumpkin complete with witches hat.
Back to the birthday party.....here is the cake Sarah made, complete with candelabra....and a home made gift for the birthday girl.
Pam blowing out the candles.....hurry....cut the cake...Sam and I are waiting!
Halloween even made the "Deity Shelf"....good stuff!
It was a great night with the Kents.....as usual. We had many a good laugh, sang to the birth day girl and enjoyed a chiminea fire on the patio after dinner.
My favorite Halloween-scape is Sam's matinee case, all decked out with funky stuff Sarah put together.
Happy Halloween.....and Happy Birthday, Pammy!

EARLY FALL IN THE DAVIS MOUNTAINS
Was it something we said.....?
Miss Ali sticking her tongue out at us...well!
Ali and her pal Velik...(velik means "giant" in slavic). Veronica stops by to let Velik and Ali romp around a bit. He is a 4 year old English Mastiff...who outweighs Ali by some 70 pounds!
Pam talking with Veronica (right) and Sarah and Sam Kent, our neighbors and good friends. We will miss Veronica and Velik... they are moving soon to Oregon.
Sam and Sarah "horsing around" with Velik. Sam and Sarah have a 10 year old English Bulldog named The General. But he doesn't like other dogs so he is either left home or in the car.
The Mini sitting outside the Jeff Davis County Courthouse.
The drive from Alpine, TX north to Fort Davis is a gorgeous one.
The "altiplano" (high plain) on the south side of Fort Davis.
Looking West at days end. The pad to the left and the 2nd set of RV hookups are for friends Larry and Lainie when they visit.
Another great sunset over the Davis Mountains.
