November Fun

AKA THE GEOGRAM WEEKLY... 

This time of year seasons/holidays quickly morph one into the next.  After returning to VC from Indianapolis I enjoyed PNW autumn!

On a rainy Nov. 2 night Zach and I went on a hunt for pumpkins.  I didn't buy any before Halloween and they seem to evaporate the next day... After a 4 store hunt we found these 2 large ones, abandoned in a huge cardboard bin outside a store.  They were still worth money to the store, 

All for the sake of....

PUMPKIN SEEDS!  Tasty when roasted...

A few days later great granddaughter Rosie came to visit a couple days. We had found a bunch of cheap pumpkins from a small farm so had a decorating party!   AND  roasted pumpkin seeds!!

A next day quick noon indoor picnic with Grandma Deb and Auntie Micaela

And a bungee ride at the local mall...

It's always fun to walk along the VC waterfront even on a chilly evening in between rains...

Zach had the time available so invited me for an excursion...

checking out the sights and sounds under the I-5 bridge crossing the Columbia River

A little autumn beauty....

I've never eaten at Who-Song and Larry's. Now's a good time to check it out...Zach is happy...so is Gram.
