Fall Festival, Market, & Concert in the Park.

On the third weekend in October, you can count on several events each year: The St. Raphael fall festival and the Pops Concert in the Park. Allan and I look forward to these all year long! We love being outdoors with family and friends, great music, good food, rides, and fireworks!

Wine time on Friday night at the fall festival. Dave and Linda's second visit to the fair!

Look at me! One for each hand. A cool treat for a warm evening!

Fun photo booth. We did end up on Facebook!

The next morning we set out early for the Saturday morning market. Found a yummy breakfast waffle. Bananas and cream!

Beautiful fresh sunflowers in the vegetable stand.

We went shopping for dinner to take to the park. We found empanada's - in chicken and blue crab, fresh salad fixin's, fresh local honey( for a pretzel dip) and Halloween brownies! Just added wine, and cheese and crackers. What a feast!

Dave and Linda came back the next night for our favorite downtown St. Pete event. The concert was fantastic, as always! Wine and good food and thousands of cheering music lovers!

Allan getting into the spirit! Cheers!

The sky always lights up with fireworks after the 1812 Overture!

Viewing through a rainbow filter lens - this is what I saw:

Can't wait til next year!

Fall mountain trip

It's a little over a month til my sorority reunion trip to Asheville, North Carolina. We have reserved White Stone Lake Manor for all of us during our five - day stay. We will be able to enjoy the surrounding area, including the Biltmore Estate, FSU football via TV, and relaxing with college friends. Fun over wine, home cooked meals, and group outings! I look forward to this event all year!

My favorite jeans jacket has never gone to this reunion group before, so I know it will be a hit. I plan on wearing it on the plane on the way.

Also, my new Brighton satchel I got as a bonus from work will be traveling there. I even scored the matching wallet! Will also be wearing my new "Bobs"!

Found this cute paisley tunic and legging jeans on sale. Tunic is cozy, soft knit and leggings have traditional jeans top-stitching.

For evenings out, I got this peasant knit sweater top. Will look great with jeans or black velvet skinny pants.

Now, if only the fall weather would come!
