Happy Halloween from Okinawa!

Happy Halloween, Brandon!

Happy Halloween, Brandon!

Brandon and I went down to American Village to check out their costume contest and grab a bite to eat.  (Check out some of the costumes we saw in our photo gallery.)  It rained off and on, so there wasn't as big of a turn out as predicted, but it was still fun.  Maybe next year we'll go dressed in costume.  :)

Happy Halloween to you all!

Halloween Cookies

As part of my on-going "Dessert Diplomacy" efforts, I made these cute Halloween spider cookies.  They are frosted and decorated Double Chocolate Chunk Cookies.  Brandon says they taste good.  (I don't like chocolate cookies, so I've only sampled the frosting, which I can say tastes "delicious!")

Megumi's lunch - minestrone soup, clam chowder, a squid ink roll, a butter roll, and "white soda."

Megumi and I had a wonderful lunch at Soup Soup on the second floor of Max Furniture and right across from Today!OK.  And no, I'm not kidding.

We had a wonderful, albeit, whirlwind of a trip to PA for Joy's wedding.  Between squeezing in some appointments, speed shopping, and dress fittings, we were able to catch up with some of my family and friends.  We even got to watch a Steelers game on TV with Mimi and Pappy!  (Steelers won!  Yay!)

And now, for the main reason we were back in PA in October - Joy's wedding!  We were so happy to be able to be there to celebrate Joy and Sean's big day in person!  It was so wonderful to get to see the Entwistle family again, and meet Sean's family, as well.
