Live to be 100...


Good Monday morning all!  I hope you had a fabulous weekend!  I am just stopping in with a personal post this morning.  Saturday night was our first Rigadoon meeting.  Rigadoon is a dance group that meets four times a year, of which three are formal.  There is a social hour, dinner, and then dancing.   Todd and I don't dance...yet.  We have always wanted to take lessons together and this will just prompt us to do it.  It was really a nice night out and I think I make my husband look very young, don't you agree?  Smiley from millan.net It was a Halloween themed dance and the decorations were quite fun.  The only thing that would have made my outfit Halloween is the red shoes I had on...they almost looked like ruby slippers and I love them but for whatever, silly reason, I did not get a picture of them.

In other news...our family will be increasing by one soon!  Yep, that is right...I'm going to have a daughter!  My oldest son, Scott, has proposed marriage to his girlfriend, Ashley, and she said yes!  So exciting!  This is a photo of them after Scott's college graduation last summer.  Awww...aren't they cute?I'm sure you'll get lots of updates of the wedding progress as the winter/spring goes on.  I believe they are wanting a summer 2012 wedding. 

Well, that is it for today.  Tomorrow is the Doodle Pantry November new release so I hope you will stop back for that!  Have a wonderful Monday everyone!

Thought of the day:  In the spirit of the impending nuptials, a Winnie the Pooh quote:  If you live to be a 100, I hope to live to be 100 minus 1 day, so I never have to live without you.
