Greg and I got together with some friends last night to carve Halloween pumpkins. We had a good time, and Greg did a great job carving our pumpkin (it's a wolf with a moon in the background). Enjoy these pics!
I have taken a new job with The Biltmore Company, and Friday is my last day at UNCA. When I told my coworkers that I was leaving, they said that they would miss me AND my cakes. So, they are giving me a going away lunch tomorrow, and I will surprise them with my very own going away cake! I wrote a silly message on top to be funny (they will get it), but it's definitely not my prettiest cake. At least it will taste good!
I had another cake decorating class tonight, and learned how to make basket weave using icing. Someone in my department at work is leaving tomorrow, so I wrote a message to her on the cake, and will take it to work for everyone. I think I'm getting better....
I've been taking a cake decorating class at a local community college, and decorated my first cake tonight. I know it doesn't look like much, but I'm very proud of it! More to come...
Granny was in town this weekend, and we all drove to Flat Rock to visit Sky Top Orchard. We enjoyed a hayride around the orchard, fresh apple donuts, and picking out a Halloween pumpkin. We left tired, but with freshly-picked apples and some good pictures.
Bob and Melanie Roberson came to visit on Sunday, so we had a family picnic in Mama's neighborhood. Dave and Jean came, too, and a couple of Mama's friends stopped by. Jacky had a good time on the slide, and Mae enjoyed being held and eating melba toast.
We spent the weekend in Atlanta and had a fun time. We went to an outdoor festival, where Connor enjoyed the petting zoo, the inflatable games, and a airbrush tattoo of Alabama elephants (too bad they didn't help us win the game). Greg taught Connor a few chords on the guitar, too.
