First Fabulous Weekend in November
We even got a tad of cool in the air here in Florida this past weekend. Halloween night was nippy and fun with little goblins running amok in our neighborhood until we gave away the last piece of chocolate (we only give the good stuff :-), turned out the lights and retreated to our local Italian place to escape the complaining of our cats who were not happy about being kept inside.
What a gorgeous chamber-of-commerce day it was on Saturday ~ perfect for visiting the annual Halifax Art Show on Beach Street along the river. Captain Hubby & I saw this fish at the same time and decide on the spot we had to have him – he fits so well in our house it looks like he was made just for us.

Let’s say his price was reasonable. Besides being too perfect to pass up, we considered him our anniversary gift to each other. Yup ~ Sunday marked 17 years married (and over 20 together). Jeez~ What youngsters we were!

He’s still my best pal and treats me like a princess without taking any guff from me, ha ha. We’re usually on the same page ~ we even got each other the same anniversary card this year! We celebrated Saturday night by going to Raku, one of our favorite sushi spots.

Sunday was rainy off and on, but we went down to the boat anyway so Captain Hubby could test out his dinghy repairs and we had a nice lunch at one of those fish places on the inlet. Our friend, Martha, cook extraordinaire, treated us to a home cooked meal in our own home Sunday night ~ what a treat that was!
All in all, it was one of the nicest weekends in memory.
