Oct. Thus Far

So far Oct. been a very busy month!
It started out with the online Virtual goat show I'm in charge of, so I had that to get done.

And we had the Fort Vancouver student selection day, that went really well!
Plenty of new students, I'm looking forward to meeting them all. 😄

Then last week our grandparents came up. For the 2nd time this year!!
They've NEVER come up twice in a year before!
Grandpa helped do some stuff on the house, he and I put up a new ceiling fan in our new living room.
And he and dad did a bunch of other stuff, new lights, light switches, etc.
Now we need to pick out flooring and get trim up and the living room will be done!
We had lots of fun while Grandma and Grandpa were here.
We played Phase 10, Golf (the card game), 10,000 (dice game), and a few board games like Aggravation and Sorry.
We also played Life, I lost, as usual. 😑😉

Oh! On the 1st of the month, we came home from church to find some guy had taken our mailbox and post out!
He had stolen the car and was on the run. The police are guessing he knew the area because he tried to go down the drive next to ours to shake the police as there is a curve in the main road right before our driveway.
Anyways he came in too fast and.....


See the brick in the first pic? That's a piece from the 2 ft. wide 3 ft. high brick base our mailbox sat on.
He took it out right at the ground! Broke it in 3-4 pieces!! There was one large piece farther down too!
After he went through our mailbox, he took out 5 of our arborvitae bushes as well.
But the car wasn't totaled! And the guy got out and ran away! They didn't catch him!
They even brought out the K-9. Nothing.....

Oh, well. At least no one was hurt. 😌

Not much going on the rest of the month for us, we have a fashion show we're going to be in on Saturday.
No other Fort stuff for us this month besides that, we're busy the first night of Lantern Tour.
So we'll go do it next month.

It's been an interesting week for me so far.
Monday I caught a feral kitten at our neighbors as we need a barn cat.
Bit the heck out of my right thumb! Ouch! Blood everywhere. Oh, sorry, hope that wasn't TMI?
Hurt like the dickens! But it seems to be doing alright, both my thumb and the kitten. 😉
Caught another kitten too, it bit Megs, but not so bad as my bites. (she only had 2 cuts and a scratch)
Then last night I sliced my other thumb making dinner. Darn Kitchen Aid spiral veggie noodle maker.
Not much blood and pain was almost nonexistent strangely enough, way bigger cut too the ones the kitten did. Weird....
So far I've made it through today with no blood! 😋

Hope you're all having a great month so far!

Photography

Last week I was asked by my professional photography friend to be her second shooter at a wedding!!
It was my second time and so much fun! :D

Sarah loves to do weddings and is very good at photography and is willing to gives me tips!
If you'd like to see some of her photo's you can go to her FB page.
I don't do FB, but I can see business FB pages, so I get to see hers. :D

The wedding was at a place called Lucy's Garden in Ridgefield. It's such a pretty place!!!

I was able to get lots of good photos and thought I'd share some of my favorites. :)
Oh, I haven't edited any of the pictures, except for a a little cropping on one or two, so they're straight of my camera. ;)

The bride & groom

The grounds were so pretty there!

The rings, I thought the grooms ring was pretty cool looking! :D

Walking down the isle after the ceremony
I don't know why, but some of the pictures look a little bit blurry on here.... weird.....

The wedding was sweet and the couple looked so happy!!
The bride was a widow and the groom had never married so everyone was very happy for them both. :)


Except for that happening, nothing much exciting has happened, been busy on my work, finally got it done so can take a break! Yay!!

Yesterday our friend James C. came over and helped us do some fencing.
Got the first side done and both posts where the gate will go in!!
Hoping it will be nice again next week so we can get the rest of the fence up and the gate in. :)

This afternoon a "Columbus Day" like storm is supposed to come in and is said to possibly last through Saturday!
Hoping it won't be to bad, already lost power for an hour this morning and it wasn't even windy!!

Have a great rest of the week everyone!
