While wandering through the garden, we had a delightful surprise – Mr. Hummingbird came to visit us! Although he is difficult to spot, he perched himself for a few seconds, and I quickly grabbed my trusty iPhone to capture some shots.
Do you see it?
We had a doctor’s appointment at St. Joseph’s. Afterward, we decided to visit the Z’s and see how they were doing. They are doing just fine!
Listening to the guitar somewhere in Spain!
We picked some fruit at the Z’s as they were about to get “overripe.” The fruit was delicious.
A vegan told me, “People who sell meat are disgusting!” I said, “People who sell fruits and vegetables are grocer.”
At the Z’s checking things out!
After arriving home, we decorated with Halloween items before heading to the lodge at 5:30 for dinner and dancing. Bob and Robin joined us, as did Brenda and Irene!
The Lodge had a 1970s band this evening.
We discussed the Halloween party at the Elks and what we would dress up as. Since Nick enjoys Batman so much, we decided to go with the Batman theme. We picked out our characters and ordered the costumes online!
Nick as TheRiddler! He started all this crazy activity!!
The Penguin is a Gotham City mobster who fancies himself the number one “Gentleman of Crime.” He is most often seen wearing a monocle, top hat, and morning suit while carrying his signature umbrella. The character appears most times as a short, fat man with a long nose. Penguin uses high-tech umbrellas as different tools. His umbrellas have been used as guns, gas, swords/knives, a mini-helicopter, and many other unconventional tools. The Penguin owns and runs a nightclub called the Iceberg Lounge, which provides a cover for his criminal activity.
Paul as The Penguin
Poison Ivy is another female Batman character who wasn’t born with her powers. A former Gotham City Botanist, Poison Ivy was transformed after a laboratory accident. Obsessed with plants, flowers, and all things nature, Poison Ivy is Gotham’s most famous eco-terrorist. One of the many female characters who uses her hyper-sexual charms to her advantage, she is also a fearless tactician and a thorn in Batman’s side.
Mary as Poison Ivy!
Having these two individuals present can enhance the enjoyment of any social gathering.
Branda and Irene had a good time.
Just little ol’ us having a wonderful time with family and friends.
Just us!
The band was average for a 1970s-1980s group, but their music wasn’t our style. Additionally, their sound was too loud for our taste.
Go, music, go!
On our way home, we stopped at Ace’s and played music for the crowds. We ran into Skylar again and bought him a beer.
