Hurricane Sandy was a non-event in Charlottesville, but the whole city shut down anyway, so we had the whole day yesterday to read, lounge about, drink tea, and watch inordinate amounts of TV. I’m not complaining. I started writing our Christmas cards and painted my nails and finished two books. A productive hibernation.
Thinking about my fellow East Coasters who were not so lucky. Hope that power is restored soon and that you all remain warm and safe!
Saturday night, we attended the latter half of a Halloween progressive party. (A party that progresses from house to house, not a party that supports liberal politicians in costume.)
We went as Emily Dickinson and Mitt-ROM-knee:
We also saw “American Gothic” (faithfully recreated by Hannah and Ethan):
50 Shades of Grey and Rosie the Riveter (Celeste and Emily):
And your middle-school yearbook photo (Casey):
We have creative friends.
Little Stories 
Ahhh! Such great costumes!! We put very little thought into costumes for us, these days. But, David says every year that he is going to be Harry Potter. Every. year. Not creative. ; )
And you make a gorgeous Emily Dickenson.
This is incredible. Hahahaha.
Guion looks so pleased with himself in that first picture.
