Happy Halloween!

Witchfest at Gardner Village
A purple witch with a purple umbrella captured my attention and heart is about 5 seconds after spying her at Gardner Village in South Jordan, or West Jordan, or Utah's Jordan, or where all the cars are at. 
Another love was the big nose, big hat witch all alone with no one waiting to take a picture of. She might have been my favorite, but I am not sure.

Here I am with Ash and Tania. We work together for Dr T. We decided to get out of the Basin and head to the big city dressed as witches. As you can see I need to work on my costume. These girls sure outshine me!  I was in need of a good fun girls night out. Scott and I have tons of fun and tons of nights out. I cherish them! There is something recharging or spiritually aligning about women spending time with women. It is something we need. I think Heavenly Father knew this and that is why Relief Society is such a successful and long running women's club. I am serious here! We need a time and place to get together and share and learn and talk and laugh and cry and hurt and cheer and support each other! 
Many times women and girls have gotten on my nerves, but even I can appreciate a good night out!

This witch had some beloved geese floating down the river with her. I was quite jealous! I love the whole Huck Finn thing going on here!
I love geese. And when they flew overhead I tried to hurry and get a pic and I only got five. There were so many and I had a moment of Portland homesickness. 
All in all Gardner Village did not disappoint  Not only were the witch displays amazing and entertaining the cute shops were so fun to pop into and try to avoid spending money! It was hard. I did not succeed and came home with great prizes and a face full of glitter--and maybe a whole car of glitter from everyone else and the bottle of fairy dust ha ha ha
Before my witch adventure I was stung by a hornet. I have been stung by the before and hate them. They just sting. My sting got bigger and bigger as the days went on. This is 24 hours later.

This is 36 hours later. By the end the hot red welt went from my shoulder to my elbow. It was hot and sting-gy and itchy. It was just miserable. I am kind of afraid of what my next hornet sting will be like. YIKES!
