Tessa's Place

Puyallup Fair with Grandma and Poppa
While Val was in Nashville for the MOPS convention, Tessa stayed with Grandma and Poppa.
They went to the Puyallup Fair on September 22nd.

Dog Bite
On September 29th, Val was attacked by the neighbor's pit bull. The bite on her leg didn't
break the skin too badly but was bruised and sore for weeks. This picture
of the inside of Val's left knee was taken about a week after the attack.

Point Defiance Zoo
My friend Michele and I met at the zoo on a teacher workshop Friday in mid October.

Shilpa and I- October 29th
I've known Shilpa since we were neighbors as kids. She now lives in southern California but was in the Seattle
area on business so I drove up to have lunch before she caught her flight for home.
We asked some random guy outside Olive Garden to take our picture and it was really windy
so this isn't particularly good of either of us. Oh well.

Carving the Pumpkin
Our trip to the pumpkin patch was kind of a last minute afterthought the Saturday before Halloween.
Thankfully the weather was beautiful. We even got to do our carving outside this year.

Our neighbor Pam goes all out for Halloween. People come from far and wide, year after year to see her display
so every year it gets a little bigger. She should keep track of how many hours she spends putting it all together.
