Update: March 6th, 2016.
After a very very long year of learning to live a new life with my most recent handicap. I am getting movement in my arm!! :) It started the end of August and has been progressing, slowly. My issues with paranioia and depression are also getting better. I am confident that things will continue to progress. However, loosing a whole YEAR of my life is devastating to say the least. However, keeping a positive attitude for the most part has been a huge challenge, but I do it. I am grateful to all my family and friends that have been so encouraging and helpful. Thank you..

Halloween Saturday!! Ernie & Shirley’s

Ernie & Shirley planned their annual (4th) Halloween Party many months in advance. I remember back in early September getting an invitation from Ernie via email.
Shirley goes all out in her decorating.. It is wonderful and of course they are always adding new and exciting creatures!
They are amazing hosts! When I say they go all out they go all out! Shirley does a bountiful array of finger foods/fruits/desserts as well as ham/sausages/wings/etc.. Guests do bring sides as well to add to the already variety of culinary creativity! 

Our hosts below, Ernie & Shirley

Ernie is an expert craftsmen. He builds very detailed bird houses! Bird feeders, bird house for one family all the way up to log cabin type/hotel type that hold many bird families! The detail is incredible! Ernie has been building these “master pieces” for years and he always donates them for raffles or just as a gift for the best costume at their Halloween parties. Of course they have other wonderful parties throughout the year that they also give out as a door prize. Very generous gift! This year was no different at the Halloween party, a lovely log cabin type of bird house went for the best costume, whom just happen to be Keith. He was dressed as a “cheerleader”.. A very “riskay” costume for a man to wear.. He did have a “partner” in crime” so to speak, Chad.. Oh my they were so funny! There was also another Hotel type Bird House that was a door prize. Incredible! Chad is always the “MC” at Ernie & Shirley’s parties. He loves getting on the “mike” making people laugh, embarrassing, making harassing comments,etc.. he loves it!! You can just tell.
John “Z” (Zimmerman) is our music for the evening. He always does a great job! This year he added a wonderful lady, Karen.. She has a lovely voice and is very fun.
A great evening again! Thank you Ernie & Shirley!!
