Pumpkin Carving party

Our friend Nancy hosted a pumpkin carving party over the weekend.  I had never carved a pumpkin before, In the past I have  always painted and glittered my pumpkins. Very messy but lots of fun, everyone took the carving experience very seriously, all of the pumpkins came out pretty awesome.  My Pumpkin was dedicated to Pablo Picasso and it was a joint effort.

Shades of Pink

 Paying homage to the significant impact cancer has among people of color, a special exhibit, entitled "Shades of Pink" featuring the personal journeys of nine, local African- American women, on display at the Spady museum in Delray.   Designed to help the public recognize October, breast cancer awareness month and celebrate survivors.  

Our friend Michiko Kurisu was the photographer for this exhibit.  We went out to support her but ended up making friends and learning a lot about the people in our own community.

It's October....

So of course we went to Oktoberfest.  German food, giant pretzels, big beer how can you not.  

Nothing like really happy people in your picture

October Brunch...

..at The alchemist gastropub in downtown west palm.  Because of the dark interior and the way we were seated it was hard to move around and get good pictures + I forgot.  We've frequented The Alchemist at night but this was the first brunch for all of us.
