Bon Jovi, Halloween goodies and Bus Driver Appreciation

On Friday, a friend of mine from work, Crystal, got VIP tickets to the Bon Jovi concert in Gulf Shores, Ala. With 35,000 people in attendance on the beach, VIP meant we got to close enough to actually see the band, but that was about it. But since we only paid $10.50 for each ticket, it was well worth it!

Extreme Makeover: Home Edition is in Pensacola this week, creating a whole new house for a local family. Pen Air will be a meal sponsor on Friday evening, barbecuing hot dogs and hamburgers for the 300+ volunteer crew. This is a photo from the kickoff event held at the University of West Florida on Tuesday.

The boys got some Halloween surprises this weekend: cards socks and goodies from Grandma Nancy and G.G.

This week is Hellen Caro's Bus Driver Appreciation Week and a few suggestions were sent home for each day. A flower, a sweet treat, a thank you note, a smile, etc., so Will and I created a paper flower (they last longer) and he wrote a thank you note. He's looking forward to giving Mrs. Pat a different thing each day.
