Wow!  What a fabulous party in EVERY sense of the word!  It's great to have Craig and Shelly home!  It was so good to see the family all together - even the kids, Craig's Dad and brother - what a terrific day!  It's great to finally get to meet so many of our Blog Family!  You heard it over and over --- "so YOU're Carol Bleisch! or Tom Talbot! or Wayne (the gourmet chef) Luedke!"  I honestly think every last person had a good time.  Set up and clean up was just as much fun with a lot of people helping.  I'm still smiling just thinking about the whole weekend!  And it didn't hurt one bit to have the Cardinals victory right in the middle of it all...

Thanks Martha for posting the Halloween picture.  Tom called tonight and we chatted about how he didn't recognize all the folks in the picture, but he sure knew all the stories.  Like Scott and Britni on the far right - that's our son and new daughter-in-law whose wedding we were all raving about back in September.  Next to Britni is Becky Clapper, who's hot tub was the beginning of the night we discovered the Redneck On-Star trick.  See Tom, you really DO know everyone in the picture.  Small world...

I'd love to see a bunch of pictures from the party.  Tom set up the partypics@craigkozicki.com mailbox, so please send your pix to share.  Here's one of my favorites from "the Hoot".  Remember how Tom and Alec do the secret MARF bracelet handshake to generate energy for Craig?  Here's a whole bunch of energy for you Craig...



Hugs and kisses!
