Last night we went to the Dickens Holiday fete in downtown Fayetteville. It is the kickoff to their Christmas season and the lighting of their lights up and down the Main Street.
This was a pretty church we saw coming into town.
Pansies are blooming here!
Everyone got a candle to hold...
There was a parade down the Main Street with bagpipes, a horse drawn carriage and people dressed up as Dickens characters.
There were throngs of people; at some point their was a countdown from 10 to one, and everybody held their candles up...
...and on one the lights came on and the fireworks began!
Steve saw this sign as we were making our way back to our car...

It sounds like you are having a great time. Too bad about your scooter. The pictures you took are beautiful. We have never been in that area. Looks like a nice place to visit.
Harry is coming along pretty well. He is up and walking around without the walker. They had him walking up stairs yesterday. Tomorrow he goes to see the surgeon in Hartford. He still has the packing and the wound vac on so we will see what the Dr. says tomorrow. They said he can come home with the wound vac but I don't think it is a good idea. But we have to do what the Dr. says. They said that a visiting nurse would come in every other day to change the dressing and wound vac. So glad you guys are finally where it is warm. Hasn't been too bad up here. Today is kind of rainy but the temp is 41. Take care and I will keep up with you on Facebook and the blog. Love to you both. Bea & Harry.
Thanks for your news! A big hug for Harry! Good news...the scooter is acting fine now! Maybe something got kicked up into the motor but then fell out? Anyway it's back to it's normal self!
