The Gum Tree for 2006 October 22

Today we received a flyer advertising the ward halloween party. We spent a minute discussing what we ought to dress up as, and came to the conclusion that I (Louise) should be Bow Peep. Our laughter erupted when of course the next natural assumption was that Joe would be the sheep! I can't wait to see him sporting his wooly ears! The idea came from Uncle Fred (yes, I have an Uncle Fred) who we visited on our trip to Australia earlier in the year. Upon seeing me for the first time using my long cane, he greeted me by asking in his thick-to-barely-intelligible Brittish brogue, "Where's yer sheep?" The characterization has kind of stuck since then.
