Mayor Kim Wolfe's Reception at the Radisson

I attended the election party for Kim Wolfe at the Radisson Hotel. There was so much excitement in the air. Huntington has a new mayor.

From the news:

"Current Cabell County Sheriff Kim Wolfe defeated incumbent Mayor David Felinton by over two thousand votes. This ends Felinton's eight year tenure as the city's mayor.Wolfe says he ran his campaign on unity, and that's what he plans to do when he takes over. Until then, he will serve out his term as county sheriff, while working with Huntington City Council so he can hit the ground running after inauguration." Matt and Red Dawson discuss the election.

Nathan Cron and Leigh-Ann catch up

The gang - notice Mayor Wolfe at the door

The votes are in: "Kim Wolfe is Mayor of Huntington!!!"

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween 2008. I hosted a Halloween Party for all my ASL students and the Deaf community. We had about 50 - 60 folks show up and I think everyone had an enjoyable time. Check out the pics below . . .

I carved this little guy. I named him Chessy - kinda reminds me of a Cheshire cat.

My Deaf friend, John at the party. Go Phillies!!

A new Sherrif's in town.

Want some Kitty Poo? Litter for lunch? Gross!

Julius Ceaser - Kenny is in ASL II

Virginia holds the Flower Baby, her mommy is in ASL I.

I made these horrid monster fingers and this crazy gingerbread haunted house - never again. It took 4 days to complete. I made it from scratch and all materials were edible.

I made the eyeball cupcakes too!

Here is Jeremy, our "cereal killer" . . . one of the deaf ladies said, "Bless his heart, he died while eating all that cereal." We didn't try to explain :) For those of you who know the Deaf - you should smile.

I baked a pineapple upside down cake. It was yummy!
I also made the bones below and we dipped them in blood (marinara sauce).

The ladies check out the litter.

"Bad boys, Bad boys, whatcha gonna do when we come for you?"
