Townsend Reno, Halloween, Donna Clark Obit

Tom and Janet are making progress on the Townsend Homestead Reno.  Here's a few more photos.  Halloween was well celebrated.  The kids (big and little) dressed up and enjoyed the fun, while I observed a birthday with two beautiful bouquets.

Donna Clark passed away on October 31, after battling cancer for 7 years.  A good friend gone too soon.
