Good evening everyone! I see you have all been somewhat busy while I've been playing LOL.
Lisa, planting mums in the pumpkins sounds like such a great idea!! I may have to steal that one for next year. It's getting pretty cold to be planting them now. I do want to carve a pumpkin though. I have a stencil of a boxer face. Everyone says I'm boxer crazy. I think I have to agree with them LOL.
Carol, sounds as though you've had a full day! Sorry to hear about your friend. I'll say some prayers for her. I really need to get my prayer notebook started.
Kate, I'm lucky with Tyson. He doesn't bother anything on the shelves or try to eat treats. He just wants to be the main greeter of anyone or any dogs that come in. He wants to play with them all. He had such a good time. We try to take him once in a while. The closest store is about 45 minutes away, so he doesnt' get to go as much as I'd like to take him. We got his coat though. Really nice. It is wool lined, so it will keep him warm. I'll post a video we took of him. We were going to get him some doggie boots, so we tried them on first. This video is sooo funny!!
Nat, still praying for you mom. As for your son and the canidae, I hate to say it, but you probably have it also. When my girls were born, I had it and they had it in their mouths. Now they get it ******lly also. I know coconut oil is good for helping get rid of it. And I'm thinking fish oil too. If you can get the ph just right, canidae can't survive. Maybe even apple cider vingegar pills may help.
Nell, my dad absolutely loves Christmas. He always has. I was on our walk lastnight, and just looking in the windows of all the stores we pass through town. In one store window is Thanksgiving decorations, the other window is Christmas decorations. I am with Robin in the aspect of too much commercialization, is that a word? LOL. I try to get all my shopping done on Black Friday. Ya, I'm one of those crazy people. Our
Walmart is only about 3 miles away, so I tackle it first, then Staples,which is right across the parking lot, then come home to drop off everything, then to the mall. There is JC Penny, Kmart, Sears, and Bon Ton. I made a killing last year at Sears. I got all of Mike's tools really cheap there. Then I have the rest of the month to sit back and just enjoy the season. I used to have a Christmas tape I absolutely loved. It was a male singer with a deep baratone voice. He sang mostly Christian songs. One of them is to the tune of the 12 days of Christmas, but the song says for instance, "the first day of Christmas, Jesus gave to me, a body whole and free. It is such a relaxing beautiful tape. He also did The Little Drummer Boy. It is my favorite Christmas tune. The way he sings it actually brings tears to my eyes. I wish I could find that tape or find out who sings it. I would buy everyone it to listen to.
Bev, hope you had a blast at the ghost walk. I don't really care for haunted houses and the such. But I think I wouldn't mind a ghost walk. I'd know they are kids and maybe be more fun. Just don't like being scared. I know, I'm a baby!! LOL
Pam, just wanting to say hi to ya!!!
Cindy, Hi!! Good job in all your deep cleaning. Can you come help me with mine when your done?
Laura, sorry you're so tired today. Remember to take care of yourself!! If you can zap us for NOT exercising, we can zap you for doing TOO MUCH!! LOL. Please take it easy tomorrow, don't need you getting sick! To post pictures, I put them on FB or on photobucket then just copy and paste the site address. Hope it helps a bit.
Laura, good night. I hope you have a very restful sleep tonight.

We need a zapper "smiley"! It sounds like you are getting enough excercise for both of us!
I can't figure out how to post pictures. Anybody
I love your Xmas tradition, what a lovely way to be together with your family
I got my work done and made two dinners. I opened the over to cook dinner and forgot I was defrosting a picnic ham, so now I have dinner for two nights ready. 
I'm also a total neat freak, so I never really have any "deep cleaning" to do, just kind of keep it up all the time...OMG I think I need to RELAX...ever since Mom's been here she likes to putter around and do the vac and dust thing, so thats a few less things for me to do...as long as she stays away from my laundry! 
I cannot imagine what horrors she could work there! Looked in there one day and she had towels, sweatshirts, undies, khakis, and her church clothes all in the same load...I almost fainted on the spot!
