Have a great Halloween everyone...……..

Too much time on my hands today so I booked our stay for next September...I blame you Carole since you were talking about booking your flights and it made me want to have something to look forward to....now I have 8 nights at Sapphire Falls starting September 10 ...wish we could go later but the guys APs expire on the 18th. Hopefully it won't be as hot as this year.

I can't imagine staying for a month...it would be awesome

Fantastic news Vicki!!!!! Glad you`ve got next year`s trip in the bag already...….

We arrive Sept 3rd and leave Oct 2nd...….

Ah, have 1 to 9 October booked at RPR, may do 3, 4 or 5 nights with Mickey before that. Sad, will miss Tink again, but one of these days, and totally understand getting the most of the AP.

Woot, today is Halloween, and a nice one too. Foggy start to the day, but now the sun is providing a light golden sky, and we'll be in the 60's, with the rain holding off until tomorrow. Perfect for trick for treating. Candy bars ready, and I'll be pumpkin carving as soon as I get home. Little one expects me to clean her pumpkin out. Eh, don't care. Will get older one to to turn on the oven and bring out a sheet pan. We'll roast the seeds with some flavored salt, and yum when toasted.

But, lest you all homies forget, today is Wednesday, and that means: . Yep, camel for Keisha and others who need to see that this is the hump day of the work week, where weekend is then 2 days closer when Wednesday ends. Happy Spooky Hump Day to all.

And, forget tea, will be going to get coffee soon. Just that kinda day.

Have a great Halloween Wednesday all!

Good morning everyone. I like to start out this day like I do every year by saying happy birthday to Juliette Gordon Low. Anyone else here a Girl Scout or the parent of one? I was never a scout, but B had been once since first grade.

Also Happy Halloween! I saw my Facebook post from last year and we actually had 10 kids come by, not the 5 or 6 that I thought. I need to get some more candy.

I get te get to work, but I will leave you with 2 of my favorite costumes from the past.

My favorite:

Happy Halloween all

Still watching forecast hoping bulk of showers thru by 4 pm so I can bring out the big guns/animatronics


Sniff, sniff it’s not fall leaves but trips i smell in the SANS air

Oh la la cul de sacs...dead ends are cooler sounding, but admittedly harder to turn ‘round the car lol.

Thanks Mac so much, it means a lot!... Yes it is bursting. It was not so long ago that I thought she would never talk let alone end up in typical classes or get awards. She has made leaps and bounds with overcoming her Asperger's challenges. We are over the moon proud of her. We know that she will be successful and happy in life and that is all we can ask for.

Thanks Lynne ... I hope your coffee run was good! Hope she feels better.

Inspirational to read, congrats

Janet hope the rain stays off for your HHN too!!! Love the old monster meme!!!

Love seeing all your cool decorations...….

We will leave our gates open tonight for a while, but where we live we don't get many kids around our way......our closest neighbour brings the grand kids and one close by neighbour has two young daughters, I make up special bags just for them....full of nicer stuff if I`m honest..…..

But, we don't go crazy for it over here yet...….except that one woman in the village...….she goes over the top every single year and it looks amazing and different every time...….she does a brilliant job.

We have a carved pumpkin outside in the outside porch area...…..that's it.

And we are planning to watch Halloween tonight...….maybe not the best idea......but hey ho...….

Dry and cold here...…..

Making snack items for dinner tonight...….crab cakes, Duck spring rolls, made some potato salad, spicy chicken drumsticks and thighs and some spicy fruity cous cous……..felt like a picnic night.

Have a great Halloween everyone...…...

busy busy days. Monday was all day work then straight to social for club-where we made beer, for our christmas party. So much fun, but I am pretty sure by end of night the brewmasters thought we were crazy LOL!
Missed taco tuesday as it was run, run ,run night-band celebration, soccer, and DH had final meeting for big Wingapalooza this saturday.
Work slow today, most staff in costumes.

Liv was called down today to the principal (she was freaking out and crying by the way ) but when she got there the principal told her she was unanimously chosen by the board to receive the award for her school this year.

Off for a couple days and miss this HUGE news!! WOW and congratulations to Liv!!!!!

Lynne knows me well

Chalupas tonight, ole!

I have Mojo pork in crockpot for tonight, and makings for Cubans tomorrow night with leftovers...

I went by my house on my lunch hour. I now have deck rails and the start of a staircase.

Nice!! Can't wait to start on our deck. Maybe next year??

- okay, MonyK, couldn't resist. LOL

Well this weekend is a chicken wing cooking comp so....
Went to check the monsters this am-middle opened run door when she left for bus. Was still dark then, but light by time I was ready to leave. Gray and chilly out though but the girls usually come out around this time. Nope-they were happily snuggled on roosting bar in their box/coop. Guess they aren't fans of this dreary weather either

Staying for a MONTH!!!!

How fun!!

Suppose I should get back to work. Think only oldest is going TnT tonight, with his friend. We give out fullsize World's Finest Chocolate bars. Number of kids has been dwindling these last couple years-I blame the all the Trunk n Treat events-I get having one or two-but when every church, every business has one then it pulls away from neighborhood parties (and then people want to complain how nobody knows their neighbors anymore)

Is it lunch time yet??

Happy Halloween all!!

Dreary here- rain and cool temps!

But... tomorrow we fly out to Orlando!! The Joe & Patty moving company rides again! We're going to pick up the extra bed we had in Troy's apartment and drive it home! But we will enjoy a day and a half of fun in Orlando!!! Finally some sun!!

Can I vent for a moment? I don’t like to talk about politics. I rarely even discuss politics with people I agree with. Two of the therapists in my office and I are on opposite sides of the political spectrum. I have made it clear that I don’t want to discuss politics with them, but it seems like they try to go out of their way to engage me in conversation. Today one of the therapists insisted on watching some political video on her phone while standing right behind me. She finally realized that I was trying to make reminder calls and went into another office. She still had the volume up loud enough that I could hear some of it. Ugh!

I want to thank everyone this thread for keeping politics out of the discussion. This is always a fun place to post. Thank you all for keeping it that way.

Wingapalooza sounds fabulous!!!! Hope it goes really well......

Yes, where we used to live we had loads of neighbours, loads of kids, but many kept themselves to themselves most of the time........in this village we don’t really live close to anyone, but everyone knows each other as it’s fairly small......

I remember where I grew up and again, small seaside town but everyone went out trick or treating and we knew everyone!! It was a lovely way to grow up.......

Happy Halloween all!!

Have a great trip!!!


Pitch black here now at 4.30pm! But good for anyone out trick or treating!! It’s at least dry..........



We are at 4 weeks out today from our Christmas trip!!! Almost forgot.........

Time to start making up snacks..........I’m not very patient making spring rolls up.........crab cakes are so quick and easy.......potato salad and couscous is done and everything else is shop bought........

Must learn patience............

Yum!! You always have the best meals!!

 

[schumigirl]

Yum!! You always have the best meals!!

Thanks! I do love cooking.........and another reason I’ll never be slim!!!




Spring rolls off the menu as my filo pastry all dried up and just flaked apart....... I was chatting on the phone and forgot about it........

I have frozen vol au vent cases in the freezer......will use the duck mixture in them instead!

Trying to decide if the Halloween movie needs wine or rum.........

Think it’s a red wine night............

 

[Lynne G]

Yeah Charade, I call that rude. We also stay way clear of political talk. And I don't like to share my views anywhere.

Patty, safe travels! Fun time with some road trip time. Always a good mom. LOL

MonyK, wings and beer. Oh yeah.

Schumi, that's nice of you. We also tend to not get that many, so full size bars handed out, to parents sometimes too. I would guess it's much more busy about the holiday here than over the pond.

Yum, pizza, ice cream and lots of sweets. Yeah kids, not hungry. Always enjoy when get a big lunch, then nosh for dinner. I'll probably will bring home some treats for the kids. Lots of fruit, cookies, candy, and cupcakes left over. We always have way too much food, but hey, that's the enjoyment that lasts days sometimes.

Sigh, time for tea. Coffee long gone, and well waiting for the I'm outta here. Lovely day, with short lunchtime walk, and was quite a lovely Fall day.
