So we will have to redo them. But they Were cute little flowers. Alice went out and bought us a Salad for lunch. It was real good. I was a big one.We are both doing fine. The Cowboys doing fine.

Oh me, oh my. I have a confession to make. The candy in the house has been calling my name and I am so weak!!! I tried to find candy that I don't like but I don't think they make any! The weather is still nice so I am hoping we have lots of kids to get rid of it all.

Happy Halloween to you all. Gayla

:flowerforyou: Gayla, wonderful idea to purchase candy that you don't like, even though you like them all. I could just buy Kit Kat and be fine. Unfortunately, my husband has already bought for tonight. And, it is all candy that I love. Plus, we don't get many kids at our house so there will be lots left over.:mad:


:flowerforyou: Marie, please post some pictures of your coasters. I would love to see them.

:flowerforyou: buzz, it is really too bad about the rain. You had perfect temperatures to hang out your clothes. I am finding that it takes a couple of days for my clothes to dry in the basement.:grumble:

:flowerforyou: Phoebe, good thing to have fat free Cool Whip. My problem is that my husband introduced me to the real stuff that I have to whip up. It certainly isn't lite.

I see that I have one new message here but it is not showing up in my mail !!! I guess I will wait a while to see it it appears.

:flowerforyou: Sandy, loved your joke and your accent.

Was going to go visit my sister in the hospital but I called and she said no visitors because she has C. diff. which is an infection of the colon and since it is giving her diarrhea she wants no visitors. They are treating it, so I hope they can clear it up.

:

Gayla... ROFLOL at that!! it is so true. we don't get door to door trick or treaters here. They have events etc., so I have no excuse to buy candy..:embarassed: , so I just buy it.. it is so tempting to see all that stuff when you walk into any store.

Becky, yep, the real stuff is the good stuf, Land o Lakes makes a sugar free canned whipped cream, like redi whip.. I saw sugar free and bought it, didn't read the nutrition label, it has a lot of fat in it, but it is absolutely delicious, I could eat it without anything else.. so I only used part of it and threw it out, and I still miss it!!

just saying hello before I shut down the pc. We will leave sometime today, maybe after dinner tonight.

Sandy, I'm so sorry that your sis is going thru such troubles. She must feel awful right now. Do you think your sister would like to get mail from us? I am thinking maybe just postcards from each of us, with a little info or photo of our localities. Let us know what you think.. we don't want to intrude on her.

Well, I'm not sure if all of the kitties are trained on the pet door entrance, but they all know how to get out. If I could be sure they can come in, I will feel good about leaving them tonight. They all seem to want to come in at night, and three like to go out in the morning. Three stay on the bed with 'mama'. This was so funny(to a cat person) when poor dh woke from his recliner 'nap', he decided to go to bed. He was dozing when he jumped and jerked his legs, and yelled 'ouch!!'. Little Dolly was attacking his toes..lol.. she bites thru the covers, and you are glad of that, coz those little teeth can still be felt. He couldn't take it and went back to his recliner. LOL!! After daylight he came back, so I got up, and kitties went with me.

hope you all have a fun and safe and Happy Halloween, love to you all,

p.s. Sandy, that is one ugly mask,

Hello all you Goblins , Happy Holloween

We had our Pot Luck dinner Saturday night in the A Frame building. I carved a pumpkin ( a sailboat)
and decorated the inside. We invited about 12 people and it was great food and drink. I finished a whole
bottle of wine. (my bad). No hangover though.

We slept on our friends boat and I didn't get much sleep so was dragging most of the day.:yawn: I like my bed.
We went out for breakfast and then back home. I made some soup and did some ironing and then I
layed on the sofa the rest of the night. :yawn:

Tonight we are going to order Swiss Chalet chicken and salad so i can get dressed up and hand out candy
to the little gobblins. :laugh:

In honor of the last day of October I thought there should be a history lesson that had nothing to do with Halloween.


The Biblical Origin of The Internet

You might have thought that you knew how the Internet started, but here's the TRUE story (hmmm!) ....

In ancient Israel , it came to pass that a trader by the name of Abraham Com did take unto himself a young wife by the name of Dot.

And Dot Com was a comely woman, broad of shoulder and long of leg.
Indeed, she was often called Amazon Dot Com.

And she said unto Abraham, her husband: "Why dost thou travel so far from town to town with thy goods when thou canst trade without ever leaving thy tent?"

And Abraham did look at her - as though she were several saddle bags short of a camel load, but simply said: "How, dear?"

And Dot replied: "I will place drums in all the towns and drums in between to send messages saying what you have for sale, and they will reply telling you who hath the best price.

And the sale can be made on the drums and delivery made by Uriah's Pony Stable (UPS)."

Abraham thought long and decided he would let Dot have her way with the drums. And the drums rang out and were an immediate success.
Abraham sold all the goods he had at the top price, without ever having to move from his tent.

To prevent neighboring countries from overhearing what the drums were saying, Dot devised a system that only she and the drummers knew.

It was called Must Send Drum Over Sound (MSDOS), and she also developed a language to transmit ideas and pictures -Hebrew To The People (HTTP).

But this success did arouse envy. A man named Maccabia did secret himself inside Abraham's drum and began to siphon offsome of Abraham's business. But he was soon discovered, arrested and prosecuted - for insider trading.

And the young men did take to Dot Com's trading as doth the greedy horsefly take to camel dung.

They were called Nomadic Ecclesiastical Rich Dominican Sybarites, or NERDS.

And lo, the land was so feverish with joy at the new riches and the deafening sound of drums that no one noticed that the real riches were going to that enterprising drum dealer, Brother William of Gates, who bought off every drum maker in the land.

And indeed did insist on drums to be made that would work only with Brother Gates' drum heads and drumsticks.

And Dot did say: "Oh, Abraham, what we have started is being taken over by others."

And Abraham looked out over the Bay of Ezekiel , or eBay as it came to be known. He said: "We need a name that reflects what we are."
And Dot replied: "Young Ambitious Hebrew Owner Operators."

"YAHOO," said Abraham.

And because it was Dot's idea, they named it YAHOO Dot Com.

Abraham's cousin, Joshua, being the young Gregarious Energetic Educated Kid (GEEK) that he was, soon started using Dot's drums to locate things around the countryside.

It soon became known as God's Own Official Guide to Locating Everything (GOOGLE).

And that is how it all began.

Impressed?

H E L L O S E N I O R S,
Sandy that picture is scary and that joke is so funny.

Phoebe, the crustless pumpkin pie only takes minutes to make and I do use the fat free cool whip. It is so worth it for so few calories.

My day today, Slept in until 7am, weighed myself and lost another pound. I feel I have finally got it. I had pumpkin oatmeal,(I am hooked on pumpkin lately). Then we went to meet friends for coffee.

We picked up a few things at the store because I forgot to get somethings and I found some pumpkin coffee creamer. I usually drink my coffee black but I am on a kick now. I know its more calories but again its worth it.

I made a salad for lunch with green tea to drink. I will make coffee with dinner and use my creamer. My son and his two boys are coming for dinner. I plan to make white chicken chili, corn muffins, and apple crisp for dessert.

Now I am going to ride my stationary bike and then sew a little. I am also going to make rice krispie treats for the boys to take home for halloween. I have a large bag of goodies and a $5.00 bill for them. I send all the grandkids $5.00 for halloween

Well the kids are on the way here so happy halloween

:bigsmile: today or realtor dropped by with a housewarming present----a canvas tote bag (with a great lighthouse picture on one side and an ad for her business on the other) with Martinelli's Cider, chocolate covered almonds, trail mix, battery powered candle, hand soap, dog toy, cat toy, and dog treats. :bigsmile:

:noway: :noway: :noway: :noway: Sandy, that is a wild and crazy picture:noway: :noway:

:bigsmile: we went out to dinner at the Indian restaurant last night with our our great friends, the poodles breeders and groomers, and I ate saner than I did the last time. Tomorrow we are going to their house for brunch at nine AM so I'll be getting up early to walk the dogs before we go :bigsmile:

:bigsmile: There's no trick or treating in our neighborhood so we didn't buy any candy :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:
