Doesn't look much like a Warm Fuzzy Halloween, does it? :)

When you finish with your cabinets, wanna come do mine?

My garage freezer quit yesterday after I just filled it on Friday. ;(
I spent yesterday cleaning and rearranging everything in the pantry freezer.
I'm going to consider buying another small one for the garage.

Wishing you a Happy Halloween, Jaycee.
See you when you finish your food cabinets.

Thank you so much, Amy. That graphic is darling.

Speaking of the cabinets...I’ve just gotten the edges.
If you would see the other shelves, you might ask, “Have
you ever cleaned those shelves” and yes, I have.
But old habits are hard to break. The other side of
this cabinet seems to have a thousand boxes and packages.
And many things have to be thrown out. I dislike this
work. I do not like housework a bit. I loved when I
worked and someone else cleaned the house. Of course,
they couldn’t do cabinets!

I'm a bit embarassed to mention this,
But the last time I cleaned my cupboards and cabinets
I kinda let the rest of the kitchen
"Go to Pot"....

The witches fly
Across the sky,
The owls go, "Who? Who? Who?"
The black cats yowl And green ghosts howl,
Scary Halloween to you!

Cool Halloween graphic and poem.

A few years ago I had mrsd wrap me up in some thin white muslin material. Looking like a mummie I went out and sat on the porch. When the kids came to the door, I would raise my arm and wave at them. Scared half of them. A neighbor’s child who had downs syndrome just came over and climbed up in my lap and gave me a hug.

Mrsd wore a costume to work today - A hippy costume including black wig and black mustache.

Thank you, Yorkie.

Top 10 Signs You Are Too Old to be Trick-or-Treating

10. You get winded from knocking on the door.
9. You have to have another kid chew the candy for you.
8. You ask for high fiber candy only.
7. When someone drops a candy bar in your bag, you lose your balance and fall over.
6. People say, "Great Keith Richards mask!" and you're not wearing a mask.
5. When the door opens you yell, "Trick or..." and can't remember the rest.
4. By the end of the night, you have a bag full of restraining orders.
3. You have to carefully choose a costume that won't dislodge your hairpiece.
2. You're the only Power Ranger in the neighborhood with a walker.
1. You avoid going to houses where your exes live


Have a Happy Halloween.

So pretty, but with all the snow, it looks like it should be decorated in red and green. Must be in the NorthEast.

Thanks, Yorkie.

Tis the night - the night
Of the grave's delight,
And the warlocks are at their play;
Ye think that without
The wild winds shout,
But no, it is they - it is they

By Arthur Cleveland Coxe

Happy Halloween, BQ. Good to see you.

Hey .. bet you get enough candy to last for a couple of weeks. :)

Don't be a stranger.

Everything runs on a computer and the person who set this up had to be quite brilliant. I also heard some neighbors hate it....LOL! I say “lighten up for a few days.” Let the cars going by enjoy and especially let the kids enjoy it. And you’re welcome. I saw bits of it on t.v. but didn’t appreciate it until I saw it all.

mine are not that bad as your graphic. If they were I would
pack my bags and go away FOR A LONG TIME.....LOL! I would
come to Sedona!!
