Hi Cynthia

Wow- that takes the fun out of Halloween with it being so hot. Do the kids still get dressed up in the fancy costumes, or is it just too hot for that? I costumes with less ornamentation, so they stay cooler. Their candy would melt while the Trick or Treat, for God’s sake!
Are you going to watch that new show Blood and Oil tonight? I am. I have not seen Don Johnson in a long time. My son used to love him. For his high school graduation, he dressed just like him- a cream colored suit, turquoise silk t shirt, and cool brown loafers with tassles- no socks. We still laugh about it. The “Don Johnson” look. he made me go nuts getting the outfit together- the suit came form Saks, and the shoes form Bloomingdales. All I remember was going back and forth, with the purchases, and returns, until it was just right. I even had my Dad doing some of the errands, God rest his soul.
Hope your day is going well!

Hi Colleen
the recipe got mixed reviews. Heather and I loved it. She even ate the leftover cabbage the next day. Tillie was afraid it would give her “bathroom issues”, so she ate hardly any. At 89, I guess that is how that goes. Gary only ate the sausages. He didn’t like the taste of the sweet/vinegary mix. I would make it again. Just not for them….LOL
It is a little warmer here today. It seems the house is real chilly in the morning, and then gets better later. I will have to give in shortly, as I do not want anyone to get sick.
I am dying for those set of 3 witches to come. I have never put anything like that out on Halloween before. I usually have just the entrance way decorated downstairs, so you see it when you open the door. I hope I get more Trick or Treaters this year. Last year we only got 2 groups, and then our kids. I still love it!
I would love to live-in your neighborhood, that is for sure. I would have such a good time in the country, with the activities, the community suppers, etc. Makes Fall a lot more fun.
Hope you are having a good Sunday.
Adele

Hi Barbara!
Did you actually go to the Air show, or watch it from your house? Not sure the way I read it….LOL
You are not terrible at all! These kids today seem to have it a lot easier than we did when we first started out. I would bet it is due largely to our support of them, both emotionally, and financially. You have provided a home for your kids, at way below market value, I assume. Who did that for us? Although I have to add, I was in one of my grandmother’s houses in Boston when I first married. She charged me 30.00 a month….LOL So, I should be quiet.
Bobby is making gravy today, and everyone is sick. Steph and the family are all sick, and they do not want to come over, especially with Gary having only one functioning kidney, and Tillie being 89.. You got me thinking about pies, and I made an apple crisp for dinner today. Yesterday, it was so chilly in here, I made butter cookies, and this recipe I had for “Apple Cider Muffins”- supposed to taste as good as the donuts do when you go apple picking. They liked them so that will be a keeper.
I also want to make this recipe I saved from the Yankee Magazine- chicken pot pie with dumplings on top, instead of a regular crust. that will be on a cool day/night.
Hope you are enjoying your Sunday- keep that Jerry off the ladders! What was he thinking????

Hey Gail
I am glad the concert went well. Even happier Greg’s tooth is better. I am sure he is too.
Those Halloween glasses sound adorable. I would love to see the hat/headband you got- take a pic, and post it for us!!!
I just ordered a set of 3 witches form Home Depot. I hope they work out- looks like you just put the stakes in the lawn, and all done. I felt like I wanted something, other than just the door sign, and Jack O lantern and the Frankenstein metal guy. The metal guy is broken. Gary got it out of the shed, and needs to repair the front of him……which he ha snot done yet. So, he tells me that last night, and I say, “So, why are you still sitting here?????” LOL LOL
hope your day is going well!

Cynthia
Love your Fall yard! I wish we could make these pictures bigger, so I can see the details better…..LOL
I am glad you felt good enough to go outside to decorate. I ordered a set of 3 witches on sticks, that you just stick into he grass, for outside. I hope they work out! They looked simple enough to put on the lawn. We will see!
Hope your day is going well, and that it got a little cooler in Vegas.

Hi Colleen
What a nice thing to do- to go to a new restaurant, and make sure others go there too. Sounds like your dinner was good, too.
It doe s take a long tome to set that all up!
It got cold here last night. So cold, that I am going to bake something to heat the house up…..LOL I am making a sugar cookie, and this recipe for Apple Cider Muffins- never made that one before, so I hope it comes out ok. I just cannot bring myself to put the heat on yet.
It is bright and sunny,, and in the low 60’s today.
I hope you get all the decorations you nee from the dollar store. GAry loves the dollar store. His favorite place to shop!
Adele
