Hi Ladies,
I hope this finds everyone safe & healthy (as healthy as we can be at our age). I’m worried about you guys on the East coast. This sounds like a very dangerous storm. Are any of you in the path of it? I’d move to the West coast ASAP!! At least we don’t get hurricanes like that. As I’ve said before, we could use some of that rain. We’re supposed to get some this week but I’ll believe it when I see it. It’s been typical fall days tho. Cloudy & alot cooler!!!

Oh, Christmas came early for me today. I’d ordered 2 “as is” wreaths, one with red roses, pine cones & ornaments, the other bright red poinsetias pine cones, & berries. OMG they are Gorgeous. They also had garlands to match. I think they were VPH, but not sure. They look like something she’d have.
Colleen, I never learned how to crochet or needle point either. I remember knitting pot holders as a kid, but that’s as far as I got. No sweaters or anything like that.
Kay’s sister came yesterday & spent the night with her. She was sooooo happy when I saw her today. She’s been bad the past month or so due to the smoke but she’s getting better. I was worried about her last month. Critt’s his usual self. He rolled up in his wheelchair today, pulled his Tshirt up over his nose & demanded I turn over Jewell to him. He’s done that so many times before. I just roll my eyes & tell him NO WAY!!! He has a warped sense of humor.
Well, I better close before I lose this.
take care & stay safe!!

Hi Ladies,
OMG!!!! I see you guys are gonna get hammered by a hurricane. You guys can’t catch a break. I see there’s 2 more behind it, too. we’re in for a few showers this week, but that’s all. At least it’s a start. The temps will be in the 60s. Temps are dropping quickly out here. I’ll keep all of you in my prayers.
Adele, I hooked up the Xfinity box today. It’s gonna take some getting used to tho. Talking to the remote & all. The pic on the TV is so much clearer than before. I see your Halloween décor is cute. I see you have the Pumpkin Patch bowls too. and the boofetti minis are cute too. They had a set of 4 mugs on ITKWD of Boofetti. On Wed. it’s a cooking on Q day.
I took furball over to Critt’s this afternoon so I could spray the bugs. I didn’t want her around to breathe the spray. I used a face mask, & I coughed for half an hour. I had all the fans going & the windows open. I’m beyond getting sick of this crap.

I better end this before I lose it.
Have a great week.

Hi Adele,
I’ll be right out for the Boston Cream Pie, & the Whoopie pies. I don’t think I’ve had wild the Whoopie pies before. They sound good!! I hope Gary had a great day!
I haven’t been able to decorate yet. Until the bug problem is taken care of I have to leave stuff packed up in tubs. The pics are probably from last yr or the yr before. Thank you for the compliment. I’ll see if I can find some other pics from yrs past.
We just had a rain shower a while ago tonight. Just enough to stir up the dust. I see Hawaii is gonna get hammered again. I wish the jet stream would send some of it this way. we call it the pineapple express.
I have a wild weekend planned, doing laundry. Woooooo hoooooo. lol.

That’s all I have for tonight.
Have a grrrrrrrrrrrrrreat weekend, everybody.

Hi Ladies,
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!! this makes the 3rd try at this in 2 days!! I had a post all ready to send & poof it was gone. It’s so frustrating. I hope this finds everyone doing fine. I keep hearing about those storms out there. And now I hear there’s another storm heading your way. I wish some of that rain would come this way. We sure could use it, with all the fires still burning out here. I have friends returning home from S. Ca. & they were rerouted around the I5 fire, as I call it. I tried to get em to come home up the coastal highway, but they didn’t. I kept telling em it’d be alot cooler & less smoky. We ‘ve had a few days of smoke in the air again. It’s gone now tho. It wasn’t as bad as it was that other time. They’re saying we should be getting a few showers next week. Looooong overdue!!
Adele, thank you for the info on Xfinity. I’ll give it a try. I decorate for myself than for others. After all I’m the one who has to look at it day after day. I don’t decorate so much for Halloween as I do for fall. It lasts thru Nov. then it’s time for Christmas. Your decorations are adorable. I don’t have the haunted houses. I just have a few things. But I can’t wait to see your Boofetti on display. I have some Harvest baking dishes, & Pumpkin Patch bowls with lids, & I’ll be getting my new FL Pumpkin oval bowl pretty soon. I love the bright orange but I didn’t want a whole big set in order to get it.
I have to confess I ordered a set of 5 birds from VPH the other day. They looked so cute & I couldn’t resist!! Shame on me, sigh.

I didn’t pass the bug test this week so on it goes. I got some face masks & bug spray & I’m going to spray the heck out of here. They won’t let me set fire to the place so I have to do something.

My friend, Diane, drove me down to Albany where my brother lived. I hardly recognized the place. The town has changed so much. There hasn’t been a service yet, & maybe there won’t be. I haven’t heard anything.

I haven’t read all the posts yet so if I leave something out, I’ll get back to it.
I just hope you’re all okay.

Hi Ladies,
I hope everyone is having a nice weekend. I’m not doing anything special, as usual. I watched the McCain funeral this morning. It was very touching. I got a hoot out of him asking GW Bush & Obama to eulogize him. They all got their digs in, without saying anyone’s name. and boy did Meghan let loose on him. He deserved it & even more!! I think he put in another nail in his political coffin. Voters have loooong memories.
Adele, do you have Xfinity hooked up to your TV? Comcast sent me a box to hook up to my TV this week. Do you think it’s worth it? How much did your monthly bill go up? I’m already unhappy with Comcast as it is. If my bill goes any higher I’ll have to cut back, a lot! My bill is already over $130.00 as it is!
And it seems like they’re raising the monthly rates more often. I remember when my bill was less than $50.00/ month!!!

I was naughty again. I noticed when they had the Temptations TSV there were some colors missing. Fall & Pumpkin were missing from Floral Lace, & Pumpkin Patch from Old World, I think there was another one but can’t remember. Anyway, I found an oval bowl that I got last yr in FL Festive. With the 5 easy pay I ordered the FL Pumpkin design. So now I have something in Harvest, Pumpkin Patch & now FL Pumkin for fall. I’ll probably put flowers or something for fall in it. I put ornaments in the Festive last yr.

Furball is laying here beside me curled up in a ball. That pic of the squirrel in the pumpkin reminds me of Furball getting into her cubby hole in the tree. I’m glad you enjoy the pics I put up.
Got a question. Where did August go??? I can feel fall in the air out here. We were supposed to get up to 90 later this week, but it’s been revised to low to mid 80s, which is fine with me. Cooler temps are already settling in esp overnight. When the sun goes down the temps drop like a rock. we could actually get some rain in a couple weeks. we sure could use it.
I better get off here before I lose it again.
take care. enjoy the holiday.

Hi Ladies,
Oh Gail, I’m so sorry to hear about Brent. I’ve never heard of that disease. I’ll have to Google it. Do they know what causes it? Is it hereditary? Who is Kim? I don’t know who that is. I’ll keep him in my prayers.
Kids do say the darndest things. Do you remember Art Linkletter & his show? He’d have kids on at the end of the show & he wrote a book about kids. Piper sounds like she’s a lot of fun.
Adele, I hope you were able to get all the Boo fetti that you wanted. They sold out of a lot of colors & all but egg hunt & shamrocks in the special patterns. I wish they’d have a smaller set in that sq-oval. I’d like a small baker & the ramekins. I don’t need 21 pieces. Did you notice the absence of some of the colors & seasonal patterns? They did have a lot of sets. I’m amazed at how many sold out. Oh, did you get the pics of the cookie jar I sent on messenger?
I wanted to make sure you got a peek so you could see what it looked like.
Are ya gonna take pics of it when you get it? I want to see what it looks like when you get it all set up. I have a couple Christmas 9×13 bakers & I put em out with ornaments or some kind of scene on the lid it.
Well, that’s all I have for tonight.
take care.

Hey Adele,
I don’t know if you saw it but they had a Boofetti cookie jar, & you could get it by itself or if you go for auto delivery you get a Christmas tree for the holidays & egg hunt for spring. I’m pretty sure there’ll be more later on today. The cookie jar is a ghost. It’s adorable. #K47673. I sent a pic of it to Messenger.

Hey Adele,
I hope you were able to get the Boofetti early. I’m watching it right now & it sold out in 15 minutes. I knew it would that’s why I made sure you knew about it. My holiday set is about to sell out!! Rats!! It’s the Christmas set. Oh well. sigh. Not that I need it. lol
I hope you got the carrier as well, as I’m sure it’ll sell out too.
I’m sorry your weather is so nasty. I heard we’re in for a warm & dry winter ahead. Just what we don’t need!!!
take care
