Well, Halloween tonight - I have to say the older I get, the less enthused! We usually have 80 - 100 kids so I have lots of treats on hand.

We'll turn off the lights about 8:30pm - it's a long 4 hours of screaming:)

Usually we watch a movie or just some TV afterwards.

No decorating or dressing up this year - which I'll miss - too much going on the do that.

Happy Halloween.

Finally a Few Pics

These just show the floors torn up and the place at the stairs to the dining room where we removed some really horrible spindles (IMHO).

The bookcase which is now in my laundry room, was made by my man in 1990. The men are going to build a matching one for me.

Will post more as the rooms are completed and the furniture back in place.

Sorry I was so long in doing it.

3 More Pics

Procrastination = Icicles

For all of September I vowed to wash windows - so guess what? I did them today. It's only 10 and a decent wind blowing. My hands were so cold.

Actually, it's been so chilly the last week that I didn't know if I'd get them done.

The outside of the back entry door also needed a good scrub. It was disgusting. Even the locks and handle were dirty.

Why, yes, I should receive (bad) housekeeper of the year award ~

What chores have you postponed or are you all set for fall?

Rocky Mountain High - - -

Ouch, no Rocky Mountain High in Denver last night - for a bit I thought they would teach Boston a lesson.

Those announcer have stats that blow my mind - no team has ever won if the manager sneezed twice before the 4th inning - Ok, maybe I exaggerate a bit.

We sat propped up on the bed, eating supper and enjoying the game.

Wise old one that I am, when the pitcher for Boston came up, I announced pitchers aren't good batters so - bam!!!!!!!!!Before I could spew forth my wisdom, he was on base.

After that I just watched the game in silence:)

Dark and Dangerous

So our floors are dark walnut and our cat is black/chocolate brown.

It's mighty dangerous being Buddy since we did the floors. He blends right in.

We were laughing last night that we may have to paint a white stripe on him for his sake. (Of course, just joking:)

So I've been getting new floors, etc. with the idea in mind that we may have to move in a couple years. It's so beautiful that I may have to stay!
