Friday Happenings

It's raining cats and dogs today with intermittent thunder and lightening. The horses are pouting as I won't let them out but I don't want them to get soaking wet with their heavier fall hair. The cats were pouting but have decided a nap in a chair is just as good as being out in the rain!

I have been watching the mailbox closely the past week or so waiting for my Halloween Swap package to arrive from my blogging buddy Pea and lo and behold it arrived today in the torrential rainstorm. The mail lady bright it right up to the porch and rang my doorbell so I got it immediately! Miss Pea you were VERY generous with the goodies!!!! I kept opening and opening and my Mom said it was just like Christmas! What fun! I would urge all of you out there that didn't participate this year to be sure to do so next Halloween 'cause it's just so much fun!

There are so many things I don't know where to begin! I guess I will let the pictures speak for them selves but one thing is missing as I have the socks on already!! I have never seen ghost Peeps, they are soooooo cute, I'll hate to eat them.....well........Also chocolate which will probably be gone before tonight is over......... I have already lit the little witch with the tea light in it and have made decisions where all the other things will go!!! Thank you so much Pea!!!!!! :o)




Also I want to say that the packing box was decorated with Halloween stickers and everything was wrapped in little bags with raffia bows and Halloween colored tissue paper. This gal knows how to do up a package! I think Pea should start one of those businesses where you make up baskets for people to give for gifts. Hey Pea, doesn't that sound like something you would enjoy doing?????

D and T were over yesterday and after dinner we did some cupcake decorating. I made the cupcakes ahead of time so that they would be cool so that they could dig right in.

These are D's.

These are T's.They sure had fun decorating and took them home for Mommy and Dad. Of course I had to finish up any unused frosting............

Was out by the barn a few days ago and noticed some tracks going up the side of the barn by a couple of the horses windows which are open this time of year. We decided they are raccoon tracks and they must be looking for winter lodging. Let me just say that there's not an opening for any new tenants!!!

I don't normally get on a soapbox but are any of the rest of you getting a bit fed up with television. Now I have shows that I like, mostly on HGTV, but others on regular tv too. It's the ads that are very obnoxious and racy. When watching tv with my 10 year old grand nephew it is rather embarrassing to have ads come on for very personal problems for men or women, people in their underwear like Vic*torias Se*cret, things for itching, impo*tence, odors, rashes, you get my drift. I try to have the remote in my hand to change channels quickly when I need to.

I also am getting fed up with Survivor a show that I have watched from the beginning. Why do they have to make it so they have to run around in their under*wear all the time? During the competitions they have to blank out parts of almost every person. Gag! I don't want to watch people in their under*wear in a mud fight or whatever. Are they doing this for ratings? I need to find out who to complain to and send off a letter. Okay, I feel better, I have vented to you all!

We're getting ready to go to Florida next week. The kids are all excited and can't wait to get there. I'm trying to get everything finished up for the craft fair and clothes ready to pack. It's been rather warm here so I still have my summer clothes out which is a big help. The boys are going back to the stable on Wednesday. I called and made arrangements today. I HATE it when they are gone but it has to be this way, the city fathers will only let me have them here in the summer as we are on the edge of a development. I think one of these days I will build a house right in the middle of my 400 acres! At least I am only 5 minutes away from the stable.

Again thank you Pea for such a wonderful Halloween package!!!! I love everything!!!! :o) Also a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Hope you have a wonderful day!!
