[schumigirl]

Won’t be released for another 6 weeks from
her care
Still being monitored
Code word for blood draws ....lol

I call this progress
Woot!

Glad to hear you’re doing well......although booo to the blood draws! I know how much you love them......not.

Being able to drive yourself is always good.......


Charade......absolutely, don’t watch Twister!!



I forgot how good The Shining is.........

 

[Lynne G]

Charade, stay safe!

Bit of rain, still windy and balmy. BK for early dinner. Crowded , as I think many are eating early to let kids trick or treat early, and hope rain stops when the kids start.

Mac, glad to hear you can drive some. Yeah, not a fan of blood draws either. Hope you are continuing to get better.

 

[Lynne G]

Candy?

 

[Charade67]

I’ll take the Reese’s.

 

[Sue M]

@macraven good to heat your on the mend. Great bus idea!

@Charade67 stay safe please. Those are scary things.
@Lynne G nice looking pumpkin! Hope your weather improves.
@keishashadow thanks for your thoughts.
@Robo56 brrrr, will be a cold night for the kids!
@pattyw nice you got more Florida time! Did you check out my little hotel in Deerfield Beach?

Lovely Halloween gifs people! Well done. I didn’t do much today, just some errands. I bought some Halloween candy a few days ago that we like, lol. We never get anyone so may as well get stuff we like. The mix with KitKat, Aero, Coffee Crisp, and Smarties. But our Smarties are different from the US. My friend in Cali showed me the US Smarties. Ours are similar to M&Ms but different colour shells over the chocolat. I’ve already ate most of the KitKats, lol.

Since we don’t get trick or treaters I don’t get a pumpkin or decorate anymore. When we did get some kids back in the day when ours were that age too, I did decorate. Our front patio lends itself well for decorating.
Halloween has always been fun in our area, and at 8:00 the community association puts on a great fireworks show in the Elementary School Field. So it was an understanding that signified the end of trick or treating.

Tomorrow I may think about unpacking

Candy?

View attachment 449238

Ooooo I see KitKats!

 

[Lynne G]

Yep, and only candy left was one Reese’s, and some KitKats. Closed up the house around 8. Now under covers. Cool feeling house. And Reese’s is gone. (Felt sorry for it. not, LOL)

Think this is the most kids we have had in quite a few years. Including the last one, the cutest little girl who took off her Minnie Mouse outfit as she came up the driveway. I bet she was maybe 2, or more like an 18 month. Her dad was nice, and held her hand as she held out her other hand reaching for the candy. Even had a dog treat for my neighbor who came with her dog to say Happy Halloween.

Ah, fire truck just went by. Hope all are okay.

Hope Robo had a fun party.



May it be a very restful one.

We aren't so good over here....my contribution to Halloween decorations are a pumpkin carved at the front doors, two Halloween themed candle holders....and a lovely spider that has been living near our garage doors has made a wonderful rather large web that stretches all the way along the garage doors...….lol....looks amazing!!!

We don't much either this year. I missed all the good stuff at the dollar store...and with the boys just being busy with school and work...There really is not much time to decorate. We did get the blowup halloween thingy for the front yard. But that's about it this year. But isn't it fun to do some decorating...and see the little ones in costumes.

Ooh Halloween and with a very soggy, dodging puddles on the road, with ooh that looks deep, and some puddle avoiding as walked to office door. Rainy and foggy too. But hey, 62 at 5:15 am. And not to let the day of Halloween go out with a bang, severe weather, thunderstorms with damaging winds, and chance of a tornado thrown in there too. Where I live, that fun will start around 9:39, 10pm. Ah, nothing like being lulled to sleep with a downpour, lightning, and wind whipping around the house. But as every storm, the cold weather wins, and down to seasonable 50 is the Friday high. Guess fitting for the first day of November.

Your morning commute does NOT sound like fun. I love those Malificant ears!!!! I totally would wear those at work

We just returned from Florida. Took my mom and visited with my niece and family in Orlando and then went to visit with Kyle and Erin in Ft. Lauderdale. The weather was heavenly! Upper 80s and sunny! My son has turned into a true Southerner! Complaining about the heat! It's been above average temps for this time of the year. He wants it to cool down!

It's great you got to see your son again...and soak up some warmth too.

Also, @pattyw glad to hear you had an amazing time in Florida and got to move around to a few places. I'm right there with your son! I can't wait for it to finally cool down. Luckily, this weekend when I go to Cabana it'll be not as insanely hot and the low is in the 60's, so I'd imagine in the early morning and late evening it'll be even more comfortable.

I believe that the heat would be tiring after awhile...just like the cold gets exhausting having to deal with. I know I would rather deal with the heat than the cold. I find t easier to cool down...than to warm up when your cold to the bones and nothing warms you up.

@Charade67 I hope your safe and that no tornado touched down anywhere. What a way to ruin a Halloween.

@macraven I'm glad your update form the Dr. I hope you continue to get better.

@Sue M Have fun unpacking. That is always a sad day.

We have lucked out with the weather. It is a beautiful evening...with no snow or rain. THAT doesn't happen very often here. We have not had as many little ones this year...so I have been generous with the treats. We don't need that many extra treats laying around lol.

I hope everyone had a great halloween and enjoyed all the decorations and little kiddies in their cute costumes.

I'm going to watch the new Grey's Anatomy with a cesear for all the hard work of handing out candy lol and enjoy having the remote while the hubby is out curling a late game tonight.

 

[Charade67]

I haven't seen any reports of any tornado sightings, so I think we are in the clear. The rain has stopped, but it is still very windy.

We made the mistake of going to a movie tonight. Our movie theater is at the mall. We forgot about mall trick or treating. Way too many people.

I am ready for some sleep. Can't believe it's November tomorrow.

 

[macraven]

Sat up so I could send this out for Disxuni

Happy November 1 bd wishes to you homie!

Hope you have a fantastic day!



(I baked you a cardboard)

 

[schumigirl]

Yep....it`s November...……..

Cannot believe how quickly October disappeared......

And we have a birthday in November....... to you Disxuni....hope you have a lovely day........

Lynne.....you have some candy left!!! Well, you know you need to eat it.....it`s the law!!!!

Pumpkin, when we used to live where we had neighbours, we always did some decorating for Halloween.....but where we are now, we have no close neighbours, so no Trick or Treaters unless my friends bring Grand Kids or similar..........but then we know they`re coming.....but it`s not as big a thing over here which is a shame. Some folks do try and do a good job, but they are quite unique.......

Oh my, I`m exactly the same......I prefer to deal with heat. When I`m chilled to the bone I cannot get warm for ages! Yes, give me heat anyday!!!

Charade....glad you didn`t get a tornado....it`s weird to imagine that feeling when we hear of folks listening to tornado warnings going off!! The worst we have here is the foghorns going off in the bay for the ships when we get fog!! Not really the same........I can imagine the Mall being busy on Halloween........hope you enjoyed the movie though.....

mac.....continued good wishes for you.......hope you got to enjoy some trick or treaters visiting you last night.......



Yes, November is here which means I can say...…. we go back to Orlando this month!!!! Woohooo......although it is the end of the month, but still.......

I did put some toiletries in my suitcase yesterday.......so I guess I technically have started packing........maybe......

Got some friends coming round for a coffee/tea morning today.....some were busy in the afternoon or couldn`t make lunch out somewhere which is what we usually do, and it`s my turn to host......always nice to have a little get together. I did some extra baking yesterday so have some nice home made goodies to snack on......sweet and savoury.










And now Halloween is over……...








Have a great Friday all........

 

[Lynne G]

Wow, what a storm last night, tornado warning and one touched down just west of the city, many a tree fell into a house, 120,000 places in my neighborhood are without power, including just up the street from me. Thankfully, we did not loose power, but those winds sounded like they were going through the house, then a beating of powerful rain, sometime after midnight, final goodbye to the storm. News giving reports of down wires, delays in travel, and some of the events that happened last night, including some rescues. But all are fine, and just some with an even darker morning.

Stepped out the door, ooh bad hair day alert. Big gust of wind. Zipped up my jacket. Quick enough, more traffic on a Friday, but less coming into my work. Seems a big day for telework, or just taking off.

Big Happy Birthday to Dix. Hope you enjoy CB this weekend. Nice way to spend a birthday.

Well time for tea, and hope the left over candy bought in by my coworkers is some I like.

Happy November to each and every homie.

 

[Lynne G]

and yep,

 

[Disxuni]

Good morning, homies! It's Nightmare Before Christmas day (as I like to call it)!



I'm glad that everyone seems safe after the horrible weather and tornado watches / warnings some of you have! It's no good to have damage, or no power. It seems those here are good and well so far, but I hope those we do not know that have been affected with damage, or no power are physically safe.

Thanks for the birthday wishes so far. Also, @macraven, you should have been trying to sleep! I hope you're sleeping now at least, or at least got some sleep. I'll forgive you, because you got me a cake.

At least this last minute packing is no big deal when I do it later. Just a little bag for one day should be fine. However, I'm going to arrive early and take advantage of the resort as much as possible and City Walk, then going to take my time leaving the next day. Just because I have to check out doesn't mean I have to leave.

I was surprised by a present my mom's friend gave me. She makes me gifts and they are absolutely lovely, but I was surprised to find out in the little bag she made me was a Bradley Disney clock she had when she was a little girl growing up. I asked her if she was really sure she wanted to part with it, but she said she was sure. She sees me as an honorary grand daughter and believes I'll appreciate it more than her other children, or grandchildren.

I hope customers are nice to me so I can stay in a good mood.

 

[Charade67]

Good morning and happy November. How is it November already? B has a birthday on the 14th and I have no clue what to get her. The only things she has asked for is a Starbuck's gift card and to to to the tea room downtown.

I just finished paying our monthly bills. Ugh. Now I need to go make a payment on the dining set that we ordered. It's supposed to be ready in time for my birthday in December.

Happy Birthday Disxuni!!

 

[Lynne G]

Charade, how about a Starbucks gift card and nice Starbucks mug, plus, the tea place, seems like a great gift.

Oh I hear ya, the beginning of the month, will be paying bills this week-end. Pay day is today.

 

[Disxuni]

Happy Early Birthday to her, @Charade67! I'll have to try to remember that again.

Starbucks gift card and tea room sounds not too pricey. Of course, I don't know how much the tea place is, but it sounds relatively modest.

 

[schumigirl]

I leave the bill paying to DH.....he`s got everything down pat......

Had a lovely coffee morning with friends.....and yes, it did spread into lunch. I know my friends well.....so we were well stocked up for a charcuterie style lunch, made up shrimp cocktails and some onion bread......it was very nice. There`s never any Brie left after they go though!!!

Had a good chat and a giggle and one of them who was brought along with a friend, I don't know her that well......mentioned I needed my haircut....I only had my mid appointment just over two weeks ago.....guess I didn't get enough cut off......

Everyone else said it was fine...…..guess I really do know who my real friends are

Chicken and shrimp alfredo tonight.......

 

[Disxuni]

Chicken and shrimp alfredo tonight.......

 

[Sue M]

Glad Lynne and Charade were safe from storms.
Schumi coffee/lunch sounds fun. But what an odd thing for someone to say, esp someone who barely knows you
Mac continued wishes for healing.
Disxuni

Sunny day here, 46F here this morning, will get up to 52 by afternoon. Promised older dd I’d go to Costco to see if their wallets were out. She needs a new one. Zipper on hers is going. Then will unpack.
Tomorrow is the Fall/Christmas church bazaar. I promised I’d volunteer at the bake table.
Can‘t believe it’s November already. I’m jealous of my friend and partner in crime that she’s going to WDW at the end of the month. It’s my fault I opted out. I went a couple of years ago with her. While it was great and we had a blast, and the decorations were amazing, it was just too close to Christmas for me. Returning home second week of Dec, was too much of a crunch for me to get ready for Christmas.
TGIF!
