Well the garage door repair with new spring and wires cost about $200, but it was well worth it to me.  I would have hurt myself for sure.  Made it through a day at work, but I sure am tired.  Char thinks she needs to see the doctor again, since she is still coughing a lot and has the drainage, but I think it's just running its course.  RT - prayers for Donna and you both.  We had a great chat with Doug and SJ tonight - hope everyone had a great Halloween!  TARDIS is ready and we have all kinds of chocolate candy, banilla, and root beer!  Let's go!

RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.

  How about the Southerners and  Katrina,,,,,,, that us northerners are still paying for. I don't see lines of people asking for someone to bail them out of this one yet??  Huh?  

You will.  And they deserve it.

 

And with that, I close this month's Pot.

A Final Halloween 2012 Greetings To All,

We had 16 folks over for a very simple meal of beef stew and scala bread.  Candy for dessert and the adults were worse than the kiddies.  T or T with the kiddie.  Then some Halloween movies.  The weather was dry, in the 50s, and the winds were calm. 

At least  75 kiddies showed up at our door in full costume, about the highest turnout we have ever had I think.  I was worried that we would run out of candy!  My 8 y/o granddaughter dressed up as Athena and the youngest as Minnie Mouse......daughter even went the distance with the makeup.  Little ones were so proud of their costumes and had a very good time. Thumbs Up  When Halloween falls on a weekday, it pretty well eliminates it being a late evening. 

Candy menu included Baby Ruth, Butterfingers, Snickers, Milky Way, Three Musketeers, Kit Kat, large Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, and Almond Joy.  I'll have to assess the inventory decimation in the morning.  Of course, I thoroughly tested out the candy in advance to make sure it was safe. Whistling 

The place looks like a bomb went off, and I'm too tired to worry about it. Laugh

Good night, ya'll.
