Happy Halloween!

Just want to wish you all a Happy Halloween........especially my oldest, because as I seem to do every year, I go down memory lane and remember all the costumes over the years.......and it makes me miss you Trace, not having you here.............I think the last costume I remember you in was a harem girl? You may have a better memory tho........
The little ghosts and goblins will be arriving soon, and as usual Joe has bought wayyyyyyy too much candy...and its a pain to answer the door every time because I have a baby (doggy) gate up for the puppy, I just know Im gonna trip over it tonight!
So, I will continue my stroll down memory lane, maybe I will have some candy just because.........I will wish my kids were little again so I could take them trick or treating, and snatch all thier Hershey kisses..............

May your Halloween be scary!!!!!!!!

More fall from New England.....

Thelma and Louise stopped by a farm stand on the way back to CT.....I have never seen such glorious pumpkins, and for practically nothing too, here in Cali I would pay dearly for a beautiful pumpkin like these....I think Martha must get her pumpkins here.......
There are a few fires still burning, but the skies are finally blue today and I can see the mountains...........and I think its safe to walk again without risking an asthma attack........
Miss Piggy had to get into the act........
Beautiful fall day.....for Cali anyways.....makes me want to make pumpkin bread....chili....eat candy apples.......but I will settle for a long walk.



Miss you New England, you are lovely in the fall.

Its Fall somewhere..........

Its not here, but I certainly had a taste of it in CT........beautiful fall colors starting to show.....Im jealous, all we have here is smoke and haze......can I say I had so much fun checking out this old cemetary.......one headstone said died in 1700!!!!! You all know my fascination with old cemetaries, can I say I was in heaven, without it sounding too wierd?
Tracey and I had fun with Debbie and Errol........go here to see his adventures ......

Vacation Blues..........

A pictures worth a thousand words..........

What do you get.........?

When you take one house on the beach.......27 crazy women.......an abundance of alcohol.....lots of pizza.......the best brownies on the face of the earth....and the funniest entertainment this side of saturday night live...........you get the best time ever!!!!!!!!!
OMG, I have not laughed so hard in a long time!!!!!!
It all started with a road trip .......Jillian and Blonde chick with good intentions...but those damn brownies............another road trip home, Thelma and Louise, I only "almost" rear ended 2 cars......learned cold turkey how to navigate bridges........lived thru Stellas melt down on the G Washington Bridge, several panic attacks later, we made it home in one piece......thanks Louise for another great road trip ..............
Things I learned this week that I never knew......the atlantic is warmer than the pacific.....2 crazy gals dont need no freakin GPS.....pumpkin donuts ROCK.......27 women in the same house CAN get along totally.....and monkey farts are the bomb!!!!!!!!

More tomorrow, but this chicks still on New England time, and that means bedtime for me............great pics to come from the rest of my trip.........and Trace, was that a FULL MOON I saw??????????????

In 4 days..........

I will be here!!!!!! Check it out, billiards, hot tub, karioke, beachfront, omg, no work for a week......how will I survive??????

Unfinished stuff.......

I did not realize all the projects I have started and not finished, this is just the tip of the ice berg, but these are going with me to getaway, see, they are all packed up and ready to go.....I WILL NOT start another project until I finish these, and all the other ones I didnt take a picture of..........I will not buy more paper, or anything, until I finish these projects, I mean it!!!!!
Its only a few days til I head for New England, then Glenni and I begin our road trip down to the outer banks.......and I get to see my girl Tracey!!!!!
on another note, I would post a pic of Sadie, but she was so busy this morning uprooting potted plants and eating poop, that she decided to take a nap..............yup, you heard me........

Love affair......?

One thing we were concerned about when we got the puppy was Pokey, our caique parrot, sometimes Poke takes a dislike to people, or animals (he HATES our scottie) and if he does not like you, he lets you know it, usually by charging and latching onto your feet or whatever he can get ahold of. To say he can be mean is an understatement. But he is rather taken with Sadie, they spend a lot of time kissing each other........and Poke really likes to rub his head into Sadies fur........so we are relieved they have fallen in love.........or lust, or whatever it is that birds and dogs fall into.

Mail call..........

Yippeee, the new Sew Somerset magazine that I have been waiting for arrived!!!!!! Not sure if there are a lot of things I like in it, but there is inspiration, and ideas....and hey, Im a magazine junkie anyways, so I cant wait to really sit and go thru it, I have only had a chance to leaf thru it really fast, Im a puppy momma ya know!

Here are a few more Halloween treasures.......although my pics still stink, Im too lazy to use my other camera, that means I have to resize, and I'd rather have a root canal............

I entered the chocolate swap over at Sharons...couldnt resist....now this is a swap you can sink your teeth in, yummy decadent chocolate........NO Whitmans Samplers here, lol.......

OK off to the beauty parlour where my gal will work her magic and poof, the gray is gone!!!!!

A year in the making, lol........

Im sooo proud of myself...I finished something!!!!!! I took this class at my fav scrappy store LAST YEAR, its the cutest Halloween garland, my pictures suck but it has pics of my kids in thier costumes when they were little, many many years ago, back in the ice age almost, it turned out so cute.....very easy project using those cute little metal frames and your imagination....and the possibilities are endless, think of the Christmas one you could do!!!!
And today would not be complete without a picture of Sadie, posing by a pumpkin guy on a wire coil.....gives you another perpective on how little she is.......
Im working about 1/2 of the hours I have worked for the last 5 years, and I have to say, Iam enjoying my time immensely, it is good to stop and smell the flowers........and one of these days I will be able to do that, once all my projects are done!!!!!

Sweet........

OK, look real close, thats little Sadie May snuggled up to Little Cheech...who doesnt look so little does she in comparision. Sorry about chopping Little Cheechs face off, its such a cute face too! This is how they took a nap.....this is a first.....as much progress as Cheech has made, she still likes her space, so when she let the baby cuddle up to her, and really slept, I was a little surprised, but very pleased. Last night the baby got lost in the back yard, can I say I was a little steamed looking for her, especially because I thought she was lost in the area where the blackberry bush has grown crazy huge, and the stickers were sticking me like crazy, and of course I could not find a flash light, God help us if there is an earthquake, I must have looked til I was on the verge of tears, then my big hunka burnin love found her, ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE YARD!!!!! Its not easy finding 2 pounds of fur in the dark........and by the way, do ya wanna know what my hunk did first thing this morning BEFORE he went to work????? He tore out that berry bush, yes he did!!!!! Can I tell you how much I love that man!!!!!!! Anyways, back to the picture.....there are several of you out there that cannot fathom what 2 pounds looks like.....so look at Sadie next to Cheech, cheech is about 12 pounds.....shes a big fat girl....so now does that give it a little more perspective......she is bigger than a hamster yet smaller than a bunny.......

OK enough about my baby......I will take more Fall decor pics and post them tomorrow, the garage is looking spiffy and I can find things now.....
