It is November 8th and today the temp got to around 70 degrees!!  This has been a most beautiful Fall!!  It is like God is saying well since you just returned from the beautiful South we will let you have some GREAT weather before the COLD and NASTY stuff comes blowing in!!  Thank you God if that is what you are thinking!!  I know, I know, I am not at all that special!!  It is nice to think so if just for a couple of minutes!!

Yes this is ME...the middle age goddess!!

We had a fun Halloween here.  I think it is one of the first times in years that I HAVE HAD fun!!  I had seen a very ugly mask in Tuscola.  It was kind of expensive so I decided to wait.  By the next week, it was 50% and it was mine!!  Everyone else here was putting on makeup and trying so hard but I just had 3 things for my outfit!!  I put the mask on; took my black shawl and tired it around my neck then put a blanket on my knees.  I sat in a rocking chair with the candy.  I sat there rocking back and forth.  When a child would come up, I would cackle as best as I could and tell them that I loooovvvve to eat  children.  Then I would shake so badly that I sometimes missed their candy baskets!!  It was such fun!!  I, unfortunately made one little girl cry!!  Made me feel horrible!!  WE did have our pictures taken a lot!!  We had one family that came around that I thought was very ingenious and cool!!  They were all dressed like the characters in Wizard of Oz!! 

We just had the best of Halloween's....I want to have fun like this again next year!!  The house was all decorated on the outside.  Just a fun time!!

The guys have been working on our apartment downstairs!!  It takes a lot of the inside work before the good stuff starts showing up.  We do now finally have the dining/room kitchen all dry walled and the kitchen cabinets.  We bought this cute little white 5 ft fridge (If a refrig can be "cute).  It is just little but it will have enough room in it for just us!! I am so ready to get moved down there but it is still going to be a bit!!

Isn't this going to be a cute kitchenett!!???  Mike got the Korian counterpot and molded twin sinks that would have cost $1500.00...very inexpensively.  The customer did not like them because there was no backsplash...so they returned them. They had them marked down to $300 and some dollars.  Mike saw them at Lowes and asked if they were just going to get rid of them.  The lady said that he could have them and what price did he want to pay.  He told her $50.00!!  She said great!!  We now have a great countertop and double sinks.Our little frig is not in this picture but it goes to the left of these cabinets!!  I can hardly wait to get all moved down there.  Mike is hoping by Christmas!!  YES!!!

Hope all is well in blogging land!!

Blessings,

October Fun

Mike and Roger very seldom have time off from work at the same time so today we opted to stay home from church.  I don't like to do that but I know that our apt downstairs is never going to get ready for us without them working!! 

Becky had them come help her for awhile outside!!  She had bought some cute Halloween items at Big Lots (her favorite store).  Roger, Becky and Mike worked getting the cute spiders attached to the garage.  Becky named them Jack and Jill which I think are very cute for these two furry creatures.   They have red eyes too!!  Good spiders!!  (I don't like spiders!!)

It was fun to watch them put all of this up!!  People as they drove by took a second look!!  Fun to watch that!!  Roger had collected a couple of big bags of spanish moss from Savannah last weekend when they were there!!  Now it is all over the house; the trees and the door of the house.  I don't think it will stay there long but it is really spooky looking!!

Jack and Jill on the garage with their spider web home!!

Today is a special day as it is the only 10-10-10 that any of us will ever see!!  The next one is in 400 years so I am not sure that any of us will see that one!!  Today many couples were getting married at 10:10 so that they could say all of the tens in years to come.."Remember when we were married?"

Not much else left here to blog about.  Wanted to share the pictures.  Will share them on facebook too.

Blessings,

Sandy

Thought for the day: 

Life without God is like an unsharpened pencil - it has no point.
