Happy Halloween

Neighbors, Brad and RoseAnn, came over for dinner and we had a wonderful evening catching up. They spent most of the summer and early fall at their New Hampshire home. They invited us to visit them next year and we plan to do just that.

Since we don't have any children living near us, we didn't have to plan for trick or treaters. AND we didn't have to worry about ghosts as Ghostbusters visited our house and cleared them out. We are so lucky to live in a neighborhood where we have our own personal Ghostbusters. Hope everyone had a wonderful and safe Halloween.

BOO!

It's October and in the Midwest it's Harvest time, but here in our village of Bridgeport at Miona Shores, it means the Boo Bags are being delivered. We received one Sunday night sometime. I didn't hear a knock as we were watching "Iron Man 2" which has lots of action and loud explosions. Fun movie. A Boo Bag is similar to a May Basket in that it contains goodies and in return I had to deliver two Boo Bags to neighbors who did not have a sign on their front door with a ghost saying "I've been booed." I think its best to be one of the last to be booed as then there's noone left to boo. Actually, it was fun to give as well as receive. I created this centerpiece using the scarecrow which came in our bag.




One morning as I was moving my orthodics from one pair of shoes to another, I started thinking about the different shoes I have for my different activities. I decided to line them up and take a picture for you. Pretty exciting, huh?

New and Old

Today we were blessed with another grandson. As Erik wrote to me, "He has arrived ... Jeffrey Erik ... 7 lb 13.5 oz ... 21in long ... This is what makes life so beautiful ... Giving life. We've already had our 1st father son talk & he listened so well. I'm definitely in love again."


That's the new...the old is Chubby Checker. Friends invited us to join them for the dinner show. It was fun, but lasted only an hour. Chubby didn't have too many hits. The Twist became popular in 1960, my freshman year in college. It resurfaced in 1962 and again became #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. In 1988, "The Twist" became popular once again, due to a new recording of the song by The Fat Boys featuring Chubby Checker. Chubby was born Oct. 3,1941, sharing a birthday with our Moondog.
