Random Thoughts
- Happy November. :)
- I ordered the Thanksgiving turkey today.
- Counter tops were installed this morning. They look wonderful! Photos to come later.
- We're getting snow this weekend! Flurries, 1 inch, 3 inches...it all depends on what forecast you read. ha. Three more plants to bring inside tonight!
- The Mister took the day off, so it feels like Saturday to me. I'll be confused all weekend now!
- We had the least number of trick-or-treaters ever last night! The neighborhood has grown up. I have candy left over! Is that good or bad? I haven't had a single piece today, though. ha.
Beautiful photo.
ReplyDeleteWe had absolutely zero trick or treaters . . . very unusual . . . :)
Hope you bought your favorite kind of candy!
DeleteBeautiful photo... send some candy to me! On second thought... don't! :-) Maybe the tricksters heard about your gargoyle and decided to give you wide berth! Hee hee.
ReplyDeleteIf he warded off the tricksters, that's a good thing!
DeleteI never get trick-or-treaters! -- silver fox
ReplyDeleteDo you have a gargoyle, too?
DeleteI am a gargoyle, doll.
Deletelaughed out loud at that one.... :)
DeleteI didn't get any trick or treaters this year because I put a notice on my door saying "Beware! A dangerous fire-breathing Dragon lives here! And she's not happy today."
ReplyDeleteOr maybe it's like your place Betsy, the kids here have all grown up and are probably in the pub.
lol . . . I'll remember that for next year Keith
DeleteI once saw a notice on a gate, "Beware Of The Dog ~ Survivors will be prosecuted!" . . . :)
Best one ever was "Trespassers will be shot, survivors will be shot again."
Deletelove it . . .
DeleteKeith, you're probably right. ..All grown up!
DeleteWhat a pretty blue sky!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the counter tops - bet it feels great to have them installed.
No trick or treaters for us tonight. It's nasty weather, snow, rain and wind so that doesn't help!
Oh, that's not good trick or treat weather!
DeleteEnough candy for a while at least
ReplyDeleteSo every day you can feast
And blah to snow
That just has to go
Might be a lovely snow. .
Deleteyou never know!
No such thing
DeleteAt any wing
It is at my wing!
DeleteMakes me want to sing!
ha.
I am excited to see your counter tops. We did not have trick or treaters either. No snow for us but it is colder here in GA.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how you could go all day and not have a piece of candy!
you left a comment that you like fruit cake...have you ever made an orange slice candy cake?
DeleteI have a terrible headache today and finally ate some candy thinking maybe chocolate would help
DeleteHa
I've never heard of that cake!
It's Halloween night as I type this in CA. Don't know if I will have any Trick or Treaters or not...but I have a few goodie bags ready. If they don't come...that's what I'll be snacking on tomorrow. BTW Lovely lovely picture. Can't wait to see your counter tops, and love your new profile words. You ARE wonder woman!!! Hugs
ReplyDeleteOh I didn't change my profile. ..it's been the same since I started my blog. ...that's why I did the WW costume...
DeleteBeautiful photo! It looks so much like the view from the side of our house.
ReplyDeleteSo glad your counters are in. Can't wait up see them.
We had five trick or treaters. That's a lot for us. We haven't had any in past years. But they have built more houses here and there are more kids now.
We had snow flurries today. Can't remember snow on Halloween before.
I think you're snow is coming our way!
DeleteThis is a beutiful pic Betsy! Look amazing!
ReplyDeleteYes....Beautiful fall! But snow tomorrow!
DeleteDo the kids Trick or Treat on the 30th in Ohio? Our neighborhood has grown up too, and we only had about 60 kids last year. There have always been around 300. This year I got smart (or maybe dumb!) and bought some Reeses and Almond Joy, which are my favorites. There is a call for rain tonight, so that may keep some of the kids away.
ReplyDeleteLaurie
It usually is on the 30th but it depends on the day of the week. We don't do it on the weekends and it never interferes with Friday night high school football. Ha. The date varies from county to county and is announced each year.
DeleteI didn't hand out any almond joys....ate all of those myself! Ha.
What? Hallowe'en is October 31. Period. How strange to move it around. Not up here!
DeleteWe had 40 kids on the door tonight. For a few years it went very quiet, the little kids grew up and now looks like the toddlers have turned into little kids :)
ReplyDeleteMany of ours were grand kids coming to the parents old neighborhood!
DeleteI'm still candy free ~~~ whee!
ReplyDeleteYou are the will power queen! I'm so impressed!
DeleteHi Betsy - that's great the counter tops are in ... looking forward to the photos. I'm candy free and Halloween free ... but good to catch your news and love the photo .. so glad we're not getting snow ... weather is winding down though .. cheers and enjoy your 3 day weekend with Hubby! Hilary
ReplyDeleteWe're hoping to get a lot done...so far, so good!
DeleteSnow already? It was 24 degrees here yesterday! Should have been about 13.
ReplyDeleteCelcius, I'm guessing. We had a touch of flurries this morning but nothing on the ground. I'm glad...it's too early!
DeleteYes Celcius. We are trying to wean ourselves off Farhenheit but it's taking a long long time. Sorry to red about your headache. I take it you don't get very many?
DeleteActually, I get a lot of them. Migraines that last 48 hours. Horrible. Trying to find the trigger....
DeleteHi Betsy,
ReplyDeleteI have been trying to catch up with blogs I love,nice to see you are flourishing.Fancy, snow we are still quite warm and Autumnal in Cornwall.Steve made a gruesome pumpkin face with a candle inside foe Halloween!
Hi there! So nice to hear from you. Yes, I suppose you could say we are flourishing..haha...one day at a time. Glad you aren't so cold to get snow yet....snow on jack-o-lanterns just doesn't seem right!
DeleteI enjoy your Random Thoughts posts!
ReplyDeleteBut I have to tell you, your sidebar is pretty fun, too!
lol....the lights are up and we survived!
Delete1. Thank you. Same to you.
ReplyDelete2. You will be lucky to get any. Canadian Thanksgiving is in Oct. so the supply is low.
3. I am looking forward to seeing the finished product.
4.Yuk!
5. Calm down today really is Saturday.
6. Not worry. Eat them yourself. The dentist will love you for it. ;)
lol...you're cracking me up! So, to summarize, I should calm down and eat lots of candy because the turkeys are all gone!
