Spooky Sight


What a Spooky Sight in front of one of our new doors!
Thanks! Jordan and Megumi, for the pics of the girls. Hope they had fun in their costumes! There sure was a spooky figure sitting next to them on the porch! Weren't the girls scared of him? Wonder how many trick or treaters had enough courage to approach him?!
Wonder what your visitor thought of Halloween?
Six of the eight new doors are in! And what an amazing difference it makes in the hallway! Really brightens it up and even though I eventually intend to paint the woodwork to match, the contrast with the stained woodwork makes me think twice about it! We'll see.
Two more doors to go and the project is finished. It may be that when Dennis gets here he'll be able to help with that too. There's always something to do around here!
FYI--the blouses on the girls' costumes were meant to be tucked in but they look cute as they are!
Bowling today and then my hair! And then to get busy and try to straighten up this mess. Hardly know where to start! But probably should make the guest room a priority. Don't know when I'll get home today--want to do some shopping as well so once I leave at 8:15 it will be very busy.
Played ping-pong puppy with Chloe last night but she's pretty smart. She quickly figured out that all she had to do was run back and forth between Dad and me and she'd get a treat so she didn't wait to be called. The same way with the frisbee--she's pretty good at getting and returning it but soon realized that Jake was bigger and faster so she'd let him get it and bring it close--then grabbed it away from him to bring it to us!
We need to capture that intelligence!
Those patches that Megumi left here are magic! Once I took it off yesterday I barely noticed any pain! Might put one on just for insurance today. Cold is better too. Think Dad's has improved but he woke up with a pretty gravily voice this AM. He's got a lot of hardware to put in the doors!
Gotta run and get ready!
Peace!
Carol

Hi Mom,
Glad you got the pictures!
They had allot of fun in their costumes. I think I am actually learning how to enjoy Halloween sober! Last year was kind of a drag, bit this year I had allot of fun. If you got the picture of me in the Grimm Reaper outfit you would not be able to see my ear to ear grin. Of course my fun was at the expense of others. I will explain, I was on candy hand out duty. Instead of hanging out inside the house I put chair right behind the hedge in front of the house. The trick'or'treaters would walk right past me and ring the doorbell. at that time from my chair I would say "HAPPY HALLOWEEN!" I did not jump out at anyone just sat there. But I got quite a few exciting reactions. I made a few peoples night too so it was so worth it.

Glad the salonpass is doing its trick for you. and hope Dad gets better real soon.

Love
Jordan
