Heading out real quick here to watch one of my grandaughters play soccer...Her brother Brad was supposed to play this afternoon...but he's sick today...there is a 24 hour flu hitting the kids at their school.

Other than that I'm not sure...

Maybe work on the porch...I need to take advantage of this nice weather...I'm getting ready for our annual Halloween party....We call it the Harvest party...held on Halloween night. Our whole church comes out here for a bonfire.
We roast hot dogs,make somores,and I make a couple big pots of soup or chili.
Then the kids all go "Trunk or treating" Everyone that comes parks their cars in a big circle, opens their trunks and give candy out to the kids...They always get a huge haul of candy, probably more than going door to door and we know they are safe.

Well, today DD and DH and I are going to Costco for propane. Hear the price has gone up but will get it anyway. Got to get some groceries as we are invited out for dinner tonight and my contribution is cole slaw. Tomorrow it's off to a fall supper at a Ukranian church. Yummy. Also, no cooking for a couple of days.

I'm taking flowers to a friend for her birthday, then picking up a check for an ad in the newsletter, then home to clean off my desk and do laundry. I have to do stuff while my knees are cooperating!

I am going to clean the front porch furniture, and, if Bob feels up to it, we are going to see " An American Carol ". I need to wash some sheets too. I usually do that as soon as I take them off the bed, but I got sidetracked the other day.

Linda

Laundry, dishes and hemming jeans for DD. Later I am off to play Keno and some shopping.
DH is working until 9pm tonight. A 15 hour shift. I hate it but $ is good.

Taking my folks and heading south to Weirton WV and Steubenville OH. DD#1 is an athletic trainer at Franciscan University there and it's homecoming. DD#2 is driving down from Alliance Oh to meet us and we will be celebrating both of their b-days. We aren't all together very often (thank goodness for cell phones) so I'm loooking forward to the day and hoping the weather cooperates. Hope you all have a great day!

I have a cold, so I will be taking it easy. I have a hacky cough, and well....not so good on the bladder. Getting dressed will not be an option. I hate getting old.
I will probably give the new puppy a bath, and just hang out here at the house. Nothing so pressing it can't wait.
DH left for hobby lobby over two hours ago, can't imagine what he's up to.
It is a beautiful breezy sunny day here in Fort Worth, I hate to waste it. Maybe I will get a second wind, or a bug up my hinney and pull a few weeds. I'm bored, and it's not even noon.

Trin

Clean the house and part of the garden. The plants out in the garden are beginning to die. Later tonight I'll watch a movie or read. I have just today and tomorrow left on my vacation. ) :

We are going to the Oktoberfest at the fairgrounds!

So far I've wasted the morning piddling here. I'm gonna get my tiny hiny up and start Laundry. Work in the yard.

Try to get "tree" sap off of my outdoor cushions.

Watching Eureka on DVD, dishes, a little housework and setting up my sewing machine to get working on fall projects. Probably more coffee and nursing a 'budding' cold with tylenol. It's fall. Hoping the sun breaks out again today.
Fighting the urge to nap!

Went to a local parade this morning, going to start deep cleaning again, hoping to come up with a "comfort food" idea for supper as it's chilly out.

I just returned from having my picture taken for the church directory. Now I need to put a pot of soup on to cook, get some laundry started and finish cleaning my house. That is the price I pay from having a wonderful 6 day vacation in South Dakota.

Our youngest son is being confirmed at church this evening, along with 17 others. Bigbaby is still gimped up with her foot so I've been cleaning all day. The whole family (14 of us) will get together for supper this evening. My Mom is helping out with the meal big time.

Ron

Blessings to your son, Ron.

So far I've completed 2 loads of laundry, cleaned off a portion of a pile of filing, ran to the bank and the grocery store and played on this computer on-and-off for a few hours.I need to get back to my filing....but I detest it! :-(

Marinating a london broil to put on the grill later for dinner.

Tonight, DH and I are going to see An American Carol.

Spent the morning waiting for the plumber. Had a serious backup in the kitchen sink after I cleaned out the frig yesterday and dumped everything. Poor disposal couldn't take it. Luckily, it backed up in the garage in the laundry sink and not in the house. It was yucky! He didn't get here until after 11 so that shot the morning. This p.m. I took a nap and just woke up. Waiting for FSU/Miami (go 'Noles) game. Watching UF/Arkansas right now. I'd like to go back to sleep!!

I went to a subdivision wide yard sale with some friends. Didn't find much. Wrong neighborhood for good junk. Then we went out for margaritas and Mexican food. After that I checked on the old man I look after and took him something to eat. I went to the store and bought crab legs and rib eyes.
Wish someone was here to eat with me, but my husband is on the boat and may not come back before the 15th. Anyone want to drop what they're doing and run over here for supper? ;)

We're just home from our twins' birthday party in Midlothian, Tx. They had it catered--chicken and beef fajitas and yummy BD cake. My oldest granddaughter is home from A&M for the weekend, so she was able to be with us. Since DH drives like a maniac we made it in 2 hours. And that was making a potty stop and a stop at Bancroft Pecan in Powell, Tx!

Tonight my Sweetie Pie is staying up here while her parents go to some friends house for dinner. That's my day! Lots of highways, but home safe and sound, and, oh, by the way, my twins are the cutest babies ever!!

BFF and I spent another day working at my Mother's house. BFF was tearing out the closet shelves which will be replaced with wire shelves. I was using the steamer on the windows. They are sliders and there was so much dirt and gunk in the tracks they would barely open. It was time consuming but I got them all done except one in the living room. I can't get to that one because I have so much stuff piled in front of it. Got a charity picking it up next week.

I used the steamer in the bathroom on the wall and floor tiles except in the tub. That's for another day.

I also washed the walls in the laundry closet. Gross!! What a mess.

Finally decided to stop for the day and go buy some new doors for the bedroom closets. DH will have to pick them up in the truck tomorrow.

When I got home I bathed all three dogs and then I finally got a shower and dinner. I'm worn out now.

I helped out in the kitchen for our local charity sheep shearing day - there were about 70 hungry people to feed for morning and afternoon teas and lunch. It was fun but it rained a lot and some sheep were too wet to do, so they will have to be done another day. It is Sunday morning now in Aus and I am waiting for my son to call me to go and help him with some fencing. I am getting quite proficient with the nail gun and chain-saw. I am hoping he is sleeping in for a bit longer as it is still chilly and I am nice and comfortable here in front of the fire. We are having a late burst of wintery weather after being quite spring-like a week or two ago. Beth

Sewing, sewing and sewing. Making costumes for the local theatre group which is doing "Give My Regards to Broadway". I'm making nurse dresses, hats, aprons. A glamorous dress for Mona Monroe (larger lady, had to put 2 dresses in to one larger one and other odds and ends. Finished the hats and dresses. Need a fitting for Mona's dress and need some inspiration for the aprons. This is set in WW 1.

I've been doing as little as possible. I went to DD and friend's pre-Halloween bash last night after no sleep the night before. Today I have a headache and sore feet from wearing a wig and shoes with some heel for several hours. I am annoyed by anyone and everything. I should go back to bed and skip the rest of today. LOL
