    Jayeanne.... Your envelope is in the mail and "should" be delivered on Saturday. I have the tracking number should it be needed. Here is a poem about October for all to enjoy... soon we'll see November and its cold winter stay: October's Party - George Cooper October gave a party; The leaves by hundreds came- The Chestnuts, Oaks, and Maples, And leaves of every name. The Sunshine spread a carpet, And everything was grand, Miss Weather led the dancing, Professor Wind the band. The Chestnuts came in yellow, The Oaks in crimson dressed; The lovely Misses Maple In scarlet looked their best; All balanced to their partners, And gaily fluttered by; The sight was like a rainbow New fallen from the sky. Then, in the rustic hollow, At hide-and-seek they played, The party closed at sundown, And everybody stayed. Professor Wind played louder; They flew along the ground; And then the party ended In jolly "hands around."

    Shirley! My amazing package arrived yesterday. Brian and I spent the day away from home, and checked the mailbox after we returned late last night. To my relief, your package and another was in there. I am starting to wonder if something drastic must be going on at our regional mail distribution center.... The prize contents are amazing! Thanks so much, but especially for the tea and paper products. Really, I need to come hang out with you and learn how to make some of these cards and gift tags. They are so beautiful. ❤️

    Shirley - IT's never JUST a GAME! lol. J/K...The world series consists of 7 games. Best out of wins the whole kit and caboodle. Cubs did not have a good showing last night...stinky Indians. OH WELL...here's to the next 4! Annie - I just visited California for the 1st time ever last May and I loved it. I wish I'd had so much more time. It was a whirlwind. I had to go to San Francisco on business but managed to see the ocean, the bay, the GG bridge, Alcatraz, The Giant Redwoods, the Bay Bridge, The Fisherman's Wharf, the Sea Lions on Pier 39, China Town, and Coit Tower all while we were there! I had such a lovely time. Cannot wait to visit again! Now only 4 states left for me to see!

    Amy, wow! LOL OH I absolutely love the deviled eggs with the gherkins, lol. Did you add the gherkins on the tops? DH thinks its so funny that I do that, but anyone that tries those, loves them, LOL! I have more of those seasonings if you would like or need more, I keep those on hand until I run out and then will make more. (usually only twice a year, around the time I harvest and dehydrate my peppers) The chocolate habanero salt sounds incredible on your scalloped potatoes! YUM ...My favorite is the cajun ghost, I use that with all kinds of things.... burgars, meatloaf, soups, olive oil dipping & dressings, fries, baked potatoes, potato salad, shrimp, pork chops, beef kabobs, steak tips, even toss a pinch of it on top salads... the list is endless.... The kodiak spice rub is DH's go too for salmon. I dont care for Salmon but he loves it! We do lots of tailgating and bbq's ...so that 'seasoning' is sorta one of my specialtys. Can you tell I enjoy cooking ....LOL So happy to hear you enjoyed those! =) heres a few others too....Let me know if you need more! LOL

    GAME 4

    GIRLS + FUN = COLLEGE FOOTBALL

    OK FUN GIRLS it is almost over. We are down to the nitty
    gritty!!

    Everyone has their points going in to week 4....BUT.... a
    few different twists for this coming Saturday.

    *You will each have the favorite (so the oddsmakers say) team
    in the game, as you did last week.

    *But this week you will get TOTAL POINTS scored in the game
    by both teams.

    *If your team wins, you get an additional 10 points. If your team loses, I will take 10 points off.....BOOOOOOOO!

    *And the kicker....hahaha....each of you will be playing one
    other person, but you each have your own game... so there will be 6 WINNERS. Each WINNER gets a Prize!!

    *You want the game to be very high scoring (both teams) AND
    want your team to WIN the game.

    ***Because Erica had less than 50 pts...she received a 10
    point bonus perk.

    WEEK 4 (Saturday, October 29)

    *Next to your name are your total points entering week 4.
    The team next to your name is your team (which is the favorite in the game they
    are playing in). You will see yourself somewhere below. In each matchup,
    whoever has the most points, when all is said and done, will win. EX If Shirley ends up having 201 pts and Jayeanne has 199 pts...Shirley Wins. And the same goes for the other 5 matchups.

    Any Q's ask.

    So here are the matchups....

    *Shirley (159 pts)...Tennessee

    PLAYS

    *Jayeanne (158 pts)... Florida

    ______________

    *Ruth (121 pts)....Louisville

    PLAYS

    *Emily (108 pts)....TCU

    50 points

    Jeanne by two little points.

    Read left to right to see how I scored.... EX Shirley.....she
    had 159 pts going in to week 4. Her team was Tennessee.....they LOST. 159 pts + losing points
    (L)+21 plus the other teams points of 24, minus 10 because Tennessee lost...for
    a total of 194 pts.

    Good Morning/Afternoon FUN GIRLS,

    I spoke with Shirley yesterday via the telephone. She did receive her wonderful GIRLS JUST WANNA HAVE FUN package from Faye.... She will post all the FUN details after her internet is up an running.

    I just checked the tracking on Breanne's GIRLS JUST WANNA HAVE FUN package to Erica....delivery was yesterday, Oct 31. I am sure we will be hearing from Erica soon.

    Some prizes have already been sent and received....RE: Prize winners for BINGO, GIRLS + FUN = COLLEGE FOOTBALL and TWO FUN GIRLS AND A FUN GUY....I will let each of you "winners" know when they are sent out, via PM or email. Tiz easier for me to do it that way versus posting here.

    Happy Fun day!!

    So apparently my post from the other day thanking Breanne somehow disappeared. It was full picture and all! Let me try this again (and sorry Annie that you had to ask me via message. I promise that I wasn't slacking).

    Breanne -- Thank you so much for the super fun girly gift pack that you sent! I loved everything!

    Here's what I got in my pack: mini arugula pot, peony journal, assorted seeds (especially excited about the sunflower), nail appliques, foam pedicure thing, and some fabulous spices (Bay Leaf, Epazote, dried Cascabell peppers, and Annatto). The annatto is completely new to me. Luckily Breanne included info and recipes to go along with it. I am super thrilled to get to try this. Thanks again, Breanne, for such a fantastic fun pack!

    (Again, profuse apologies for whatever posting problem I encountered the other day).

    Erica...no problem!! You always post when you send and receive. I figured you were out of town. When I read yesterday that the package had been delivered (I am pretty sure it said "porch")...I thought she is out of town...Oh my, I hope it does not get ripped off.

    And I have posted before and the posts have disappeared more than once....no apologies necessary.

    FUN GIRLS we are done here except for Shirley posting her GIRL FUN from Faye in the next few days.

    Thanks all for playing...
