World Series....LA Dodgers 1- Houston Astros 1 in the 5th inning. GO Dodgers GO!!

Annie

Woot! Grats to Amy and Emily. And thanks for taking pity on us runner-ups, Annie!

Congratulations, Amy and all!

Annie, I went to Costco on Saturday and did not buy a single thing that you bought or in fact, any of the 25 options that you listed.

EDITED

Emily, you should have seen all the other "stuff" I bought at Costco. I did not dare bore you girls with any of that....LOL! I tried to simplify the list you had to pick from!! It is pretty easy to get carried away at Costco!! At least I get out of their pretty quickly!!

And Emily, being new to our wonderful state....are you getting excited (or not) over our new additional gas tax of 12 cents per gallon???? OUCH!!

Annie

yay! Amy and Emily! you girls are hard to keep up with! haha! Emily I could see you winning to the very end on these TV game shows!

I am losing my marbles....I typed Amy's name instead Of Emily's....No Emily lives In CA, not Amy!! I am not even drinking any wine.....LOL! Off to edit....

Annie

Annie -- Lmao. I was thinking: "Omg, I'm so scatterbrained lately. There's a good chance I even congratulated Amy on her move and then forgot about it."

Annie, I wasn't aware there was a new gas tax. I just know that gas was almost a dollar more a gallon than I was paying in Nashville.

As it starts to get cool here, I could find myself dreaming of moving to California. I love warm and sunny! Annie, thank you for all the fun games!

Erica, I can definitely relate. I have been so scatterbrained that I think I may have lost my brain somewhere along the way! I don't even think the wine would help me!

So happy today is Wednesday. My motto for this week is "I will survive"

Have a great day! Amy

Happy Wednesday!!

Amy....good motto "I will survive",,,,,

Emily, I think the new 12 cent/gallon gas tax kicks in on November 1.

Good morning! You all are having so much fun! I would love if someone could tell me how to find my trade lists as have alot to add! I am doing ok, Annie! Has been a very stressful year and a heartbreaking one, but I am surviving it! Trying to stay calm and relax alot! Do alot of praying! Miss everyone!

Melinda, wonderful to see you on here again. I'm no help with the new sysyem. I've slowed down a lot and am not on much

Jeanne, many thanks for the yummy smelling package that arrived in my mail.

Ginger Apple Pie spice will be taste tested on Jack as he loved apple pie.

The Magic Dust Seasoning has me going back for more and more sniffs. WOW it smells awesome. I'm trying it on some popcorn ASAP!

And, caraway seeds are perfect. I plan to double my herb space next summer and I do love to bake rye bread. Now I'll start looking for other ways to use caraway. Seems to me that is one of the seeds in the Amish mix for children to nibble during church. I'm going to look that up

Thanks to Jeanne and Annie. Great swap.

Margo, you and Adrian are in my thoughts and prayers((( HUGS))))

Melinda - So sorry about your rough year. It's nice to see you back. Here's how to access your trade lists:
click "Your Houzz" (top right corner) > "Edit Profile" (top right) > "Advanced Settings" (on the left side of the page) > then scroll about half way down the page and you'll see "My GardenWeb Trading List." That is where you compose your list. You can click and drag the box to make it bigger, so that you have more area to work with.

On another note, I went back and caught up on bingo and unless I missed a word, I need 4 more.

Tomorrow is a day I don't have to work or drive anywhere. Looking forward to relaxing and planting bulbs. Ah, garden therapy. Margo.

Melinda, good to see you. Sorry that it sounds like you have had a tough year.

Margo, glad Adrian was able to have the surgery, especially as that must mean the EKG abnormality wasn't too serious. Sounds like he had a great team of doctors.

I need three more words for Bingo.

Good news, Margo, very happy for you both!

Shirley!

Thank you all so much for the hellos! And. Big thank you to Erica! Now I can update my lists! Good luck to whoever gets Bingo! Seems like you all are having a great time!

Wonderful package Beth!!

Margo, fantastic news about Adrians's surgery. So nice when things go smoothly, without a hitch....knock on wood!! Take care of yourself Margo...

Shirley (sjc), any cemetery excursions lately???? Hope all is good with you!

Thanks Erica for assisting Melinda on the Houzz site!!

Melinda, welcome back to FOTESS. Hoping the coming year brings all "good" your way....be well!

I have not looked at your BINGO cards. I will take a looky loo in the morning to see if anyone is close. Good Luck!

Happy Evening!

Annie

Morning All! And welcome back, Melinda! Nice to see you again!

Annie, no recent cemetery excursions, hoping to get a few in when/if I go back to PA for Thanksgiving.

Been dealing with some breathing problems, but everything is under control and thank goodness, I haven't had pneumonia! Feeling pretty good!

Hope everyone else is doing well,

Shirley!

Melinda, welcome back!!!

Shirley, hope you breathing continues to improve!

Margo, wishing Adrian a speedy recovery!

It has been a tough year. I pray 2018 is really good!

Melinda, good to see you again.

Shirley, every time I go by an old cemetery, (and there's a lot around here), I think of you.

Finally was able to sleep in for the first time since Adrian broke his ankle. Supposed to have had our first freeze last night so put my potted plants in the garage. Now I'm going to go get my bulbs from the old house in the ground.

Good day all. Margo

BINGO TIME.....GSD Rhett stopped by this morning.....and he is a wonderful fetcher........Good Luck!

Edited to add....

Shirley, take care of yourself!! Happy breathing.....

Happy Day

Annie

Good morning all, I'm so sorry to have joined this swap and disappeared. Life has thrown me one curve ball after another. I should have backed out but wanted to play.

Mandy, I got your package from my mailbox on Tuesday. I'm so sorry for not posting sooner, I feel terrible. It was a great package and I'm looking forward to trying out the chili seasoning and the càjun seasoning mix. Thanks so much.

Lisa, "stuff" comes up in life that we have to deal with...... Hoping the curve balls have ceased and that November brings peace your way.......

Everyone has received their swap.....I so enjoyed the swaps you FOTESSERS put together.

Heidi, great idea for November.....simple...check it out!

Happy Friday!!

Annie

Lisa - I'm so glad it arrived! My husband threw out the tracking #, so I couldn't confirm on my end. I hope you enjoy, and I hope your November is a bit calmer! No worries about the delay!

As we head into the holidays, I know it tends to pick up!

Mandy

Evening, All!

Well, believe it or not, we are supposed to get snow tonight - I am definitely not ready for that! I still have yard work to do and have to put in the rest of my storm windows. Good Grief!

And the NBA is off to a roaring start. I'm not looking for Detroit to go too far, and, Annie, I am really enjoying watching the Lakers! They have a young team but they are really fun to watch. And it's not just Lonzo Ball! Brandon Ingram and Kyle Kuzma are really looking good!

However, I'm not watching anything tonight, no games shown in my area, which is a real bummer. Just when Jimmy Butler returns for Minnie! Drat! Watching the games on computer is just not the same!

Well, hoping we don't get that snow and hoping all of you are doing well,

Shirley!

Good Morning/Afternoon Fotessers,

Shirley, I need to get back in to the Lakers...used to love them. I must admit, as much as I love sports, the baby games, primma donna behavior of pro athletes (primarily football) really turns me off, hence I stick with college sports for the most part.

BINGO Time....three fetches for you this morning!!

13.Herb Infused Mint Chocolate Truffles

Enjoy your Saturday!!

Check your BINGO cards....I just took a looky loo at your cards.....someone has BINGO!!

Not me. I still need one more.

Possibly people are not checking their cards.......so I will pick another selection.

First person to call BINGO wins......

BINGO TIME.....

Congrats Jayeanne...You Win BINGO......anyone else?

Happy Evening,

OK girls this swap is a wrap......Has been a pleasure!

I am headed out of town for a few days, then home briefly and then out of town again.....sooooo, prizes will probably not go out until around the 13th, 14th or 15th....I will email/pm the winners after I send out.

Happy Halloween......BBBBBOOOOOOO!

Annie
