But occasionally, the really little kids pre-school I'm guessing come around as early as 4;00. You do know I was talking about MY eating a lot of candy!😁🎃 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckynana Posted October 31, 2023 #106952 Share Posted October 31, 2023 22 years ago today, our very first grandchild, Erin Elizabeth, was born, making Jim and I grandparents! Erin stole my heart that day. We are so Blessed, and so proud of the beautiful young woman she has become.

Knowing how "the powers that be" think, they probably were being ultra cautious. Might give someone ideas. I know that was not @clochette intent and no regular to this thread would do anything but still, the admin are ultimately responsible so better safe than sorry. 21 minutes ago, dani negreanu said: And Lenny's too.... 20 minutes ago, Luckynana said: I guess I didn't see Lenny's😔 Missed it too so they were quick.

Usually get between 80-100 kids so there is plenty of surplus. Then I swept the sidewalk & driveway, changed out all the exterior burnt-out light bulbs to ensure the outdoor is properly lit and started the creepy Halloween music. Put on my "costume" which is a t-shirt with the phrase "Zombie Outbreak Response Team" (lame, I know) on it. 3:50 pm, probably still have hour away before the first kids arrive & I'm down to 330 pieces of candy & for some reason, my belly is feeling a little unwell. .Opps! Those kids better get here soon! 😄 We put out our pumpkin with a battery candle inside and a bowl of sweets on the front door step as we were delivering Isaac home during prime Halloween trick or treat time. By the time we got back all the sweets were gone. It's not that big a deal here, though bigger than it use to be when my kids were small. Mostly it's young children in groups with their parents around 5 to 6pm. They only call at houses with a pumpkin outside. Sometimes you get older kids coming around later in the evening 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I don’t think I can go back and read everything I’ve missed as I’m getting ready for knee replacement on Friday. If I’ve missed birthdays, special occasions, sickness, problems or accomplishments I’m sorry. Know that I care about all of you. I want to thank all of you that took time to follow and post on my live review thread. I broke a new record for me with over 67,400 views and over 1.100 posts. I am humbled by your support and hope I can do better in the future. I will try and keep up after my surgery but as you know being drugged up with painkillers I will be doing a lot of sleeping. Or maybe not as I am being prescribed a portable connect pedal bike that sends data back to my surgeon. Medicare covers it and it will be delivered today. I am supposed to use at least 3-5 times a day for 10-20 minutes. Combine that with physical therapy 2-3 times a week I will be pretty busy. At least I should be ready for Beyond in April. Cheer. You did sn excellent job on your blog funny, informative and interesting and great videos. Good luck with your knee surgery on Friday. I hope it goes well and you're back to fully fit soon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all the recommendations we've given it another go and it does get better once you get to know the characters We, too, struggled to get through first episode and plan on giving it another try. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to all who sent me best wishes for my cancer treatment and recovery, my grateful thanks. This has been a summer that did not exist, with radiation 5 days a week for 7 weeks, weekly chemo and followup blood tests. I did end up with 2 day day stay at the local hospital to receive 2 units of blood when my hemoglobin levels became too low. Having the CC community express their well wishes is priceless. To all, again my thanks. I hope you are having another wonderful week with nice weather onboard Adventure. And most importantly hope you are feeling stronger everyday and enjoying your pumpkin seed rolls😊 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend runs a weekly ladies golf group, and on the Tuesday closest to Halloween does a "Witches Tournanent". I barely make it through 9 holes so don't do the weekly 18 but have been participating with the witches since we've been here. This year with Halloween falling on Tuesday it was prime time for 24 of us. Waiting on the "official" group photo but in the meantime, not the greatest shot but was a fun day. Yes a few do play in full witch attire. Great outfit! Sounds like a really fun day.🎃 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare h20skibum Posted October 31, 2023 #106975 Share Posted October 31, 2023 (edited) Our trick or treat hours just ended. We still had about 40 pieces of candy left, and we were telling several of the kids to take a few. We set up a card table at the end of our drive, and some of our immediate neighbors do the same. We spend the evening catching up with everyone and spreading neighborhood gossip. By the end of the evening, it was down to 38°, and we are supposed to get snow overnight. I am not ready for that. It is a good thing we had some warm, cinnamon apple cider with a little fireball added to take off the chill.
