Happy Saturday, everyone! This morning started out really dark and grim, but now the sun is shining brightly. I like it this way better.
Bill - Sorry that you have the flu. Feel better real soon. How is Rita feeling? Not having to watch commercials and political garbage is a definite reward of recording shows. I hate sitting through commercials watching "live" programs. For some recorded programs DISH will ask me if I want to skip commercials and of course I say yes. Where there should be a commercial, we get about a 5 second blip and it's right back to the show. Those are my favorite!
Kathie - Leave it to you to be following the World Series! I couldn't have told you who was playing and who wasn't!! Neighbors of ours are huge Phillies fans. They also make the big bucks. I'd put money on their attending at least one or two of the games! Must be nice, huh? How nice that you gave yourself a pedicure. Aside from not worrying about causing bleeding, you saved yourself some money. That's always a good thing.
Lee - Good for you and Lu-Ann saving all that money on the tiles for the basement. Good catch on that one. Since Costco moved from in Orlando, I have not been in a Costco. We dropped our membership. These days we just stick with Sam's & BJ's, but I really liked Costco best.
Be careful moving all that drywall. None of you guys wants to throw your backs out.
Nancy -I just couldn't do all my Christmas shopping that early. The neighbor I mentioned about who is the Phillies fan, had all her shopping finished and wrapped back in August! That included 5 grandchildren and at least 8 adults. I told her at that time that I hated her for doing things that early. Don't make me say that to you now!!!
Dave - Yes, we really do like the anise flavoring. I not only use anise seeds in my pizzelles, I also use anise extract to get a more intense flavor. Our whole family like them that way. No thank you on the mothball and cedar chest flavoring. LOL
Our dinner last night was a big hit. I had wanted to take a picture of the 2 full pans, but the vultures dove into it before I had a chance! They also consumed a big bowl of salad with lots of goodies in it and almost all of the angelfood and pineapple cake. Might have to make another cake for when Gary & Ethan are here for dinner tomorrow.
Tonight is Hellalago. It should be a perfect night with temps in the 70s. Aside from having a haunted house they have rides and games for the kids. Then at 9:00 they have fireworks because doesn't everyone have fireworks for Halloween? Never could figure that one out considering that they don't allow fireworks here for July 4th and New Year's, but this is ok. Go figure ...
Time to see what Bert is up to. He's been fiddling with something in the bedroom and that's never a good thing, if he hasn't told me his plans. I should have sent him for hot bagels this morning, but forgot.
Have a terrific day, everyone!
