Halloween


Welcome to our Halloween Home!
Here's some pics from our party.
It was fun and I'm a little sad about taking all the 
decorations down.



On to Thanksgiving and the holidays.
(My decorating ideas came from marthastewert.com; 

If you look to the left you'll see the button for NaBloPoMo-
National Blog Posting Month. 
Since I'm taking part, I'll be posting daily. (Hope you don't get sick of me!)
Todays subject idea was this-
If your next meal was going to be your last,
what would it be?
Mine- a really good chimichanga, spanish rice,
and chips and salsa.
Washed down with a diet Coke, of course.
What would yours be?

    mine would be mexican too -- today as we drove home (and I was hungry but vowed not to eat out much anymore) I looked at Chipotle and Cafe Rio with longing eyes.

The only time I remember running on purpose was when my sister was chasing me with a butcher knife.  And, when my friend's rooster chased me out of the yard.  Of course, I did a lot of running when my kids were little and found joy in trying to get me to chase them.  My running always involves chasing. But, running for fun?  It's become a bit of a plague.  Everyone seems to be taking it up.  I see them running in the morning when I'm 'running' to WalMart for milk.  Or in the evening, there they are, jogging down the street as if they have nothing better to do. Don't they have anything better to do? Also, running is expensive. You can't just throw on your five dollar WalMart keds, and ten dollar WalMart sweats and ru...

The Handy Man's parents still live in the house they bought when he was in kindergarten. Each room holds memories for him. The basement where he helped paint his mother's freezer.  The backyard is where he played and ran from the torments of his older brothers. He can name the families that live in the houses up and down the street.  If we went to church with my in-laws, there would be many worshipers who could tell me stories about my husband and his childhood antics. They'd smile and resist the urge to pinch his cheeks.  My family moved a lot when I was growing up. A lot. There were two very long trips between Idaho and Arizona that I remember well. Laying in the  way-back of our green station wagon, watching the sky fly by at a brisk 75 mph.  Mom packed lunches and wet washcloths in plastic bags for the long journey.  Stops at the rest area were mini adventures where we were left to explore the rocks and cactus. The house where we lived dur...
