One of those unnecessary chores, I figure. Unless something is lost I see no need to ever move a refrigerator or stove. Let sleeping dirt lie, is my motto.

Moving the stove was easier, it was empty

Happy Halloween, Buddy! (P.S.: I'm too afraid to even glance at any discussions you've had down there in the politics board! )

I peeked once and ran far, far away! Those people do not fight nice at all.

The night is winding down for Trick or Treat. My family happens to live in one of the handful of neighborhoods that send children to the school I teach at. It is fun to see the faces of the neighborhood trick or treaters when they ring the bell and I open the door Yet.... Half the time my teen daughter greats them and then I look over her shoulder.

The nice thing about living up in the middle of nowhere is we do trunk or treat because the houses are a bit spread out. I sent the candy with a neighbor and am in a nice toast warm house in Olaf jammies I think it's better than regular house to house for the younger kids because it's well supervised and everybody knows everybody My ds headed over a couple of towns to a more densely inhabited neighborhood with his bff to get more loot which he plans on selling out of his locker

I'm never going to that politics board again, ha ha, but I'm starting the trip report in about an hour.

Yea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I get goof off time tomorrow

Is it just me or are people wearing jackets?

And, long pants...!?

Thanks! And guess who is going to have to hand out Halloween candy now... I just want to put a bowl of candy on the porch and whatever happens happens, hubs says he will sit on the porch and hand it out but it will probably end up being me. I think I'm back to not liking Halloween.

Sorry about dh. That just stinks, but I am sure he has a great attitude. Maybe play him some Dapper Dan videos on YouTube?

So DH took DS to school this morning for his first day in the new school. (I had a thing at DD's school) So he apped me that they got there and a girl DS knows from Chess came up and just took him under her wing, telling him where he could put his bag, and inviting him to come play tag with her and some other kids. Already a great start. I picked him up and asked him how his day was and he smiled so big and said "GREAT!" and I almost cried because I don't think he has EVER had a "great" day at school before. He made 4 friends...one of whom was assigned as his buddy to help him get used to the rules and the agenda, etc. So far, so good.
And my FIL got to go home today. YAY!!

Love all this great news!!

We don't get many trick or treaters here either. Small development and long driveways. We did Trunk or Treat the last 2 years but skipped it this year. Put 45 bags of candy on the front steps. The pumpkin was still half filled when I brought it in.

Did she give any indication about what the problem is? I mean obviously you must have higher blood pressure and cholesterol issues, but does it all add up to a diagnosis or is that what the other stuff is for? Good luck! I hope everything is ok!!

You know how some doctors are. Very closed mouthed. Don't want to comment until all the facts are in. The cataract surgery is not an emergency, and I am more than happy to wait.

 

[donaldtoo]

At the airport now . Donna is getting her nails done whilst we wait .

Sympathy like.
But, hope it was an awesome trip...!!!

Here's a bunny eating peanut butter

That was adorable! That bunny really liked his peanut butter, so intensely chowing down.

Oh my, hubs was just talking about the stuff he was going to do at church/work tomorrow. He was talking about moving a chair and something else. I asked him, "How are you going to do that while balancing on crutches?" This is going to be a long 6-8 weeks if he doesn't listen.

 

[Gabe1]

I'm sure you meant to send it to @MinnieM123

Yes, @MinnieM123 would have loved yesterday. Low 30's with high whipping winds that made your bones ache to the core.
Yep Minnie weather.

 

[Gabe1]

2 layers of fleece the heat is on but at least everybody will be gone today. With all the crazy schedules I'm a bit behind schedule.

But everyone gone. NICE!!!!!!

Uh Oh! I get the idea I'm going to find out what the heck happened soon enough as I read through today.

It was so darn yummy. The meat especially was spot on which isn't always the case with Beef for Fajitas. While it wasn't quite Uncle Julio's it was excellent and far more economical.

Rating: 4 Slurps

Yep, that's the main draw...darn good Tex-Mex at really good prices...!!!!! As you can imagine, we also have other places around here that are better, but, not by a whole lot either, and yes, they're indeed pricier.
I actually can't remember the last time I had their fajitas, though. These days, I usually order something like the chicken flautas, the stacked enchiladas, or the Elvis memorial combo platter.
Also, do ya' have any interior pics, please? Curious as to the atmosphere in comparison to the 4 locations we're familiar with.
Glad y'all enjoyed...!!!

I'm laughing over that video because that little pup is so polite and obedient--waiting to be hand fed each Cheeto . . . so NOT Jack! Initially, a few fell on the floor and he dove for them. Then I threw him a couple in mid-air (Jack often enjoys impromptu games with food). But then he started to get pushy and was trying to yank the bag off the table. Game over. I won, and I'm enjoying my Cheetos.

Well the jury is out...who handed out the candy?

 

[Gabe1]

Thanks! Which one do you like better? (Please say mine....)

Yours!

Something should go well for you today!
