P is for Pumpkin

Daughter Dearest is a big fan of Halloween. Unfortunately, she has been living in a country that doesn't appreciate the tricks and the treats. See her adventures here on Wellington Road in New Zealand. Even as a child, she enjoyed the costumes and the fantasy more than the candy. Moi, I'm all about the chocolate. Of course, before it became too scary out there on the sidewalks and we all became strangers to our neighbors, my mother and her friends actually handed out home made goodies ..... cupcakes, popcorn balls, caramel apples .....

Number Nine

It's TEXAS, people. We all want to be Tony Romo - or date him.

It's football-football-football. Friday night is for high school games and Saturday is for the colleges, and Sunday....well, Sunday is for the Cowboys. Except we are not happy sitting over here in the L column. So ..... you may be a good time Cowboy Casanova, leainin' up against the record machine, but you're runnin' for your life on the grid iron.

Dude, you stole our happy. You made us cry. We wanna uh-uh-uh-uh undo it.

Going Green for Halloween

Now that the humidity has left town, we can go outside and enjoy the trees at the Dallas Arboretum. The one I'm standing beside reminds me of the threatening trees in The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. Of course, Halloween does arrive at the end of the month. Scary.
