Saturday & Sunday, Oct. 31 & Nov. 1, 2020
A "Trick-or-Treat-less" Halloween it was thanks to our old humbug, the Coronavirus.
It would be a tough night for
children and parents everywhere
In these socially distanced times, going door-to-door asking for candy was just not a good idea.
No one came to our door as we kept the outdoor lights off and we were not giving out treats as is the norm.
Similarly, for health issues our grandkids, Mary and Jacob, were not hitting the streets either.
Leave it to Laurie to successfully fill the void.
We started with a horror story . . .
. . . this one terrified me to no end!
Laurie had the house decked
out in her usual eerie style
Pumpkins are a MUST!
So are bat bones
Orange and black it was
EVERYWHERE!
Now, as for costumes . . .
Laurie was looking GOOD!
I HAVE to get more sleep!
Jacob had his backyard cemetery
looking perfect before
donning his outfit for the night
Mary was a Disney Princess
No surprise there.
Mike was former AC Milan star . . .
"Rino" Gattuso
Jacob was a stylish Spiderman
A backyard brawl broke out
Spiderman was just too much for Gattuso turned faux-Spiderman.
Get near the Princess and
he'll throw a web on you
Good Contreras family photo
We took a break to dine on some
delicious eye balls swimming
in aqueous humor
While we took a 30 minute walk, Laurie and Vanessa hid 64 plastic orange eggs filled with coins, candy or small Halloween toys in the front and back yards to substitute for not being able to go out tonight.
Jacob was the first one to find 32 eggs and had to stop searching to allow Mary to find her half of the loot.
Amazingly, they cooperated.
Lots of sibling rivalry and
love with these two
Overall, it was a good Halloween
It was Jacob's weekend for
a sleepover, so we bowled
Thoughts from the net . . .
Somewhat true . . .
. . . truer . . .
. . . COMPLETELY true!
Sunday was NFL GAME DAY
Los Angeles Rams (5-2)
at
Miami Dolphins (3-3)
We were looking for a good game and a win today against a Dolphins team making a QB change to start this game.
I felt good about the Rams chances.
But then again, I always do before their games.
While we waited for kickoff, Mike went up into our attic to find some of his treasures in storage.
His best find was . . .
. . . his AWESOME
Barcelona Dragons jacket!
GREAT DRAGONS LOGO!
The Dragons played in the World League of American Football from 1991-92 and again from 1995-97 after the WLAF suspended operations in 1993-94.
They were also part of NFL Europe from 1998-2003.
The Barcelona club played in four World Bowls in 1991, 1997, 1999 and 2001.
They were World Bowl Champions in 1997.
Meanwhile, back in Miami . . .
The joys of being a Rams fan
The Dolphins scored a defensive TD on a 78 yard fumble return and had a Dolphins team record 88 yard punt return for a TD.
The Dolphins defense also returned another Rams turnover to the one yard line. Miami scored another TD on their next play.
While the Rams defense played well but it is hard to win when you have your opponents scoring 21 points via Special Teams and Defense.
Four Rams turnovers did not help nor did not scoring more TDs on a day when Los Angeles had 90 offensive plays (471 yards) to Miami's 47 (145 yards).
Next up for the 5-3 Rams is a bye week followed a November 15th game at home vs. the 6-1 Seattle Seahawks.
It's going to be a bumpy ride . . .
