Happy Halloween!

Thursday, October 31, 2024

Halloween is one of my absolute favorite days of every year!

As happy as I was, there was some

truly disturbing news from Spain

The flash flooding in Valencia was horrific

A year's worth of rain fell in just eight hours

according to meteorologists

At last report, over 200 people had died due to this violent storm.

Such a tragedy.

Halloween means carving pumpkins

We received this message that the Stingers

will be playing bright and early on Saturday

It is highly likely that our grandson Jacob will not be suiting up for this one having been both home from school and practices all week due to near pneumonia conditions.

I love Halloween

From 10:00 am to Noon today,

I was a college student again

I an enrolled in a California State University, Channel Islands adult education outreach class, "Six Famous Assassinations."

We meet via Zoom for two hours each Thursday morning.

Last week we learned about the events leading up the slaying of Julius Caesar.

Today it was about Abraham Lincoln's demise which was quite interesting after our recent Civil War battlefield trip and the two Civil War books that I have been reading.

Next week, Archduke Franz Ferdinand takes the fall.

Laurie goes all out on Halloween!

Unfortunately, our neighborhood was bereft of Trick or Treaters. We only had two knocks on the door tonight with a total of four adorable little ones.

Now we have all of this candy left over and I'm still on a diet.

Speaking of which, I have lost 7 kilos/15.4 pounds in the last two months. 

Now, THAT'S a pumpkin!
