did YOU order Rain?

Time to

DIVE INTO MONDAY

and

back to the

"real world"

here!

Blessed Samhain to all

and

Happy Last Day of

October

Happy Halloween

.....

Loved that picture of

Olivia

the form

and

the hair with the water swirling upward!

OHHH

what a time

and

now as the rains fall

the girls were taken to the airport yesterday

and

AND

of all the flights delayed

wouldn't ya just know it

...

yep

it was theirs!

HAPPY HALLOWEENNNNIE

On the way home

I stopped for gas

(a rather necessary task from time to time)

only to discover

the

lid wouldn't open!

NOPE

and

it still won't!

guess it is yet another "gotcha, you are home"

to go along with

a delayed flight to Baltimore

and

this gas on empty with a lid that now will make

me go once again to

Nissan

and say

"Well do ya believe me know?"

[watch the rotten thing pop right open again for the mechanic like the last half a dozen times there]

AND

today

the rains have settled in

with

Olivia back to school telling of her adventures

and

da mama Joan beginning a new chapter with

her new career up there!

><

WHAT IS NEW WITH YOU???

A "Nor-Easter" in October?

Halloween in the rain for the kiddies dressed up?

Oh my goodness

and

the last day of

OCTOBER?

Guess it is almost time to stop celebrating my birthin day ...

LOL

and

I know it is time

for me to shift to

"OH I HAVE SO MUCH TO DO"

mode

as I will soon be on the road, in the sky for the month

of November!

I will be seeing those wonderful

HOSPICE folks in green

up in Ohio

at

the Crossroads Hospice

soon

as

November is HOSPICE MONTH

and

I will be their keynote speaker at their events there...

Along with hitting other areas

in our great country

starting on the 8th

so

now is the time

to

have my coffee

embrace the memories of those days

on island time

and

"get the shag on"

for all that is to come!

Where has the summer gone

dear ones?

We don't blink much here on this page

but

time sure does seem to fly

and

I wondered about that

fall back

with our time

only to discover that this year it is happening on the first Sunday in November!

And

doesn't this Halloween spending just boggle your mind?

With all we hear of

"no money"

and things being tight

I just learned that

US consumers just spent 2.5 billion on costumes, decorations and candy for this holiday!

NOW that is some "news"

and

rather spooky

but

if you really want to scare me,

come to my door dressed as

visa statements

and

that should just about scare me to death!

OR:

how bout this little tid bit to get your blood sugar up? "The average child collects an estimated 3,500 and 7,000 calories on Halloween night, according to Dr. Donna Arnett, chair of the Department of Epidemiology in the University of Alabama at Birmingham's School of Public Health. The estimate was based on nutrition facts of popular Halloween candies."

"- A 100-pound child who eats 7,000 calories worth of candy would have to walk for almost 44 hours or play full-court basketball for 14.5 hours to burn those calories, according to Arnett."

OMG

I sure do hope Kamryn will have a basketball in hand

if he is out there doing that

"trick/treat thing"

with those stats! 

Olivia let me know that

one determines the success of the day and night on Halloween by the heaviness of the bag at the evening end!

And this from a kid that does NOT eat a lot of candy,

but

tonight will be dressed as a

"banana"

and probably "skipping" from house to house

singing

"Bob Marley" tunes

LOL

"The United States produced more than 1 billion pounds of pumpkins last year, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture."

I wishing you a

great and fun last day of

October

and

may your bags be filled of and with

TREATS

and ohhh how I do pray

there is no frost on your punkin!

It is time to get very very busy here

time to

get

"into reality"

and

stop singing

"hot HOT hot"

and

listening to the sounds of the dolphins that still fill my senses

unless they plan to book my travel

and

to finish up with the arrangements

I left

in the works...

Did I mention

it is a gloomy and dreary

RAINING DAY IN FLORIDA TODAY?

but

ohhh how the sun is shining within

I hope that is the case where you are as well!

DONT' WORRY

about a "ting"

Have a blessed day dear hearts!

come rain

or

come shine!

The fire is burning

the sage is fired up, blessings on the rain drops

to all!

Walk In Beauty
