DR John I hope you had a painless evening of dancing.

I did. Even though I disliked the therapy, it did work as it was supposed to.

This is the first year in the 25+ we've lived her that we did not decorate the house and yard for Halloween

Which reminds me, time to take the towels out of the washer and get them in the dryer

Sounds like my exciting life.

The rains are supposed to start again tomorrow so I won't be leaving candy out on the porch .  We'll see if I get any trick or treaters this year but it seems to be a dying tradition around here

So today was a sad day.  My brother texted me first thing this morning to let me know his Trixie passed in her sleep.  It was the best that found have been hoped for actually Since they had decided that they were going to bring her to the vet today to have her put to sleep because she was in so much pain but that doesn't make it any easier for them of course

So sorry for your loss.

The new trend seems to be Trunk or Treat, people gather in a parking lot and decorate their open  car trunks and kids go from car to car  to get treats .  They actually had 2 of these in town this weekend

Our church does that each year. This past Friday we supposedly had about 450 show up.

Yikes!  That reminds me that I need to get home and do laundry myself!  So, I'm off.

Until later!

Listening to the EP of songs from the Rebecca musical. Horrible, '80s sounding, bad London musical tripe.

Other than that, it's a complete waste of time. They miss the subtlety that Hitchcock brought to the movie. They also fail to use the time period properly. The music should be jazzy and '30s with some dissonance thrown in for edginess. Instead, it all sounds like stuff that wasn't good enough to be in Martin Guerre or the Pirate Queen.

This one involved a family with 4 young daughters moving into a house infested with baddies, including a killer doll and ghost of a little boy
