Made! Praying for your mom! Please let us know how she is doing.
We missed our fair this year, would have like to have gone!
Have fun and enjoy your fair! Stay warm!
For the past couple of weeks my mom and I had been planning on taking the grandkids to the Halloween school carnival - we went last night. We get just as excited or more excited than the kids! It's the school I use to go to and they really do a great job at putting together an awesome carnival. The running joke every year is "training for the cake walk". Several days leading up to the cake walk I had asked my daughter, "have the kids been training for the cake walk"? She laughed and I said, "This is no laughing matter, this is serious business"! :lol: We bought our tickets and went straight to the cake walk, we were the first participants and I won a cake! We did it a second time around and my granddaughter won a cake. I get so excited winning cakes even though I cannot eat them!!! Ha ha! Wheat/gluten allergy - bummer! It's still fun to win them.
We then went through the haunted house and I must say it was the best one they did. My 5 year old granddaughter wanted to go through it and usually they are a bit wimpy so I figured she could handle it but this year it was a lot spookier. She went through it with me and to make light of it I kept telling her, "Isn't this funny, none of this is real, just funny stuff"! I kept thinking she was going to bust out crying with all the stuff jumping out at us and all the screaming in there. As soon as we walked out she said, "Can we go again"????? I am glad she had fun! :lol:
I am so excited because the carnival for me is the kick off to the rest of the fun this holiday season - Halloween, Thanksgiving and of course, CHRISTMAS!!!

Snowflake, saw someone reply to your quote about spending a day with your mom. What big plans did you have? I hope you had a great time!
Awesome weekend for you all!
That's quite a drive for you to get to the candles but worth it! We have one fairly close to us, thankfully! We went a couple of weeks ago and they have quite a few festive fragrances out. Enjoy and let us know what you end up buying!
Good Saturday morning, my Christmas friend!
There's a frost on the ground here in the mountains!
We're having a great time, and getting ready to have breakfast at Joey's Pancake House here in Maggie Valley. I love that place!
I found Elf on the DVR this morning, so that's what I'm watching right now. Halloween is next week, but I'm feeling pretty Christmassy!
I hpoe y'all have a great day! cheesy

Have I mentioned how much I miss you guys?! I love reading about your daily events but having trouble keeping up. It's been busy around here and going to get busier but at least it's all good stuff! As I always say, if I missed some big news please feel free to PM me! (Thanks for those PM's/emails!)
We have some outdoor plans this weekend with an air show to attend but not a fan of record breaking heat - 90+! Let's see how long we can hold up! 90 is not just horrible but when you have an all day event it can be a bit tiresome. Oh well, Ob-la-di ob-la-da Life Goes On!!!

Thanks, CAH!!
Mom wanted me to take her to the winery I took my cousin to. It is beautiful as is, but even more so in the Fall. So se did that yesterday afternoon, then browsed around at Fall & Christmas decorations at our favorite shops. Then we went out for dinner, to a favorite Italian restaurant. After we ate, we headed home to spend time with Harlowe, and went for a nice long walk. Then we watched a movie and had pumpkin cheesecake
it was fun!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I love ELF! So excited for the cartoon!
Happy Anniversary to you & Nancy!

Good Morning, MMC!!! It's supposed to be a beautiful sunny day here with a high in the upper 60's. I'm enjoying it from the window in mom's hospital room. She is getting better but is really shaky today like normal. We are just waiting on physical therapy to come around and for her neurologist to come tell us he has no clue again. Then we will see if she gets to go home today or not. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!

Good morning, everyone!
I have a busy day ahead. Despite it being almost November, I have a tryout for the new semi-pro Ultimate team that begins here in Ottawa next summer. The weather does not look like it will be too cooperative, but we shall see how it goes!
In other news, I have been enjoying time with my dad. He's been in great spirits and we've just been hanging out. Earlier this week, he asked me if I wanted to go to the Ottawa Redblacks (Canadian Football League) game. He could get free box seats, food, and drinks. The game was last night. Instead, I had tickets to see "I Am Santa Claus" star and wrestling legend Mick Foley at Yuk Yuk's in Ottawa. I asked him if he wanted to join Mike (Kim and I's old roommate) and I at the show. He said he'd come along.
The show was excellent. Mick was hilarious. Mike and I were laughing uncontrollably for much of the show. My dad, who did not know many of the stories, also shared a few laughs, too. Before and after the show, Mick had a meet and greet with his fans. He signed memorabilia, 8x10 photos, and took photos with his fans.
As soon it was my turn, he said he loved my "Buddy The Elf" shirt. I told him that I was also a Christmas fanatic, and I may post on a Christmas forum to which he is also a member. He asked which one... I told him MyMerryChristmas.com. He only smiled at me. Such a great and genuine guy. It was nice to discuss a passion - other than wrestling - for a quick moment with a guy I watched on TV for much of my younger years.
Anyway, I should probably get some stuff ready. Have a great Saturday, everyone! The weekend is here! Let's all enjoy it.

Hey, hey, hey! Finally back! Got home last night about 1:00 a.m. Little girl got up at 4:30! So when I say I'm back, I mean I'm back....but sleepy.
Bambina got up, stood up in her little bed, and started saying Dada, Dada over and over. What's a Daddy to do? We got up and I held her! She kept laughing and slapping me in the forehead! She finally went back to sleep about 6:00. It's all good, though. She just got up a few minutes ago, so we are going to play.
I don't know what has happened since last weekend, but I hope everyone is ok and everyone's family is great.
See y'all later this afternoon!
