happy halloween, hope your diet has been better than mine.ha ah candy, pumpkin seeds candy pumpkin seeds pumpkin seeds pumpkin seeds candy CALIFLOWER and stuffing for lunch. i had to get out for a walk. barney walked with me the whole way in my property. here are some fall pictures.

well, i got in the mood to cut pumpkins and eat the seeds. ever since nora mentioned it. i had a kit to carve the pumpkins and thats what i did tonight. i realized when the peice doesnt come out nicely DONT PUSH it. look carefully you can see one square hand and one hand with fingers, i just laughed and said thats what pumpkins are for the design doesnt need to match. anyone looking for a great rose bush it is the knockout rose. it is oct 30 and i am getting new buds even after we have had 2 working on 3 freeze/frost warnings. the bush has doubled in size also. i had a great time tonight i put the radio to classical music and thought of all the 45 years of dad carving pumpkins and all his hallaween shananigins. which reminds me yesterday i went to mcdonalds ordered and was asked without paying attention to me i guess she asked if i wanted the senior citizen discount i laughed and said no thank you i just have a cold. she should have heard me saturday. ha ha

this picture was emailed to me by kim today, it is soooo peaceful, reminds me of my favorite song." IF IT WASNT FOR THE LIGHT HOUSE WHERE WOULD THIS SHIP BE?" IT IS MY favorite song from the private group journey bound. of course light house is referring to god guiding you. i went back to delmar nursing home yesterday for an interview and was hired but the assistant to the director of nursing who hired me is the one who has damaged me and my self esteem 5 years ago,so i am not sure i will keep it. will check into berlin again. which brings me to the artical in the want ads that not surprizingly has been there for at least 6 months. it just cracks me up and feel like i should put it in the readers digest for a prize of the funniest ad. its from a meat company. IF you CAN LAST 30 days you get a 100 dollar bonus. IF you CAN LAST 60 days and so on and so on with increasing bonuses. Now isnt that an insentive IF YOU CAN LAST. i would bet money it has a high turn over. have a safe and happy halloween tommorro,. katie

how do you spell relief . KYLES HOME MADE VEGTABLE SOUP, it was awesome. i CAUTIOUSLY ate garlic bread with no incidents. it was a perfect lunch . since i talked to patty last night and she said kyle was cooking vegtable soup thats all i wanted. garlic bread is what i broke my tooth on last weekend. i feel stronger but have a hard time convincing people if feel better cuase of my deep raspy voice. missed church this morning couldnt get out of bed. take care. katie

i just cant stop looking at this sweet face, so care free and content. i just watched flyaway home and awakinging this afternoon and checked in on trap pond. they are getting ready to have dinner vegtable soup would have tasted real good today. the weather is going down hill and has had rain and increasing wind there and here but it was so warm and sunny earlier i was tempted to walk out and go to trap pond. but i am glad i didn't. i just cant get the pictures of him the right size but you can still tell he has his fist clenched . he is saying" i am sooo content with mommy and daddy i can relax and know i am taken care of great."

contents of bucket, penut butter cups, whoppers, snickers milkyways, babe ruths, starburst mand ms 3 muskateers mint and twix. picture of me and dad halloween o5 with my long blond wig, he had the biggest thrill out of that his last halloween so that picture is one of my favorites. have a great weekend. katie

ANYONE WANT MY BUCKET OF CANDY, I AM 46 YEARS OLD AND I FEEL LIKE A KID, I AM BAND FROM TRAPPOND STATE PARK AND MY MOTHER BANNED ME FROM EVEN PICKING UP MY MAIL. IT IS SUPPOSED TO RAIN VERY HEAVY TODAY AND I HAD A FEVER YESTERDAY WITH MY VOICE SOUNDING LIKE DUANE BONNERS TODAY. I BEILEVE IT THIS CHEST COLD HAS STEMMED FROM TUESDAY AFTER I GOT MY TOOTH PULLED AT 10 PM I TOOK MY ANITIBIOTIC AND WHILE DRINKING MY WATER I DIDNT SWALLOW RIGHT CUASE MY MOUTH WASNT WORKING RIGHT YET AND I COULD HEAR THE WATER IN MY THROAT GURGGLING ABOUT FOR TIMES AFTER COUGHING. SO I WAS NOT SURPRIZED. I JUST SHOOK MY HEAD AND SAID I STILL GET TOLD WHAT TO DO AT 46 YEARS OF AGE.. HA HA. I HAVE BOUGHT AT LEAST 8 BAGS OF CANDY, BIG BAGS.

click on this you can see a mass of birds on the right corner, i think this is what i thought i was putting on yesterday.

good morning tommorro is the halloween at trap pond, maybe, supposed to rain and have severe thunderstorms, i am looking at my candy i been stocking up on i will be eating it for a year if i dont pass it out tommorro. there are only 2 kids on this street and mom might get them but it is not the like olden days or trap pond in the country. you just go to who you know well. glad michigan was like trap pond. have a good weekend.

the black birds are back, one sure way to tell fall is here to stay, enjoy. guess i clicked twice on the tree picture but it is a good one.

THIS IS WHAT JACOB WON ON HIS LOCAL SCRAMBLED SQUARES SHOW ON TV IN BOONE NORTH CAROLINA, HE WON MONEY AND GIFT CERTIFICATES ,BUT IT ONLY TOOK THESE LETTERS FOR HIM TO SAY FROSTY THE SNOWMAN. UNBELIEVABLE. I SAW IT TWICE THEN PATTY CAME OVER AND SAW IT ONE MORE TIME (ON THE INTERNET)AND SHE INSIST I SHOW MOM TODAY. HE WAS SOOOO FUNNY WITH HIS EXPRESSIONS AND GESTURES, THEY CUT TO COMMERCIAL BREAK AND THEY CAME BACK AND SAID THEY HAVE BEEN HAVING FUN DURING THE BREAK BUT "I MUST SAY I THINK JACOB HAS HAD THE MOST FUN." ( SURPRISING HUH)AT THE CHALLENGE AT THE END OF THE GAME THEY WERE STANDING NEXT TO THE HOST AND HE WAS SHORT AND HIS OPPENENT WAS SHORT, I JUST ABOUT FELL OUT OF MY CHAIR LAUGHING THE HOSTS NECK MUST HAVE BEEN KINKED LOOKING AT JAKE. CONGRATS JAKE YOU DEFINITELY SAVED MY NIGHT. PS. THIS IS THE SCORE AFTER THE GOOD GUESS, THE NEXT ROUND AND THE CHALLENGE AT THE END THE GIRL WON.

i got so excited so i ran to the store to get the pictures tonight and frame them. yes i did finish my room and closet. nice gentle rain tonight, been pretty steady. i was listening to a missionary on tape and kept hearing voices outside, when the tape was done i realized it was the football game at the highschool about 5 minutes away by car. there is no wind, i can't tell what he is saying most of the time but it is a good game cuase the announcer gets real excited. hope we win, the school has been in the championships for the last 2 years, last year we lost by just a couple points. i listened to it on the radio and it was very exciting. hope you can see these pictures good enough. the top one is a tree on PATTYS land beutiful, the one in the middle is the barn in the back ground, gotta have that barn in any picture. the bottom is a close up of a tree, cant remember what tree.

relaxing on a fall day, cats are napping leaves are changing. i am fall cleaning. yes people you did not miss read. i am CLEANING ha ha. i got out all my halloween and fall items and vacummed the closet now i just have to get it back in before i go to bed. the hotel job didnt last cuase the stock market and decreased visitors, so i was the one to go cuase it has only been a month and nothing to do with my performance. but now need to go back to nursing to keep my house afloat please pray i get my job and be able to change my mind about nursing. i am going to blow up these pictures, and change the sunsets ones out of the frames above my couch. barbs suggested , i change pictures in the same frames for each season.i am watching doctor phil, you should too if you think i am messy it is on hoarding addiction.have a great weekend

this is what i have been trying to get up then couldnt figure out why they are so small, i just clicked the small size by mistake, hope you can see wyatt clear enough. it is a gorgeous day today mid seventys, very little breeze, perfect to sit out side and reflect and count your blessings. have a great day.

i cant stop looking at this photo of wyatt, i went shopping for him and showed nora today and she said jessica Really needs what i got. so it will be in the mail monday jessica. i let smokey get on the computer table and she watched the video of riley and red dog looked right at the computer. grabbed my camara too late. i ate 3 of the apple dougnuts on the way home in traffic so i am still paying for it 5 hours later but well worth the stomach ache. mmmmmm mmmmm good.

ah fall has arrived, just noticed the trees are turning , the sun is setting and i went to applescrapple today to but i closed my eyes to crafts, definitely cant afford it. bought me a hotdog and water, yum yum, NO SCRAPPLE, fought the 3 mile back up and went to the apple farm and got there famouse apple donutes with cinnamon and sugar on top. AWESOME, THE festival is well worth the traffic, the paper said today they usually have 30,000 people there and i think i saw everyone of them. ha ha.

congrats jessica and welcome wyatt myron carr into this world. may everything continue to go smoothly, looking forward to more pictures. all well here. katie
