Good 48º cloudy, possibility of rain not today, morning.
Yesterday the rain started in just after 9am and POURED! And it was
WINDY!!! Leaves everywhere! We ended up with 1/2". Stopped in the afternoon and
every got to trick or treat!
Where in the HEQQ did October go? Sheeesh......
On Tuesday my pals Patty and Cliff came back from the coast. Liquor in
Oregon is very expen$ive compared to Ca. We have state run liquor stores and
they don't get a lot of stuff the Ca stores get. So, when P&C come back from
Gold Beach they pass through part of N. Cal and stop at the All Star Liquor
Store. Such fun to shop there, like the one in Redding, Liquor Barn. They have
such variety you could spend half a day in there just looking. Anyway, the
bought me a bottle of pumpkin pie vodka. WOW, good! It was an early Christmas
present. I had asked them to see if the store had Nutliquor (peanut flavored
liquor) and Watermelon/Cucumber vodka ... yes on both! Such fun to experiment.
Makes for interesting martinis!
Bruiser was gone all day Tuesday from in the morning early until yesterday
morning. He finally showed up and was soaking wet. Hungry too..
Later I saw him out on the trampoline... but he moved as soon as he heard
the door open. A good vantage point for Mr. Hunter!
I went into town yesterday to drop the mummy cupcakes off at Brian's office
for the kids ... and a couple for Emily too. I was 'dressed' in my Halloween
garb... black cat shirt, Halloween sweater, and ghost earrings (eyes blinked
red)....
Brian gave me a pair of State Farm sunglasses, but he posed
in them for me....
Then I saw Bill and Jeannie's car at the Elks so I stopped... Chaka
posed... and of course I gave her a dog cookie!
Then it was off to the market and I got a pumpkin so I can stuff and bake
it. Also got some Kraft Sandwich Shop Chipotle Mayonnaise and some Twist of Lime
Mayonnaise! Mmm.... The didn't have the Garlic Herb, next time. These are
REALLY GOOD!!!
I stopped at the Post Office to pick up a couple of packages and then at
Ace to see what was going on. All the kids in town were trick or treating at the
businesses from about 3pm.... At Ace Uncle Jimmy was the go to guy for candy...
I was sneaking up on him from the back and he threw a bunch of candy at me! LOL.
I had "snacks" on the way home!
And Paul was creeping him out with kisses!
I had put ingredients for soup in the crockpot before I left and it was
ready when I was for dinner.....
I didn't like the 'veggie penne' with sauce, but in the soup it cooked a
few hours and was really good! A large can of cream of chicken soup, a can and a
half of water and 1/2 a can of wine, broccoli florets and broccoli slaw, red
bell pepper, olives, canned chicken, sliced garlic, red onion, and mushrooms.
AWESOME!
So after dinner I was sitting in my chair, it was dark out but movement
outside caught my eye. At first I thought it was deer in the yard eating the
acorns. As it turned out there were over 20 elk eating the acorns! Too dark for
a photo. Dang. Then later I went out to get logs for the fire and they all
panicked! The whole group of them went in a line over the fence towards the
creek and up the hill behind the barn! What a noise too!!! They are something
else.
Rick and Lynda Castro (ret LASD) are celebrating their 20th anniversary!
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY KIDS!!!

The Pinnacle vodkas are awesome. The cucumber/watermelon is one of my favorites.
Really, Dom? It's sooooo good and refreshing. The pumpkin vodka is great too. Fun to try something different! Thanks.
