Day 303 Samhain 2010

Very quiet Halloween. Definitely not like Halloweens in the past. We watched movies most of the day.

Only 3 trick or treaters. I thought we would get more because the weather had cleared some what. But I guess being a Sunday night had something to do with it.

Day 302

Very quiet Saturday. I did accomplish going to the library and dropped off Chris' election ballot and picked up the books I had on hold.

This damp coldness outside just keeps me from doing much.

Day 301

Had a bad cough that came on all of sudden again last night. It's been damp and cold all day, so, decided to stay in and kick this thing.

Things accomplished:

Dr appointments made for both of us.

Not much else to say about today.

Day 300

The rain held off until the afternoon, which was a good thing since I drove up to Deaconess to fill out the form to request my medical records. They should be ready to pick up by next Friday. On my way home I stopped and picked up precriptions. By the time these errands were run, I was done for the day.

Samhain (Halloween) Altar

Day 299

Yay No Snow! The snow went south of Spokane. But it is still cold with no let up in sight.

Things accomplished today:

Library card renewed.

Spokane Cardiology called regarding paperwork.

Deaconess called regarding picking up records.

Called Humanix.

Lots of Halloween themed shows on tv tonight. I love those. Plus LA Ink. This episode will answer why she is no longer with the Motley Crue guy.

I may watch Practical Magic tomorrow. It is my favorite Halloween movie.

Day 298

Things accomplished today:

Voted - Ballots completed for Michael and myself

Mailed paperwork back

A definite touch of winter today. It was downright cold!! First chance of snow for us is predicted for tomorrow. I hope they are wrong.

Day 297

Busy day where I got quite a bit accomplished.

Blood Draw at PAML - check

Mailed bill payments and Netflix movies back - check

Rite Aid for the few essentials that were needed - check

Banner Fuel called and Guardian Plan appointment made and fuel ordered - check

Then we stopped and had lunch at Rancho Chico. So nice visiting with Jose. Food was better than usual. It's such a small town sometimes. Michael's old boss came in with a date. Nice chance meeting.

Rainy, windy and cold is the weather for today. It snowed up on Mt Spokane overnight. Seems like an early winter will be happening this year.

Day 296

Konagod has written a meme and I have chosen to play along. He frequently thinks back on famous people I have seen randomly in public and has decided to make a list for himself so he won't forget.

If you want to play along, be my guest, but here are the rules. It has to be random and unexpected. You can't list Madonna if you paid money to see her in concert! However, if she invited you up on stage, then yeah, you can list her.

James Caan - Salinas Rodeo 1972. He was checking my horse's hoof. I was thrilled.

Will Geer - At a senate fundraiser event. What an amazing man he was, activist, actor, poet. I couldn't help proving to him I knew all the words from the movie Jeramiah Johnson. I think he was surprised I recognized him as Bear Claw instead of Grampa Walton.

Roy Rogers - CMA Awards Show at Opryland in Nashville, TN . It was fabulous meeting and talking with my long time hero.

James Lee Burke - Auntie's Bookstore, Spokane WA. It was awesome to meet my favorite author of all time. Listened to his first book, we had rented the audio book from a truckstop in South Louisiana, Black Cherry Blues. I've been hooked ever since.

Day 295

I had such a bad night last night. We woke to rain just like they predicted. Maybe this spell if from the weather. I cancelled the pup's grooming appointment. Good day to snuggle in, put my feet up and relax.

Day 294

The soup is smelling so good. Now onto making cornbread to go with it.

Went to the appointment with the attorney. I liked him and the nurse. My next step is to secure my medical records and get the pictures to him.

Getting cloudy this afternoon. We may get that rain they have been forecasting afterall.

We watched that Tommy Lee Jones' movie Missing. It was good. Not the best Tommy Lee Jones movie as was told by the person who lent us the movie, but, definitely a good one. This weekend we have more Deadwood to watch and a movie titled Leap Year.

I watched the episode of Parenthood I DVR'd the other night. It was a Halloween themed show. Loved it! The show is so well written and the characters are so rich. Definitiely a hit. Well, David did not get sent home on the Apprentice. Maybe next week. I think they keep him on for the tv drama he creates. A guy we all love to hate.

Day 293

I actually went to the store today and survived! I'm going to make a soup using beef short ribs. I think the bones in the ribs will give the soup more flavor. Plus I'm going to add some pasta and some beans. Sort of like a minestrone. It will be perfect tomorrow when it's cold and ready to start raining.

The trees all over town are turning color. Oh my gumbo, they are so beautiful!! I should have taken some pictures. Maybe tomorrow before it rains. Alot of the houses are putting up their Halloween decorations. I want to take some pictures of those too. Can you tell I love fall? This weekend I am going to hang the pumpkin lights in the front window. I am still looking for the translucent witch poster for the front window too. Couldn't find one last year. Maybe I can make one.

Day 292

Day 291

Day 290

I think I have more Halloween/Samhain pictures saved than I have days left in October. Seems as we get older days fly by faster.

I've been thinking of simplier times.
