Happy Hallowe'en

Happy Hallowe'en!

Did you have a lot of children come trick or treating at your house? Maybe you had children or grandchildren to get into costumes and take out. Did you get lots of candy? Our area doesn't have very many children so this is the first year our building is not handing out candies.

On Thursday when I had Geoff and family and Ronian the new granddoggy over we had Hallowe'en dinner. I set the table for dinner in Hallowe'en style...

This is a big ole spider my youngest son Richard made a few years ago....it found its way to the table.

The tablecloth was black and we had Hallowe'en napkins... We each had a little loot bag of goodies and a puzzle.... A gummy worm sat in front of each of the plates...there was a pumpkin gobblin in the centre of the table but it didn't make it into the picture.


shhhhhhh...have a peek at what was under the napkin on the salad bowls of the 2 little ones...

Austin is looking rather surprised to find a trantulla spider....


Madeline, being the older one..*s*...picked hers up...


and proceeded to explain to Geoff, her daddy that its not real, you know.....

I didn't seem to take anymore pictures.. I think we were hungry instead. It was a spaghetti night with apple crisp for dessert. I'm sure both Madeline and Austin are having a good trick or treating time right now as I type this..... fun...

We were at the cottage again for the weekend. There won't be many more weekends there this fall before Marc closes it for the winter. The wind was just howling last night but we were nice and warm with the fireplace on...almost all the colourful leaves have blown to the ground.

On Friday night Marc and I watched Hallowe'en II in honour of......
What did you do during the Hallowe'en weekend?...
Have a great start to the week... Judi xoxo

Perfect Fall Day, Apples, Dinner and "Friends"

A couple of weeks ago we set off to Brown's Berry Patch looking for apples. It was the perfect fall day for a nice pork roast...and fresh apple sauce.

We passed the apple orchard by the cottage where these crates of apples were picked from.
lots of apples....


At Brown's we have a good selection of freshly picked apples...a
all makes and varieties....

There were interesting people hanging around....

and so we posed for pictures with them....wonder why she is looking so bashful?

This lady is really paying attention to Marc....

he's showing a little pumpkin....

This lady was waiting to greet everyone...
And...at the end of the day the roast was ready with stuffing...(stuffings under)
apple sauce was still warm and delicious...

and everything tasted like the perfect fall day....

mmmmmm Fall is really a yummy time... Judi xoxo
