Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween!  Though this year has proven a bit less exciting than many years, I love this holiday.  This is the only holiday where food does not matter.  Where there are no expectations except to have FUN!  For so many years we celebrated the holiday on the Saturday before Halloween and had a BLAST!  Our goal - scare the kids!

                                                        Me and Scott 2001

                                                                            Karen 2002

                                                                2001 (I remember about half of the kids!)

                                  2003 (I think we were insane - I don't recall this many children!)

                                            Trevor (neighbor) and Scott in a dog crate hiding.  2007

This morning TJ worked overtime which meant we could help by watching Charlotte while Megan took care of the horses , chickens, dogs and cat.  My pleasure!


                                                The poor thing has hiccups frequently.  

Our "Weekend at Bobs" officially ended when taking Marc and Molly to the airport.  Time flies when having fun.  And that we did!  Definitely looking forward to a repeat next year!

A stop at Lowe's on the way back to pick up a few items for this week's coming projects.  A nap at the house (late nights and early mornings are adding up), the onto Bandidos for dinner.
                                                    Modelo and house margarita

                                                            Paul's taconon salad

                                                                          My shrimp tacos

                                            Very cozy and dressed for the holiday.

Word of the day - quiescent.  Meaning slow to move or act, tranquility at rest.

Newlyweds

 I am so, so happy for these guys!   Love you all!  The photos capture the happiness and love perfectly!  And that kid - how adorable and enchanting and priceless!  A simple ceremony in Maine including snow - doesn't get much better than that! Meanwhile Paul and I are still at the marina dock.  Last night I mentioned breaking the washing machine.  Then I thought I broke the toilet (or forgot how to use a marine toilet).  Turns out the water pump died causing the washer to become confused and the toilet not to fill properly.  Ugh.  We have a foot pump for water at the kitchen sink so we made do last night and then went to bed. This morning Paul switched out the pump for the spare we had on board.  Another spare has been ordered and we will grab from Marc's when we get to Palm Beach. (Thank you Marc for being our Amazon drop!) I managed a couple batches laundry and tried to dry some outside but despite being super windy, everythi...

Welcome Home Charlotte

 Welcome home Charlotte!                                               Charlotte dressed for the season! My plan today - spend a couple hours finishing laundry, horse care and dishes at Megan and TJ's.  First task - check in with Mark, the farrier.  Though neither horse has shoes, their hooves still grow and require trimming every 7-8 weeks.  Both horses are easy and Mark was done quick.  Thank you Rebecca for completing morning care and field mucking.   I moved to the house where I found the dishes done  (Thank you again Rebecca!).  Okay, I'll make a quick batch of pineapple salsa and toss in a quick load of laundry.  That's when my day turned in to something I never would have imagined.  There was no water!  I ran out to the barn to check the water hadn't been running continuously and the...
