Halloween Crazies

Teapot left an hour ago while it was still quite dark. He is off for a day of hunting in the back country. This will be his last opportunity to hunt moose since the moose season closes on Monday. I worry about him when he goes hunting alone but he does have the SAT phone and so does call in on a regular basis to let me know he is alright. Still, where he is going there are a number of Grizzlies around and grizzlies are very smart. You can call them in with a gunshot because they know there will be a fresh kill with a gun shot. I am hoping he will be fine. He is very careful so that is a bonus.

I finished my clock yesterday and and am quite pleased with the results.

I am not dyslexic... the number are painted on right it just this computer camera that I'm using.

 Teapot has taken the camera with him so I must rely on the camera that is a part of this computer. It is not nearly as good and must be fiddled with (cropped and stuff) to make it look good, so I apologize for the pictures that are somewhat pathetic. Meanwhile the work in Teapot's and my bedroom continues. It is looking better all the time. There is still quite a bit of work to be done but I'm doing it a little every day. I do not want to hurt my back so I really am careful at how much reaching, lifting, shoving, and the like that I allow myself to do. In between, I headed off to the grocery store yesterday. This doesn't seem all that exciting and not really worth mentioning here except that with Halloween coming up Daughter #1, (who was with me), and I had some good laughs. There were witches costumes and odd hats, there were masks of all sorts and best of all were the jelly candy. So we had to make a couple of purchases... When we got home we had some really good laughs. The jelly candy were body parts.... and a hat was perfect....

I give you fair warning..... Daughter #1 was too shy to try this in the public.... but not me!!!!

First we'd thought we'd try some teeth and a red eye...

Then a new nose.. but I couldn't get the eye to stick...

Then Daughter #1 thought the blue eye would be interesting.....

Then all hell broke loose when I tried to get two eyes with the teeth my eyes kept popping out and we just started to laugh......

Daughter #2 thought we were too undignified for words and just kept reading her book especially when I tried to take a picture of the jelly finger up my n... well, I'm sure you catch my drift.... that's her in the background. But suffice it to say that the hilarity may continue for a while..... mostly because I absolutely refuse dignity at my age. It's always fun till someone loses an eye!

So Halloween  is tomorrow and Daughter #2 is going out as a spider queen trick or treating until it is time to head off for the fire works. Daughter #1 and I are going to stay home and watch Dracula. That should scare the poop out of us!


But for today the Daughters and I are going to have a quiet day at home. I will probably carry on with the bedroom renovation as I have a mirror and a shelf to hang... I also have a few boards to cut and nail in place. Meanwhile we will wait patiently for Teapot to come home and hopefully bring some meat.

Happy Halloween!!!
