HALLOWEEN

Today is Halloween. A day for young and old to be what they want to be. My granddaughters are going to be princesses decked out in beautiful dresses. The are going to have a parade, in costume, around their school and the parents are invited to be there to watch as the children parade around the outside of the school. Then the children go into the school for their parties. Parents not invited. After school the girls will go trick or treating in the neighborhood. I hope two things happen. one being that the teacher doesn't assign homework and second that the weather is nice. The kids have waited a long time for this. HAVE A GOOD TIME KIDS.

MR. COOL FALLS FOR MCDONALD CUSTOMERS

Today my granddaughters didn't have school. It was fall break thursday and friday. See that I had to fill their day with activities I called my son and asked if he wanted to go to lunch with us at McDonalds in Highland which has a outdoor playground. He accepted and I picked him up from work and off to Mc's we went. After ordering our meals we chose a table and ate. After the girls finished they went outside to the playground and my son and I stayed inside. We were talking when I noticed a young man come strutting in. He had a red head dress on, I don't know what you call it but I call it a rag. Pants with pockets hanging down to the floor along with the crotch of his pants. He had on a white shirt with red trim and attached to a loop on his pants was a chain which was attached to a wallet. He strutted his stuff so that everyone noticed him. He placed his order and waited for it to be put together. In the meantime an employee came to the spot the young man just passed and mopped the floor and placed a bright yellow plastic horse with the words "caution wet floor". At this point Mr. Cool got his order, turned to exit by means of the same route he entered and not looking down, up or sideways walked right into this yellow horse, fell and rebounded like a professional who did this all of the time and was out the door. Those who noticed, which were quite a few started to snicker and when everyone looked at each other burst into full laughter. Can't wait to go back and see if Mr. Cool comes back and what his encore will be.

GARAGE SALES

With the camper being closed up I can now take advantage of the last of the garage sales. Yes I said last because the weather will be getting colder and the garage sales will stop until next spring. I am going to 6 of them today. I got maps from Mapquest and go to them in hopes of finding treasures that I can sell on E-Bay. Not only will I look for E-Bay items, but it is also nice to talk to people. You meet a lot of nice people at these garage sales. So off I go in hopes of finding my treasures of the day.

Have a nice day.

CLOSING THE CAMPER

This past weekend was kind of a sad weekend because I closed my camper in Plymouth, Indiana. I made arrangements for someone to winterize it and brought home food stuffs that I could use here or might spoil had I left them there.

I must say it was a beautiful, beautiful weekend. High in the 80's, nice and quiet because I was alone. We had a nice fire Saturday night although being so warm we all sat aways back from it. We joked and laughed about things that happened over the summer. Sunday I took a golf cart ride with my dog, Mandy, said goodbye and have a nice winter to some folks I know, packed up the van about noon and left for home.

See you next spring friends and camper.

TWO YEARS TODAY

We all remember things. Birthdays, wedding anniversary's, and every occasion that reminds us of someone or something. Today is no different because it is the second, would you call it anniversary, that my Lady Andie was stricken with a stroke that took her from me and her family. It is a day that I relive in my mind everyday up to the time she was called to Heaven on February 13, 2006. The memories are sad ones except for the times I think she recognized me, said my name or hugged me. Those days are forever burned into my memory and those days I will never forget. The times that we spent alone holding hands are very special to me, for only I know what thoughts I had and the look in her eyes expressed her thoughts which, I hope were "I love you".

October 9th we would have been married 42 years.

LAP BAND

Do you want to lose weight? I mean really lose weight. Not with pills or starvation diets, I mean by a system where comfort comes first. I found such a procedure called Lap Band. Richard Collier is the foremost Lap Ban Surgeon in the cities of Woodlands Lap band, Houston,Conroe and Kingwood Texas. They want you to understand that your comfort is of great importance to them. That's why everything in Dr. Colliers center is designed with your needs in mind.

Dr. Collier specializes in the LapBand System and what it is, is a adjustable gastric banding procedure that limits the amount of food going into your stomach, thus helping you lose the weight that you want to get rid of. All procedures are performed on a outpatient basis which means no hospital stay. You will be closely monitored so the band will be adjusted to your specific needs.

If you really want to lose, you should call them at the Woodlands Lap band to find a location near you.
