<<<Raining here too!! So hello all you wonderful peeps!!

where is here?

Not raining here, the sun has been out most of the day. Spent the
evening with the grandkids. Almost 7-year-old granddaughter say Elvira
for the first time and insisted she will be Elvira for Halloween, and
2-year-old grandson is going to be "Larry the Cable Boy" (off Blue
Collar TV) - yes he even has a mullet - my daughter had to cut his hair
while he was sleeping as he wasn't cooperating. My daughter's birthday
is Halloween, will be 32, insists she is still only turning 29 though.
Last year granddaughter was the corpse bride and a scared a couple of
kids - we were going to put gummy worms on her but I told her with the
seagulls around here they may come after her for the worms, so she
wouldn't let us. This town has a kids Halloween parade each year for
the kids and prizes, and a party at Fort Worden, where an Officer and a
Gentleman was filmed.

Weather is absolutely beautiful here, everyone come down for a visit!!
Cool, sunny days and cool, clear nights. Stars are out and all is calm.
My patio door opens onto the swimming pool and fountain, so I have the
tranquil splashing of water to soothe the savage soul. Very dry compared
to the rest of you!! It's a beautiful night. Very happy to be here.
(here, and on here!) Bless you all.

Well that was refreshing, tyvm. My sister lives in texas. Shes told me
its nice but that Id probably die without the freezing cold and snow I
have here lol.

And...to the topic of Halloween, I work at the water utility, and we
give toilet rebates for changing out high water use toilets, so we
decorated the office as the "haunted out house" , made an outhouse out
of the front door with toilet paper and old boots on the floor, and are
all dressing as Hillbillies, complete with a hillbilly waterless urinal
(potted plant). Hope we win the $20. prize, it's cost us about $60.lol

well, if ya gotta have the cold, this is not the place for you! I moved
to Denver once, in January, froze my whatsis off, lasted 2 weeks and
went to the California beach. I'm just a beach person, love the water.
Guess I've been in texas too long to acclimate to cold weather. And I
don't have any sweaters either. :)

LOL, Oh i dont "need" the cold, but she wont even come and visit. Shes
been there for 15 yrs n ow and i thinks shes come back up here maybe 4
times. Im going down there next year once she moves from houston to
austin.

Yup, she must get out of Houston. Crime rate is out of control there!!!
So much to do in Austin too! You'll have to go visit, a very laid back
cool city. I'll be in Houston over thanksgiving, thankfully, only 1 1/2
hours going and 3 hours coming home!! i'll try not to get shot!

yeah she doesnt go out much lol, she used to live in Austin,now she
regrets moving.

well Houston is nice, close to the gulf beaches, but geesh, you can't
hardly walk down the street without losing something. Watch, wallet,
purse....Austin now, kind of stuck in the 70's, with willie nelson, and
cool concerts in the park, politics, I love to visit there...maybe
that's why, places you visit are always so great, until you move there
and have to make a living, no more disposable "tourist" dollars. Well,
I am stuck here for 2 years, then the plan is to move on west. Need
some rain dam it!!

yeah my sister is a aspiring singer and song writer and used to sing at
some places in the austin area.

we have plenty in NY lol,lol
wish I was in tx.

Plenty of room, lol.
I work with a guy in a band, they have gigs in Austin and all around
Texas. Lots of opportunity here. But nothing like the LA area, the
talent there is everywhere! Does she know about the recording studio in
Fabens, Texas? You should ask.

Morena, where in Ny are you? I have only been there 4 times, my oldest
son went to West Point and so that is the only area I ever visited, lol,
besides the empire state building and the statue of liberty! Cold!!! I
took enough clothes once for 7 day visit, and by the 2nd day, I was
wearing all of it, pants over pants over pants and 5 shirts under 3
coats!! I was the michelin mom!!

My grandaughter resides in Texas, Im planning to go
for a weekend just to see her, but I hear you talking
about all of those wonderfull places, that maybe I will just
go and check it out.

are there nice places to eat, drink, have a good time, or resorts, that
you can recomend?

Where in Texas is she? It's a humongous state! We drove across it
once, Left El Paso at 7 a.m. and hit Texarkana at midnight.

Im in long Island NY is outside the city and is nice here
but still NY, you know?

my grandaughter is in Houston Tx

ohoh, never mind what I was ditzing on houston earlier. I have 2 good
good friends in Houston, going to have breakfast with one of them on my
layover at thanksgiving. Going to Florida!! Can hardly wait. And
then....oh darn!!...my daughter in Hawaii just had a baby boy. Guess
I'll just have to go to Hawaii next. Life is so cruel!!!!

I think that is nice
to have different places to go to
some people don't have anybody, or a place to
go and visit, not even friends
so we are very lucky.
Don't you think?
