Pumpkins, crafts and fun with friends....

I stayed in Caseville for 2 weeks and I'm back now.....for awhile anyway. I decorated my place and carved a pumpkin for halloween. I didn't dress up the doggies this year. But I just had to get a picture of Mini Sue and Keno sitting by the jack-o-lantern.



Saturday night was the halloween parties night, so I met up with my friend at the Eagles early in the evening. I just wore a halloween shirt and my pumpkin sweater and I even had a light-up pumpkin purse.




Then about 9:00 we headed to the Port Elizabeth Grill where they were having a DJ with karaoke, and sexy Lou and his cronies also came up cause they all like to sing. Me and my friend don't sing.....we just like to dance and sometimes do back-up vocals!.....everybody was dressed up in costumes, even the DJ was dressed up as Alice Cooper and he looked just like him. Unfortunately, I didn't get a picture...

Oh well....next year

A friend of mine from here in the city drove up. We met for lunch in a town near Caseville and she followed me back to Caseville to see my cottage. We went up to the Eagles in the evening and talk about 'Beginner's Luck'......

.....the eagles have these pull-tabs that I love to play. You can buy either 50 cent ones or $1.00, $2.00 or $5.00 ones. I usually always play the 50 centers or sometimes I play a $1.00 one once in awhile. She never played them and I had to explain to her how they work. So she decided to play two $2.00 ones for 4 bucks. And she wins $150!!!!!!!.....like I said, 'Beginner's Luck'....it was unbelievable, I was shocked! I was so happy for her!!

So the next day we went into town for the Holly Berry Fair craft shows. She couldn't stay long cause she had to get back on the road for home, but we went to the one at the Roller Rink, hit a few stores in town and then she had to leave for home. I went up to the school for the other big craft show but didn't buy much. Later that evening, I went up to the Eagles for awhile.

I also got my leaves raked and mulched and pulled the flowers out of my flower beds. I felt bad pulling them out cause alot of my flowers were still blooming and my garden still looked nice. But they're going to die anyway and I needed to get back home so out they went.



I left my mums along the side of my place until next time cause they are blooming really nice for Fall and look so pretty....





So now I'm back home. Mini Sue has a vet appointment tomorrow for her 6-month check-up. She'll be 11 years old on Sunday and I want to be sure she is healthy. I'll have blood work done and all her lymph node glands checked. It'll be 2 years since I lost Lucky to canine lymphoma on Nov 13, Saturday....and I'm keeping close watch on Mini's health now that she is getting older. Better safe than sorry.....nip it in the bud as Deputy Fife would say. If there is even the tiniest hint of a problem, I want to know before it gets to the terminal stage. I want Mini Sue to live to be 100...well, in dog years anyway!
