Happy Halloween!

Hello everyone and Happy Sunday! Today is the last day of October and Halloween. Tomorrow, Christmas ads will be full on...we already saw quite a few on TV last week. Crazy how smoothly we go from one season or holiday to another. 

It's a dark and rainy day for us....the perfect day to have a nap with our doggies. That is exactly what Russell, Cooper and Spicy are doing now. Coop has been under the weather since yesterday and he's kept us up most of the night. Between trips outside in pouring rain and bum washing, Russell and I didn't get much shut-eye. Spicy slept through most of it, lucky her. Cooper seems better today so hoping for a better sleep tonight.  We always feel so bad when our pooches are not feeling well. 

We're not sure how many kids we will have tonight given the weather but we will be ready. Our candy bowls will be protected from the rain under our front porch. I will find a way to donate whatever we have left. I have indulged in a couple mini chocolate bars but I'm done now. I kept a small stash of Kit-Kat and Coffee Crisp for Russell, his favorites 😋

This past week was good. We got more raking done, mostly in the front yard. Our maple tree is almost bare now. I was able to get a photo of it against the blue sky on Friday, so pretty.

On Wednesday, we celebrated our sweet girl's 11th birthday. Spicy seemed pleased with her cake and new hair bows. Cooper chose to wear a pink polka dot tie for the event...it was a pink kind of day 💝Russell took great photos and I'm sharing a few in this blog.

Russell had an eye exam and all is good. His vision is still legally 20/20, 25 years after his laser eye surgery. Despite the good vision, Russell will be getting prescription glasses to be worn at his discretion, when reading, using the computer and driving, depending on the light. His eye muscles are getting a bit lazy, for lack of a better word, and it makes for a tired vision sometimes. The glasses will help. 

Those are our little news. I wish you all a great week and a fun night tonight!

Spicy and Cooper want to wish every ghoul
and goblin a Happy Halloween!

Happy 11th Birthday Spicy, time has flown
so quickly since you graced our lives with your
special presence.

Spicy was very pleased with her cake and bows,
here she smiles in appreciation.

Cooper wore his special pink polka dot tie to the
celebration to match Spicy's pink bow, too cute!

As only these two can do, cake sharing at 
its very best!
