I needed this.

This weekend Needles and I had plans to head South to the promise land. Since I had to work late Friday and Needles was working on her 50 page paper and we have been run ragged over the last few weeks, we decided to postpone our trip and relax this weekend. This morning my friend "D" and I decided to go to our favorite photography place and snap a few hundred pics. It had been a long tme since I had been able to go and I was ready to have fun and relax. Here is a few of the pics that made the cut for displaying. Hope you enjoy them.

Back from the weekend.

We went to Owensboro for the weekend. We arrived at our destination around 5:30pm Friday evening. When we arrived our hosts had beef and vegetables from the crock pot. Mmmmm. Then we had to make a late run to Coldstone Creamery. We got back to Cynical and Ragged's place and before long we were yawning and looking for a place to curl up for the night. The next morning we were treated by Cynical's parents to B'fast at Sho e (Shoney's) but the lights were out in the n,y and s. It was good but probably not good for us. After that the ladies parted from us and headed to their planned outing which I am sure Needles will post about. Cynical and I made a run to Sam's then Walmart. When we got back I did a little Xmas shopping online for Needles and then we just relaxed on the couch until the ladies came back to pick us up for another run to Walmart and then Target. After we returned our hists ordered Domino's pizza and we had brownies warm from the oven for dessert. We stayed up late watching the movie UP and then it was time to go to bed. This morning we got up to cinnamon rolls fresh fruit and "organic" yogurt and juice. For lunch we stopped by Panera Bread and when we got back it was time for us to head back home. We had lots of fun and even more to eat. Its always fun to visit with Ragged and Cynical and we thank them for their hospitality. Hope everyone had a great weekend.

More Pumpkins Exploding!

Halloween 2009 video.

This is a short video of the front yard on Halloween night. We started putting this out about 10am and by 3pm we were finished. Trick or Treating was disappointing this year in our area with a final tally of 53. Trick or treating started this year at 5pm which was still daylight and lasted until 7 pm. We usually have it 6pm to 8pm. For our first hour we had a total of 2 trick or traters with the rest of them coming in the last hour. Our final vistor was a little after 7pm. We started packing up and by 9pm it was all back in the garage. I sat on the couch a dozed off a time or two before finally calling it a night and going to bed a little before 10pm. Today we went out to "G" house and picked up the rest of the airblown and blow mold items. They are also tucked away in the garage for another year. Next up deer season...I can't wait.
