Cold today

This morning it was 32*.Cold !!!!

Not much going on today.I've been eating the Halloween candy that we bought to give out.We don't really know that many people here with younger children so we won't need alot.

Here's a picture of me last Halloween.I'm not sure if i'll wear the same costume again this year.Too cold.

:)

Have a safe and Happy Halloween everyone.

Watching Scary Movies

I love October.Lots of scary movies on t.v. Today I watched all of the Scream movies again,not really scary the 2nd time around.I watched the Funny
Scary Movie,the one that makes fun of scary movies.They were still funny the 2nd time around.
I watched the Friday the 13th movies.I had forgotten that they made that many of them.
Here's a few more that I have watched lately.
Grindhouse Death Proof
Grindhouse Planet Terror I liked both of these,different that's for sure,lots of gore in both.
Room 1408...Liked this one.
The Reaping...A pretty good story.
The Ferryman
I think i"ll go read a scary book.The book is allways better than the movie.
Bye for now.

I love the cooler weather.

Today is Monday October 29th and the weather is really changing.It was cold this morning.I think it was 43* when I got up.It's supposed to get at or below freezing tonite.The boys are going to freeze their booties off on the mountain tonite.Hope they have enough warm clothes.They only have a couple of weeks to go before they close up for the season.Hopefully the weather won't get to bad.
I called my oldest son yesterday.He lives in Vermont.He told me that it has been cold there for a little while.He had a nice wood fire going already.I kinda miss having wood heat,not the getting the wood or carrying the wood in when it's freezing outside,but the nice toasty heat that you get from a fireplace or wood heater.
We have a heat pump now so the Winter cold isn't a problem inside any more.You know when the fire dies down over night and your all toasty under the covers.You stick your head out to see how cold it is and your nose freezes.We maybe it wasn't wasn't that bad,but there were a few times when I lay under the covers and tried to convince myself that I really didn't have to pee.
I really do like the cooler weather of Fall.The leaves are awsome,get out and enjoy them.
Peace and Love to All.

Fall Leaf Color In N.C. mountain

The weather is still warm,it's the perfect time of the year,to fish,hike,bike,camp or just ride around checking out the color.Have fun this Fall !!!

New t.v. show

I really like the new show Pushing Daisies on ABC.The show comes on at 8 pm.It is such a fun kooky show.I sure hope it sticks around.I'm almost afraid to get interested in a new show because you never know when it might get canceled.
I really like the story line in Pushing Daisies.There is nothing else like it on t.v.It's very funny.The writers on the show sure have a quirky sense of humor.
I recommend this show highly.
Have a great day and don't forget to smell the daisies along the way !!!!!

More cool pictures.

Here are a few more pictures for today.Hope you enjoy them.

Visit N.C. Mountains.

Get in the boat and let's go fishing !!!

The leaves are getting very pretty.I was afraid that because of the drought they wouldn't be.They might have looked better last year,but they look pretty awsome to me.

I love the mountains this time of the year.If you plan a visit to Asheville N.C. try to visit the Biltmore House.I used to work there and it is beautiful.The views from there are some of the best.

Also ride around on the Blueridge Parkway,make sure to bring your camera.

I have alot of pictures that I am going to add to my blog.

Hope you can come back and check them out.

Have a great day !!!!!!

A Not So Great Day.

It has been raining here all day,we really need the rain,so that's a good thing.
The reason that today is a bad day is because my 18 yr.old son called me from where he works and told me that his suite mate was dead.My son lives in housing where he works.The man that died was 48 years old,my husbands age.He had been drinking alot last night and my son and another person helped him to bed.The man told them thank you and that he was sorry for the trouble that they were going to.They told him not to worry about it.
The next morning when he didn't come into work they checked on him and found him dead in bed.He was diabetic but i'm not sure if that was the problem.
My son and some of the people that work there are feeling guilty,that maybe they should have noticed something that was different this time.
This is so sad he was only 48.My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.
Everyone needs to do everything that you can to stay healthy.Don't drink excessively,eat healthy follow you doctors advice.
Tell people that you love them,you never know if it will be the last time you see them or not.
Love to all !!!!

House fire.

My thoughts and prayers are with the people in California who have lost their homes due to the fire.

We had a house fire in 1980 and lost all of our stuff(stuff can be replaced)we were not hurt.

It's crazy but the things that I missed the most are not things that a robber would take if you were robbed.

It was pictures,things that my kids had make me,their baby books,their 1st lock of their hair,things that we got on vacations,things that I had saved that my husband had made me.

It's crazy but I will still think of something and wonder where it is and them remmeber that we lost it in the fire.

Stuff doesn't mean as much to me as it once did.You can get more,but people can't be replaced

I am very thankful that we are o.k.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Cloudy Day.

Today has been a dreary day.It looked like it was going to rain,but we didn't even get a sprinkle.We need lots of rain to catch up.The weatherman said that we are about a foot below what we should have for this time of year.I worry about the dry weather in the Fall because of all of the dry leaves.California has a huge fire going on right now.I'm praying for everyone.They really need the rain.

I'll also do my rain dance again for them.

Love to all.

North Carolina Mountains

I have lived in the mountains most of my life.I was born in Tenn. but grew up in N.C.I love the beauty of the mountains.The people are nice and there is so much to do.Hiking,white water rafting,camping,crafts,food,friendships,it's all good.

A few of my favorite things to do are...this time of year you have to take a ride on the Blueridge Parkway and check out the leaf color.Stop by the Pisgah Inn for a awsome meal and a beautiful view.Rent a room and stay awhile.

Go to the Arboretum and check out the fall flowers.Visit the Biltmore House.I used to work there it is a awsome place to visit.

Go to the farmers market,try some of the mountain goodies.

Take a walk in downtown Asheville.

Come visit the mountains of North Carolina,you'll be glad you did.

The Rain Dance Worked.

It's raining and boy do we need it.You should have seen my crazy rain dance.It was kinda Pee-Wee,Fergie and Herman Munster dancing rolled into one.Hey but it worked.God was probably going,o.k. i'll send rain if you will PLEASE STOP DANCING !!!!!
Thank you for the rain.

Rain

We got some rain,not very much,but every little bit helps.It has been so dry this year.There is a mandatory water restriction in affect.There is alittle creek by my house that is totally dry.I have never seen a creek completey stop.It is kind of scary.
One trick that I use to save water is to put a bucket in the shower to catch the water that runs when I am getting the tempature of the water the way that I like it.I use that water to water my flowers.
I am really worried about the dry plants and leaves this year.We really need some rain.Rain dance,anyone???

Not so scary movie.

I watched the movie called The Reaping.It was about this town where the plagues from the bible seem to be happening.It was a pretty good story,but not very scary,I didn't jump once.I'd have to rate it a C+.
I think i'll go and read a scary book now.
Peace,Love and Happiness to All.

Scary Movie and Popcorn Time.

I love scary movies.So October is a great month for me(also oldest son was born in Oct. yeah !!!).My husband doesn't really like scary movies,they give him nightmares,but the boys when they are home will watch them with me.I like the ones that are suspenseful,the ones that make you jump.I don't mind a little bit of gore,if the story is good.
I think Ghost Story was the first scary movie that I saw in a walk-in movie.That movie was really scary at the time.I watched it again a few weeks ago,I still liked it but the scariness was gone for me.
In 1978 we would go to the drive-in movies on Saturday night and they would have all night horror movies.We would watch untill the sun came up.Loved those times.
I wish everyone could experince a drive-in movie.Pretty cool.
I think i'll go and watch my movie now.It's called the Reaping.
I'm going to make me some homemade cheese popcorn.Here's how you make it.
Pop your popcorn,microwave,stove top or hot air,whatever you like.
Put alittle bit of butter on it.
Open up a pack of Kraft mac-n-cheese(the dry powder kind) open and sprinkle the dry cheese over your popcorn,stir,eat,Awesome!!!!
I save the macroni noodles for pasta salads or whatever.No waste.
This is better than any cheese popcorn I have ever bought.Try it you'll love it.

Another Saturday at home.by myself.

The weather outside is really nice.I like the cooler Fall weather.The leaves are pretty.I love the yellow,orange,red and green colors of the changing leaves.It is so awsome to live in the mountains this time of the year.Thousands of people come to see the color change.I don't have to go anywhere,just go outside and drink in the beauty.Pretty dang gone awesome !!!!

Flu Shot

I went to my family doctor yesterday for my yearly check-up.Everything was good.I got my flu shot,ouch !! Really it wasn't bad at all.It's over with and I don't have to get one untill next year.
I believe in getting flu shots.They save alot of lives.
I don't worry so much about me but I would hate to catch the flu and give it to someone who couldn't fight it off so well.If someone died because they caught the flu from me,that would be horrible.
I wish everyone could get free flu shots.Our insurance pays for mine.Health care in the USA needs a huge make over.
There are people dying because they can't afford to go to the Doctor and can't afford the medicine that they need.
I had a nephew who died because he didn't get the health care that he needed.He tried to go to free or low cost clinics.They only see a few people,you have to jump tru hoops to see a good doctor.They didn't help him,by the time he was admited to a hospital and they found out what was wrong with him,it was to late to save him.He was 24 years old.
Every election year,you hear the great ideas to fix health care.You hope for the best but it seems only to get worse.
Health Care in the US is broken and it NEEDS to be FIXED !!!!
I wish that I could do something to really make a difference.
It just breaks my heart.

Watching The News.

I was watching the news on cnn while I ate my lunch.
Here's my thoughts on two items that I saw.
Number 1...I don't really care if Britney Spears was caught without underwear again{what is this girl thinking???}or that she turned herself in to the police wearing a pink wig.
Number 2....Russian President Putin and Iranian President Ahmadinejad seem to really get along.
Now I have the song Eve Of Destruction stuck in my head.Crap here it goes again,no wait it Peace Train.That's much better.
