Halloween is coming!

-

There's a house in the neighborhood....a Tudor revival owned by a taxidermist....and every year he turns his front yard into a Halloween fantasy.  I call it "Halloween House".

Here's a photo I found on Google.





You can find my photos here.


This year has been so rough on all of us...We've lost so much...I would not have blamed the taxidermist if he didn't do his yard this year.


But I drove by the other day....


And he's putting the finishing touches on this year's display.

    Awesome. Yard displays are something that are quarantine safe, so I bet more people go all out this year.

      I have been seeing a lot of yard displays, and earlier than normal.

    I decided NOT to put out my decorations this year! I don't want kids out trick-or-treating, so felt a decorated house would encourage them. My state recommends no trick-or-treating or trunk-or-treating.

    I used to decorate some when my son was growing up. I've also decided not to offer candy this year. That decision may be taken from us by then, anyway.

      Yeah, I'd be nervous too. We are seeking an uptick here, too, but not as bad.

      Oregon too is having more positive cases. I get a daily update from the Health Authority, and yesterday was a record high for positives. It said we had undone the progress made over the summer. Very concerning as we are heading into indoor weather.

Music Monday

Another “your choice” week. How about new music from icons of the 60’s and 70’s? Let’s start with Jimmy Buffett’s posthumous hit, “Bubbles Up”. The Rolling Stones released a new song in 2023, it’s called “Angry”. The surviving Beatles (with some  help from AI) released “Now and Then”. And then Billy Joel …    The AI effects in the video blew me away… A note about the AI effects … the Beatles used it to isolate John’s vocals on an old demo.  Billy Joel had a young man play the piano then superimposed his own face onto the image of the younger man.

Ultimate Blog Party!!!!

thanks to suzanne , I decided to join the party. I got into blogging last year because of Suzanne. I've known her on message boards for awhile, but I've gotten to know her much better since entering the blogosphere. I've also met several others whose blogs I am starting to love, and look forward to meeting even more bloggers now that I've joined the party. So I guess that means I have to introduce myself. I am a single mom from Long Island. My older daughter, Jen, is a college freshman, going to school in New England. Younger daughter, Becca, is a high school junior. I am also an attorney with an insurance company, with offices in Jersey City, NJ, a really "wonderful" commute. I sit on the board of trustees at my synagogue (which means I do a lot of volunteer work there!), and I am active in various fundraisers for the American Cancer Society, currently planning for this year's Relay for Life. I like ot take photos, so you'll see many of them in ...

Saturday 9

  Blame It on the Bossa Nova Welcome to Saturday: 9 . What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love to  answer the questions, however, and here is today's questions! Saturday 9: Blame It on the Bossa Nova (1963) Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it  here . Funny you should mention Eydie.  She’s sort of a relative.  My late mother-in-law always said that she and Eydie were cousins.  Eydie was a Sephardic Jew, as was my mother-in-law, so I have no reason to doubt the connection,  so I guess you can say my kids are related to Eydie,   Eydie and Neil Sedaka were cousins, but I’m not sure if Neil was related to my moth...
