Not necessarily in that order

I bought this to store some of grandbaby #1's toys that wouldn't be safe for her baby sister.
I was making labels to keep things organized.
Labels mean nothing to a 3 year old. As I was labeling, she just started putting things away in what is clearly the logical way to do it. No labels required.

The branches here are pretty heavy.
Snow has fallen off the power lines but is hanging onto the trees.

Teach your children how much laundry detergent to use, lest you end up on a Sunday evening with literal buckets of bubbles and a bathtub full of soapy items.

@mckinleydturtle.bsky.social It turned out the leaves weren't so popular with the human guests, but Desiree was happy to take care of it once everyone left.

Since I didn't plan anything, I popped out, grabbed a few supplies and put together a charcuterie.
Not a bad looking display if I do say so myself.

Stopped for a quick visit and the signature cocktail was served.

Have you had these candied cranberries?
So simple to make and so delicious.
I think I have to make more.

I got a good stash at the bake sale at work today.
If anyone wants to pop in for a cookie and a cuppa over the holidays I'm happy to oblige.

Also grabbed a bottle Palestinian EVOO.

2nd set of winter tires to give away.
I need room I my shed for the tires for my new car.

I have two sets of winter tires on rims to give away.
They each probably only have a winter left in them, but what do you want for free, and then you have rims.
One set was on a 2012 Mazda 3 the other on a 2013 Mazda 3.
Sizes are in the photos.
Second set in first comment.

Sometimes an ad just hits it out of the park.
This Purple Cow ad is brilliant.

That's my bed, those are my pillows. She's a freeloader, she doesn't pay rent.
She does not plan to move so I can go to bed.

Desiree is using my foot for a pillow.
Apparently, I won't be going to bed tonight.

OMG, they made the bounce dress in a leopard 🐆 print!!!
And it's on sale!!!
And, it has pockets!!!
Somebody has to go buy this.

(Grampy says I don't need it, but he could be wrong)

This week, while I'm here holding down the fort, my eldest and his family are enjoying the fresh mountain air in Munnar.
For now, I'm living vicariously through them, but I told them next time they are taking me with them.

Here's a photo of it.
Eventually, I moved the other herbs out because the basil was hogging all the light. It grew much bigger than this.
Of course, the Aerogarden makes it easy. The light cycles on and off automatically, and the pot tells you when it needs food and water.

Look at that boy. Living his best life.

From my neighborhood group chat.

Check your kids' bags and keep all the alcohol for yourself.

No longerbored. He's on guard duty now.
He hasn't scared away a single trick or treater.

Still house sitting, so we had to divide and conquer.
Grampy has gone home to passport treats, and I stayed in Eastern Passage.
I didn't bring a costume, so I'm wearing my skeleton tights and my bouncy dress.
Yes, the dress bounces within a hair of decency. No, I don't care.
October 31, 2025 at 10:03 PM
Shubie is bored waiting for the trick or treaters.
October 31, 2025 at 8:55 PM
Grampy let me drive his new car.

I'm truly not a diva or a fashionista, but sometimes you just gotta coordinate your nails with your outfit.

My house didn't exist back then, but there are two houses I've lived in in this photo.
I used to walk through the Halifax Shopping Center to get to school.

Then you would probably also appreciate my other guilty pleasure.
Footwear.
Here are my pride boots, one of my favorites.
