My big MYSTERY (I know it’s YOU Daniel!!) is getting mysterious postcards in the mail with one or two lines written out for a song that I hate! HATE the song!! The postcard picture and lyrics are just enough to get that song playing in my head again. It’s brilliant. It’s funny. They are postmarked from different states. It’s a brilliant gag. NOW STOP IT!! And NO; I’m not telling any of you the song because I imagine I’d be getting all sorts of items to remind me of that dreadful song! That’s my funny for the month. I hope you have an amazing October!

It’s lovely reading through all the comments from a couple of years ago. Been getting quite nostalgic lately.

clojo9372
Happy Halloween everyone!! I am still struggling a bit with this horrible sinusitis BUT I refuse to give into it. I love Halloween and I am going to enjoy it. I got candy, a Halloween music mix, and great company – so I’m good! 🙂
Natalie
Today is Halloween and I am excited to be handing out candy to trick or treaters!
Michelle C
It’s been a very relaxing Sunday at home with my family. We enjoyed some pumpkin waffles for breakfast and carved jack o lanterns.
Sarah L
Quiet day at home, visit with a friend, now off to chorus rehearsal.
Annmarie W.
I’ve had a nice weekend. It’s been fairly quiet & relaxing. And we watched the football games all afternoon. My Patriots won! Hooray!
Natalie
I am having a very relaxing Sunday! I even slept 10 hours last night.
Krystal Waters
My day is going good so far, I have the snacks warming up and I’m ready for football to start.
michele
A lovely Sunday.. finished everything I wanted to do and will now connect with all my online buddies….
Diane K. Brimmer
My day is going great so far, but then again it is only 9:30 and I haven’t got passed my cup of coffee on this Sunday Morning. Would love to do something besides canning after church. May go for a ride on the UTV and see what’s left of the beautiful fall colors we have.
angie lilly
Day is going GREAT! Hubby decided to do all the laundry and clean the kitchen for me, so that I could have a day off (I’m a homemaker)! hahaha!
clojo9372
Very rainy Sunday morning. I feel like curling up and going back to bed. I am drinking coffee and listening to The Omen Trilogy score. 🙂
KATE SARSFIELD
Our clocks changed back an hour last night so I was looking forward to an extra hour in bed. Instead, I woke up at 6am in a panic about what if Mum couldn’t remember that I’d already adjusted all the clocks and put them back another hour ….. have been up ever since 🙁
Laurie Nykaza
We had a fun day carving pumpkins for halloween night so much fun with the kids.
Diane K. Brimmer
Well hello there! I am just doing fine. My father used to say, “Fine as Frogs hair I am!” At the time I thought that was a strange thing to say, but it is very are to see if they have any hair and he says you can’t be cause it is just so fine! Either way I guess he was quite fine! LOL!
Tamra Phelps
It’s been sort of a boring day, which is okay. Drama just doesn’t interest me, ha! Just a slow day of reading, watching TV & playing computer games.
Kristen
I’m having a very nice day, thanks! 🙂
Sarah L
A beautiful day for a walk on a quiet Saturday.
KATE SARSFIELD
Today was dry but chilly so I cleaned my car inside & out and checked the tyres, oil etc. ready for taking Mum up to Dublin to see her surgeon on Wednesday.
clojo9372
Feeling a little bit better. Taking a new medication for the sinuses. No more pressure behind my eyes anymore, but I do feel so sleepy… I assume that’s a side affect…
KATE SARSFIELD
My sinus meds have the same side effect so I’ve started to take them at night instead. Maybe worth a try?
Shelley
If I had a smart home I’d like to be able to check on my dog when I’m away.
michele
I do love Halloween and when it is on a weekend I get to be scary for 3 days!! LOL
angie lilly
Good so far! Sun is shining, belly is full of hot pumpkin spice latte, and hubby is in a good mood. 😀
Natalie
I have to work Saturday morning and need to do a lot of errands afterward.
Michelle C
My day was ok, but it’s looking up now that it’s the weekend! I’m ready for a couple of days off to catch up on laundry.
Diane K. Brimmer
Today was a good day but a very busy day for me. Went and had morning coffee with the gals. About 9 of us! Got home kinda late and had to power clean as we had a meeting with a gentleman later in the day. My little four legged friends like to chase each other and knock the pillows off the sofa. Now I get to relax and enter this wonderful giveaway that you are graciously offering. Hope you had a very nice day as well.
Natalie
I had a very busy day today at work. I am glad it is the weekend.

angie lilly
Day is great! Hubby home for the next four days to celebrate Halloween. It is sunny. I just filled my belly with vegetarian sausage gravy and biscuits. Life is good!
KATE SARSFIELD
Can someone please tell me what happened to October? Has anyone seen it ‘cos it’s completely passed me by! It’s Halloween on Monday & it also happens to coincide with a public holiday here in Ireland and on Sat. pm/Sun. am the clocks go back an hour so we’ll have the next few months of getting up in the dark to look forward to. Ugh 🙁
Kristen
I’ve had a nice day today, thanks 🙂

Lovely quiet day at home. Good smells coming from my crock pot.

Sarah L
Had a great massage and the a good swim class.
KATE SARSFIELD
I broke another tooth this morning & had to get a temp. cap on it as the nerve was exposed. I had anorexia/bulemia as a teen/young adult & now I’m paying for it unfortunately.

Sarah L
Mostly a quiet day at home. Since the Broncos played last night (and won) I got the Bronco special at McDonalds and at Arbys.
KATE SARSFIELD
I’m tired! We were up early to take Mum for a check up and then stopped in a garden centre we love that does wonderful lunches. She’s beginning to get used to the wheelchair but it’s sad how she can’t remember the names of the plants. Still, early days!
angie lilly
Going well so far! Last night’s visit with the in-laws went well for hubby and it is sunny outside, so I’ve no complaints today.

Taking the day off today feeling a bit low.. today my mum has been gone for 11 years… thinking of her….

My laptop came yesterday and it works great! I never bought a certified refurbished computer before, and it runs really well. I am so grateful to have been able to get it. I missed having my own so so much! 🙂
Sarah L
Lovely quiet day at home after a very busy weekend.
KATE SARSFIELD
I spent the day sorting through Dad’s desk, shelves & cupboards in his ‘office’. He was such an awful hoarder – he always said it was because he grew up during the war when no-one threw anything away.
Krystal Waters
I’m having a better day today so far than yesterday. Yesterday I was on my roof cleaning the gutters and I got to scared to come back down on the ladder my neighbor came over and helped me back down, thank God…some neighbors are really helpful.
angie lilly
Pretty good so far here. My mom-in-law is acting up and being nasty to my hubby for the first time in a few years and that is disheartening, as we thought we were past her silly manipulation games, but other than that…
michele
It is a glorious sunny day.. low humidity.. what shall I do ?? Wash the floors of course…LOL
Natalie
Unfortunately I am sick today and have been all weekend. .On the bright side, the weather is nice!

I believe my computer is being delivered today. I’m chomping at the bit. I am grateful my parents had let me use theirs, but I really need my own… LOL. 🙂
Diane K. Brimmer
I dare not complain about how my day is going, because I usually run into or hear of someone who has it much worse. Then I will feel bad for my complaining.

Big guests at work today. Since the big news of the CEO resignation, the company’s been in shock. But not everything moves on.
Diane K. Brimmer
I’m so excited, I’m about to loose control and I think I like it. The hunt is finally over! Houston we have a washer! After 2 weeks without one, I began to look at washboards when we saw the price of them. I am sending a big thank you out to Jill Youker & my husband who got it from her.

Glorious Sunday…. cooking early so I can sit and listen to music and read.. I do love Sunday….
clojo9372
My laptop died yesterday. I almost cried. 6 years old and I really loved it. Luckily I always backup so I didn’t lose any precious data. Thank God. I am going to replace it soon, but it really messed up my day.
Sarah L
Quiet day, then off to the chorus’ cabaret.
KATE SARSFIELD
Thunder & lightening and LOTS of monsoon-like rain all last night & again today – the end of Hurricane Matthew has hit Ireland. It’s humbling to think of what those in Haiti had to go through.
michele
It is a lovely Saturday outside so as soon as my laundry is dry and put away I plan on sitting in the front gallery and doing nothing!! Relaxing…
clojo9372
Kinda hot this morning… When it’s this warm I don’t have a lot of motivation to do anything but I shall persevere! 🙂

I am still a bit sore from this new strength training program I am doing, but I needed a break from the cardio I was doing, all the jumping and high impact moves were killing my feet. I needed a change… 🙂
KATE SARSFIELD
Miracles DO happen! Today Mum got dressed for the first time since her op. back in July & I drove her to visit Dad’s grave while I put some of his roses on it. Doesn’t sound like much but THINGS ARE LOOKING UP!
Tamra Phelps
That’s great! I remember when my Mom was recovering & it was huge when she could just get around on her own without me being on pins & needles listening for her to fall. Good for your Mum!
KATE SARSFIELD
Thanks Tamra! By the way, meant to ask you about your profile piccy on FB. Who is that wonderful woman?
Tamra Phelps
Lol, that’s Mata Hari. I saw it online & just thought she looked grander than any queen.
KATE SARSFIELD
No wonder she was so successful!
Tamra Phelps
Right up until she wasn’t! That was a harsh ending!

Quiet day at home. There’s a mouse in my garage and it’s time to get out the traps.
Krystal Waters
I’m sick of hearing about politics but other than that I’m doing great, went to the gym and I always feel better after that.
KATE SARSFIELD
… and I’m still tired! All this sleeping just isn’t working. I think I need to get physically tired out as well as mentally drained but that’s difficult when it hurts to walk and I can’t leave Mum anyway, so a nice warm bath & candles is on the agenda for tonight.
Jennifer
Back from a cystoscopy to remove kidney stone, and I’m glad it’s over, don’t want another one of these tests…ever. This after feeling, is the worst. It’s nice outside here today at least.

Sarah L
Any day is a good day when it starts with a massage and then a dip in the warm water pool.
Sheila Vives
Today has been a bit different, not bad, but not extraordinary. We did have blue skies and sunshine Just thinking about doing some fall organizing and preparing for winter. Looks like we are going to have a cold one this year.
Tamra Phelps
Well, I’m hungry (on a diet, lol) & I’m feeling ‘antsy.’ You know, that feeling like you want to do something but you have no Earthly idea what? Yep, that’s me today.
KATE SARSFIELD
I’m so cross with myself! I was putting fresh sheets etc. on the beds & somehow fell asleep. I woke up FOUR HOURS later & now everything’s on catch-up!

Going bulk shopping tomorrow so time to clean the frig and the cupboards and get ready..

The neighbor lady’s family pulled the life support plug yesterday and she passed away tonight. I will miss her. I did all I could when she fell last week. I still have memories of her floor, it was like looking at a murder scene in a movie. Poor lady, she was a great neighbor.

I feel like there isn’t enough hours in the day to do everything I want to do, but at least I am never bored… I need to go workout but I’m procrastinating. Taking off these last fifteen pounds is just murder… 🙁
KATE SARSFIELD
My haircut is fab (even if I say so myself!). I have to drive almost an hour to get to Fidelma but boy, she knows my hair. I’m beginning to get into Panto mode once again & thinking what I’ll wear. Black on black …
Mai T.
I can’t wait to see the next episode of the drama I like today. I can’t believe I’m more infatuated with a fictional character than anything else in the world at the moment.
Sarah L
Went to the volunteer summit for DBG. Lots of fun things going on at the gardens this fall.
Kelly O
I am having a great day. I am currently soaking laundry so I have time to spend on myself for a few minutes. That is always a welcome break.

We had a power outage nearly all day yesterday, so that messed up quite a bit of my plans. SO the work I planned to do then I will do today. It’s beautiful, sunny and bright! 🙂
michele
Well it looks like a pleasant day so I will bask in the sunshine for awhile and then get down to housework!
KATE SARSFIELD
Today my plans are to scoot around the house with the vacuum, do a very general tidy up, make Mum’s meals & help her out then I’M GOING OUT! Ok, it’s only to the hairdresser but oh, the joy of getting out of these four walls!

Wisdom tooth is the worst thing in this world, I swear. I’ve one now and it’s killing me every minute. Hope after all this pain, I’ll be much wiser.

Good swim, then off to a friend’s house to see what I need to do when I dog sit this weekend. Got my Bronco Deal at Arbys on the way home. Thanks Broncos for getting 2 touchdowns.
Connie Gruning
Sarah, that was a great game again!! Our boys are ON FIRE!! AGAIN!! Still haven’t been to Arbys to try that Bacon Sandwich.
Kari
I’m feeling a little down this afternoon. Two of my kids who live away at college were home for a weekend visit and they both headed back to school today. Missing them already!
Connie Gruning
Kari, that empty nest thing is HARD!!! I had a really hard time when my kids moved out. UGH!! It’s better now. Of course now I have Grandkids so it’s REALLY Better!! Hang in there. Tomorrow will be better!

Watching the path of Hurricane Matthew and praying that he does not devastate already devastated Haiti….One powerful storm….
Natalie
I am having a pretty typical Monday today. The weather is perfect though!
KATE SARSFIELD
Monday and the start of another week. The weekend was tough for Mum as the 1st would have been her Dad’s birthday & the 2nd was the anniversary of her Mother’s death. Since her stroke affected her short-term memory, lots of long-term and mostly forgotten incidents are being brought to mind so it was all a bit emotional for her. However, physically she continues to improve so we soldier on!
Connie Gruning
Kate, you are one very strong woman! Hang in there. {{{{{{{{{{{Mum}}}}}}}}}
KATE SARSFIELD
Thanks C. Nice to ‘hear’ words of encouragement every now & then!

Today is wet and cold, but the leaves are changing color . Fall is here. Just a lazy Sunday.
Tamra Phelps
Today has been one of those early Fall days that can’t decide what it wants to be: it’s rainy…no wait! Now the sun is out…oops, here comes the rain again. At least those 90+ degree days seem to be over.
Sarah L
Just a quiet day at home before I head off to chorus rehearsal.

On the outside it is rainy and cool, but inside we are warm and cozy. Just the right sort of day for reading a good book!
Marilyn Nawara
It’s a good day… I don’t have to work and it’s rainy outside so that means no yard work today either. I get to watch TV and surf all day.

It’s a gloomy, rainy day. Going to store later, and catching up on my show now, or trying to. Dollar General has summer clothes that were $15 for only $1.13!!
Connie Gruning
What??? $1.13?? I’ll be heading to Dollar General tomorrow!!
KATE SARSFIELD
Happy October everyone! Here in Ireland we’ve had some really beautiful Indian Summer days but, of course, being Ireland, as soon as I hang the laundry out it starts to rain! Anywho, glad to be back for my daily rant against the world. Thanks Connie for keeping me somewhat sane!
Connie Gruning
Ahhhh Kate, it’s the least I can do!! You’re not sending postcards are you? Trying to drive me INSANE?!
