Happy Halloween!!!!

Happy Halloween!!!
Last night was our night to halloween in my little town, from 6:00 to 8:00. Oh my, kids were everwhere. I actually didn't have that many, but the ones I did have, I didn't even know them. I handed out candy bars to all the gohsts, goblens, princesses, spidermans, and a variety of others. It was fun seeing all the different costumes and the kids.

Just a pinch

Hi
I was searching the web the other day and came across this website, it has great recipes, and is very interesting. While looking at some of the recipes, I found that you could save them. It has its own little recipe file. I thought I would share them with my blog.

Good Morning! Just got back from CT and NY. Went to visit my daughter and grandsons. I had a wonderful time, of course the week went by too quick. I did a little shopping, saw a show, and just had a fun time. I plan to go back at Thanksgiving for a long weekend, and go into NY and see the  Rockettes also do some Christmas shopping. I love NY at Christmas. My business is doing great, I have more clients that I really can handle, but I will manage. I am so blessed. God is so good. I have a couple of recipes to share.

Hi

Hi Everyone
 I am trying to keep my blog updated. I have been gone for awhile, I have been spending some time in NY with my grandsons. There Mom and dad went to Europe, and I came to babysit for them. What a fun time we had. I just love going to NY nice restaurants, shows, Shopping, tours and most of all the people. So many different nationalities and so many different languages. Its so interesting. I will be going home this weekend. I hate that I am going to miss the trees turning into fall. The mountains are beautiful this time of year. Well back to Indiana and back to work. Work does the body good.
