Did you miss me????!!! :) I've had a case of the blogging blahs, I guess. There have been lots of things that I could have blogged about--like my job which is killing me, the hail storm we had in August that hammered the garden and flowers, herding lessons with Duffy, the return of health problems that I had 5-6 years ago, the course I'm taking, how I'm going to buy a muzzle for my dad, so he can't talk, etc., etc. But I just couldn't work up any enthusiasm about writing it down. I noticed a number of other Canadians have been in the blog doldrums lately too. Maybe it's something in the air???
Anyway, I decided that a good way to re-enter the blog world would be with an upbeat, fun thing--like a party!! Specifically, this is the Halloween Party that Second Wind Dreams put on for the residents of 8Y this past Sunday. We all did the decorating and settling up the tables just before the party. Claire's nephew and his girlfriend provided the entertainment--they are very talented! I had baked 4 1/2 dozen cupcakes--mocha chocolate, spice, and pumpkin spice. I only needed to have baked half that amount!! Oh well--lots in the freezer for Halloween!! So here goes!
