I was so disappointed that Cody and Juliann got voted off Dancing with the Stars last night.  I was hoping it would be Cody, Lance and Brooke but instead it’s Warren, Lance and Brooke.  I bet Brooke will take the mirror ball home.  Well she will unless Lacey comes up with a totally awesome freestyle dance for her and Lance and blows everyone away.  That could very easily happen too.  Lacey is really good.

Well on Dancing with the Stars, they sent Susan Lucci home this week.  She’s so beautiful and so very tiny.  I love her on All my Children.  Erica Kane is something.  Susan is a very gracious lady too.  I did not have any idea she was in her 60’s though.  Anyway, I think she did a great job especially when I found out she’s as old as she is.  I had no idea.  I hope I look that good when I get into my 60’s but I won’t hold my breath.

It’s finally here.  Halloween night and we are all ready to hit the doorbells.  Nothing like a dozen kids yelling “Trick or Treat” on someone’s porch, is there?  Then to see the look on their faces when they get the candy, now that’s what I call a natural high.  Holidays are about the kids.  It really chaps my rear when adults try to ruin something for the kids like they have tried to mess up Halloween.

I do like the ‘Trunk or Treat’ thing a lot of churches are doing.  You don’t have to walk as far and you know the candy’s safe for the kids to eat right away.  You don’t have to take it to the local hospital and have it x-rayed to make sure there’s nothing hidden in the candy.

Well, here’s to hoping you all have a great Halloween and get lots of candy.  Remember to tell the people ‘Thank you.’

Well tomorrow I told my brother and sister that we would go to a local pumpkin patch and pick out a pumpkin to make into a jack-o-lantern for Halloween.  We have a tradition of toasting the pumpkin seeds and making cookies when we finish the jack-o-lantern.  It’s a lot of fun for us.

Then we usually try to figure out what type of costume we are planning on wearing.  I always dress up to take them out too.  It’s a blast.  We try real hard not to spend a lot of money on costumes.  Mom loves to go to yard sales and usually picks up wigs and stuff she thinks we could use to make our costumes.  It’s more fun that way if you ask me.  We make it a week or two long thing getting ready for Halloween.

Did you hear about the three white tiger cubs that were rejected by their mother?  Well Isabella, a golden retriever took them in.  She nursed the ‘puppies’ and loved them just as much as if they barked instead of meowed.  People think animals don’t have feelings but I disagree.  Some animals have more feelings it seems than some people I know.  If it hadn’t been for this dog, those tiger cubs would have died.  Now the small safari park in Kansas will have the three cubs thanks to this amazing dog.
