What we did for Halloween
Halloween evening: “just got back from dinner at our little neighbourhood Italian restaurant. There were a bunch of Dutch kids running from restaurant to restaurant to grocery store trick-or-treating! And each establishment was giving out candy. How about that? I don’t think the kids were knocking on people’s doors, though. Interesting, huh?”
Monday Ramblings
Roxi was HILARIOUS as Eulalie McKicknie Shinn in her middle school’s production of “The Music Man“! She used a character voice throughout the show, which prompted a few people (mostly adults) to ask her afterwards to speak normally. And of course, what fun Mr. DJ and I had sitting anonymously in the audience and hearing [...]
Don’t you hate it when you talk about so many random things in your post that you can’t think of a good title?
I am on a new computer today. This weekend (while I was sick), I did a massive backup of my laptop to my external drive… and then I put my poor laptop out to pasture. So for now, I will be using the desktop Mr. DJ bought last month when our music studio computer died. [...]
Computer woes (again!) plus this and that
Something is going on with my computer. It is SO slow. Like painfully slow. So slow that it takes ages for anything to load. I think it’s because I’m running out of disk space. UGH! So until I can sit down to do some massive (but careful) deleting AGAIN, no long photo posts. I hope [...]
New Recipes and Another Blogger Meet :-)
I cannot stop thinking about Steamy Kitchen’s Fish Tacos with Roasted Corn and Pepitas and Homesick Texan’s Corny Dogs. I think I’ll make the corn dogs for my husband on Friday for our Halloween date since Roxi has a school dance/sleepover. She doesn’t like hot dogs, and to be honest, I’m not crazy about them either, but I’ll [...]
#40 Learn How to Apply Stage Makeup
Yes, I have another list going. Actually, I have just pasted together my many lists to come up with my master list of 101 things to do in 1001 days. In case your coffee hasn’t kicked in, 1001 days is just under three years–the total length of time we are supposed to be here in [...]
Autumn in England
The other day I was driving back home after dropping Roxi off at school when I noticed this view. The leaves on the trees had thinned enough for me to see a little church across the field. The colors were so intense that morning that as soon as I got home, I grabbed my camera [...]
Happy Halloween!
Detailing of the amazing-looking Astronomical Clock in Old Town Prague. More photos tomorrow. This time last year, we were just settled in our new house in Texas. Roxi went trick-or-treating in our neighborhood with a bunch of her friends from school. This year, she will be trick-or-treating with 270 schoolmates in a lock-in (they literally [...]
MORE Candy?!
We are supposed to bring 270 pieces of candy for Trunk-or-Treat–so back to the store I go tomorrow. I was thinking Trunk-or-Treating was kind of a weird way to handle Halloween. However, it seems the British (for the most part) don’t “do” Halloween. Today, we saw houses with “Sorry, No Trick or Treat Here” signs [...]
