I've been BOO'D!

Me, Sis, and friend back in the day!
I'm the one with the big, black buttons
which is the only thing I remember
about the costume. Sis is the cat in black.

You Have Been BOO'd!

The air is cool,
the season is fall,
Soon Halloween will come to all.

Ghosts and goblins, spooks galore...
Tricky witches at your door.
The spooks are after things to do,
In fact, a spook brought this "BOO" to you.

The excitement comes when friends like you,
Copy this note and make it two.
We'll all have smiles on our faces,
When we see who Boo'd who's places.

I was Boo'd by Amy at Whisperwood Cottage. Now...

The following 4 ladies have been officially BOO'd...

1. Colleen at Utah Grammie...fun and clever!
2. Lori R at Altered Glass...creative in so many ways!
3. Tina at Glue on my fingers...so creative but right now fighting cancer with all she's worth!
4. Donna at Brynwood Needleworks...projects and more!

This BOO party was started by Toni at The Tattered Cottage. Please keep the fun going by following these instructions.

1. You have 24 hours to work your spell

2. Copy and post the Halloween Boo Poem with the instructions for playing.

3. Pick 4 blogs you enjoying visiting and tell why you enjoy visiting them, with a link to their blog and remember to link back to me.

4. Go to the original BOO Party post at the Tattered Cottage and add your MckLinky.

5. Let's see how fast and far this spreads between now and Halloween.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

The sweetest ghoul you'll ever meet!

Doris!

Retractions, Corrections, and Benches

"You misquoted me on your blog yesterday," IT Guy told me last evening.

"I did?" I asked, innocently sitting down on the nearest bench.

"Yes." He paused to make sure he had my attention. "Technically, I said, 'Son of a bench! Stop making these dang things!' "

"What's the difference?" I said, doubting he had used the word dang.

"The difference is, I want to get credit for a great pun!"

Credit given, IT Guy.


Here are more benches. Thanks for stopping by. Do you want sugar in your iced tea?

I can't stand it when old fence wood is thrown out. I feel compelled to make something out of such good, weathered wood, so I have a fencebench in the front yard and a fencebench in the back yard, plus I've sold a few fencebenches. (Say that word fast three times!)


This bench is a favorite, mainly because the sides are shaped like cowboy boots.

On the seat of the bootbench, I painted playing cards. My daughter, Code Girl, says I need to paint another one. I'm one short, like that's news to anyone that knows me.

For lurkers who don't read the comments, I quote from yesterday:

Come, dear friend,
Let's sit a spell.
The weather's fine,
All is well.
We'll sip a glass of Texas tea and
Enjoy the shade of the kind oak tree.

The Simple Photographer goes to a pumpkin party at Jen R.'s place!

Bloggers have to be overly-creative people, just brimming with innovation and invention. Every time I turn around one of them is over the top with an idea or project.

The latest is a pumpkin party at Sanctuary Arts at Home. Blogger Jen R. is the hostess with the mostess so jump over there and visit with her and her friends.

My only contribution to the wing-ding is my pumpkin wagon, made with the free photo software called Gimp. Yes, I said free. Gimp is a party waiting to happen with your pictures. Download it and have some fun!

Oh, and happy early Halloween!
