Happy Halloween

by Zona and Mr. Zona

As most of you know..Mr. Z loves carving pumpkins for Halloween. I am always amazed by how he can take just about any picture and carve a pumpkin that looks so much like it...I'm lucky if I can carve the traditional triangle eyes, nose and jaggedy mouth!! Every year we have a big Halloween display in our front yard and we usually get anywhere from 200 to 400 trick or treaters. A lot of former neighbors are so impressed by the pumpkin patch section of the display that they have made it a tradition to come back year after year to see the new ones he's carved. I thought you might like to see some of the pumpkins Mr Z carved for this year..as well as a couple from previous years. I hope you like them! Happy Halloween!!

    Jodi - Thank you for asking me to post pictures taken yesterday (area 51) but I am having trouble unloading my pictures onto my computer. I am going to have my Mac Geek out to take a look at it. I will post them when I can.

    Zona - Your husband's pumpkins are amazing. I would love to see the whole display. It must be fantastic. No wonder you get hundreds of trick or treaters. We will be lucky if we get a handful. We will have fun with the family however. I love Halloween.

    Hi T's and J!!

    I like Heath Ledger as the Joker...I have never had any success with pumpkin carving...but I have fond memories of going to a pumpkin patch with friends and picking juuuust the right one...taking it home...preparing everything to carve our pumpkins all the while enjoying cocktails of the season....ahhh..good times....

    Then trying to poke the first eye and realizing "hey this sucker is thick!" ....then another stabbing her hand while trying to cut that nice little lift-off toppy thingy...

    Pretty soon there are pumpkin entrails and people bleeding all over the kitchen....and either mad or crying....drunk.

    Some things are best left to the pro's....like Mr. Zona...

    I just love the start of the holiday season....

    Zona, These pumpkins are amazing! You should post a pic of your house too.

    Tina, Good moaning. Love the George pumpkin.

    Tinka, You are so lucky to get to celebrate Halloween twice.

    Have a good day everyone. I am off to my follow up visit with the podiatrist. BBL

    Hi Guys!

    Happy Halloween!

    I thought I better check in early today..tonight is going to be crazy! Mr Z is setting up all the stuff in the front yard..so he is running in and out of the house like a maniac. It's like this every year..I just sit in the OFC and wait for him to hollar "Could ya help me?!!" lol..

    TINA: You don't like Frankie?..well I nevah!! ;D The Planet of the Apes one is my fave..and of course..the Raiders are #1 in my book.. :D

    JODI: I told him..he's smilin' from ear to ear.. :)

    TINKA: The whole night goes by so fast..family and friends are here and gone..sometimes I think it would be nice if it was a little quieter. Randy loves all this commotion though! Have a good time tonight! :)

    MICHAEL: I can't carve a pumpkin to save my life..I don't carve pumpkins because with my track record..my kitchen would be a mad, crying bloody mess too!!

    BARB: I'm going to try and get some video..but it's always so crazy I tend to forget..big surprise..right? LOL!

    Good luck today at the doctor..I hope your foot is much, much better! :)

    I better get moving..so much to do..so little time!

    btw..it's going to be 91* today..what the heck happened to Fall?

    Michael does Belle like snakes and creepy crawly things? There is a python that seems quite attracted to her. ijs

    Muahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!

    Be careful were you sit Owls!!!!

    omg...Shirley! ...Belle and I had a friend snake and she will alert me to the presence of a snake but I wouldn't say she "likes" them...and a python would squeeze the breath out of her and eat her...

    Thats an unnerving thought...but through a series of trials and errors she has learned what creepy crawlers she can play with and eventually eat....and the ones that will hurt her...

    Wha...what is wrong with this cushion...I think someones purse is under it....YUP! Louis Vuitton! Its Mary's! Ya Know...I was a little nervous there for a moment WHOA!!!

    Sofa cushion flies up!!...werewolf jumps out...rips off Michaels arm and starts beating Shirley with it!!

    Happy Halloween Owls!!!!! Muahahahahaha!!!!!!! I have some wonderful culinary delites to make your tastebuds go wild! It wouldn't be Halloween without my famous penicilon pizza. This year I dusted the top with some fuzzy belly button link. mmmmmm! For appitizers I've made some fingers in a blanket and some bacon wrapped eyeballs. This year I also decided to get a nice firm rump roast. We have peanut butter and toe jam sandwiches. I've made some jello surprises and turd cookies for the kiddies. Lets see, what am I forgetting...ah yes, the punch. There's a little bit of everything in here, and there is plenty more in the kitchen. You'll find in the Red Cross containers. Enjoy!!

    Just_Lin - My kids and grandkids know nothing about Macs. I have to hire a Mac Geek. They are all into PC's. They call me a Mac Geek. I was learning a lot when I went to classes every week but my brother-In-Law and I haven't been to a class in 3 years. His health hasn't been good and I am not up to sitting for two hours at a time.

    Zona - I keep wondering how busy you are right now. We have had 10 kids including our grandchildren. They were all dressed so cute or scary. We are sitting by the fire enjoying a Halloween movie on the TV. At our age that is just fine with us. We had our busy Halloween nights in the past and the last two days have been very busy with our grandchildren. It's nice to have some quiet time.

    I think I will get a head start on clearing all the Halloween stuff off my farms. Then I won't have to do it tomorrow. I love Halloween but as soon as it is over I want everything gone. There is nothing sadder than a jack-o-lantern the day after Halloween.
