I am a very scarey person which on Halloween is not a bad thing!

Doc and I made a horrifying video. We are preparing to go to the Halloween karaoke party in the ballroom since we are using my practically brand new karaoke machine. I have persuaded the very reclusive Mr. Emde to bring the video camera down and shoot a little film if he is not too frightened to go out of his room. Recluses get that way you know. I just saw my neighbor Daniel who is a huge extrovert just like I am. We are the karaoke party enthusiasts. He also promises to get everyone up dancing. He is going as Dick Tracy. Jackie said she and Mike were coming as mummies. Daniel gave me tips on how to dress up my burnt orange and black outfit.

I just talked to my son Raymond who hasn't made it past his sister Ronda's house. She and her husband Chad and son Ethan live 40 miles to the north just coming in to town. He said his dog Baby and her dog Bailey have bonded. They were to my grandson Ethan's football game. Ethan has been having fun getting his oostumes ready for Halloween tonight. He and his mom always have great fun on Halloween. She has been posting Halloween costume photos on Facebook. I saw a scarey looking sight when I went on there this morning, her father my ex on Facebook
The family has been posting grandkid Halloween photos on the family site. Halloween is a great photo taking time. I am taking my camera to the party, so if I see any unusual and frightening creatures there I will photograph them for you.

The doggie days of summer with photos of my new granddog, Raymond's Baby

My grand niece Kate sent me photos of Baby and her dog McKye playing together in Boulder and having a lot of fun. Kate has a blog for family and friends chronicling her life with her baby Kelton with lots of great photos of a darling subject.
I have gotten in the habit of going out early mornings on the patio, the time when dog owners are generally giving their dogs their early morning walk. This morning the renovaters were pouring the red cement walkway around the swimming pool, so a brigade of young muscular guys with wheelbarrows full of red concrete mix greeted me. They were working so hard wheeling their loads in from outside the gate and sweating so profusely I began to feel quite lazy. I hardly knew there was so much to this renovating of the pool until I started watching its progress every day. It is the most popular thing right now for residents to view. We haven't had this much building activity around here since the renovation of the tower where I live a few years ago. After that, we had the renovation of the elevators. You can count on somebody building something every day which always signals to me a busy bunch of people, and as long as some workers can keep on working all is well.
As for Baby, isn't she adorable with those big ears? The first photo I posted a while back did not show them.
Don't know what I am going to do today. I just play it by ear. I am afraid of intruding everywhere in people's regular activities after having been out of circulation so long breakfasting with Doc, talking and making videos. I have not heard from Doc anymore which is good. Shows he is adjusting to my absence okay. I had gotten so aggravated I don't really miss him either. It was time.
Maybe I will go play some pool this morning, maybe not. I think I will at least go and check to see if anyone is playing as this morning a bus was coming to take people out to breakfast somewhere, a regular activity they do each month. I purchased seven bus tickets, each for $1 yesterday so I am set to ride the bus for a while. I went to the grocery store yesterday and the thrift store which had unexpectedly changed hands since I was there last. My favorite clerk who has been working to Unique for years is gone. The Unique is now the Salvation Army thrift store, but I got a schedule and see they have some good sales, so I will be all right! I got two silk sleeveless blouses yesterday in beautiful colors of gold and burnt orange to go with my long full skirts. I don't wear anything else in the hottest month of the year here, August.
So I hope you get a lift from seeing this photo of Baby and his pal playing so exuberently. I did.
