The Old Folks Home

Happy November everyone!

No trick or treaters here as per norm either. DH and I spent the day yesterday tearing apart our radio room and putting it back together. We found some really great folding utility shelving on Monday at Orschelns. Regularly 129 dollars and on sail for 49. Bought two of them. One went into the utility room as a linen rack and the other the radio room to hold our radios. We still have some work to do but I'm glad we got it rearranged.

So next stop, Thanksgiving. Thinking ahead. Will probably spend the holiday at home. Turkey for me, roast beef for DH. No trip to neighbor's this year. I can't be around that many kids in an enclosed area without wearing a mask. NO fun when you are trying to eat.

Plans for today, finish radio room and continue fall cleaning.

@1muttsfan, the way my red warty squash ran this year I'd have to put up shade cloth over a half acre. Those vines are pretty awesome and the leaves are huge.
 
Thank you for asking.

Saw this on McMurray Hatchery this AM... kid loves her guineas.

Somebody's mom is a brilliantly creative costume maker, too!

BB2K and I entered the animal costume contest at the Cape Fear Fair and Expo last night. We've done some of the "main/mane 6" My Little Pony characters in the past, and while people have loved them, we thought this time we'd do something a little different. Still MLP, just a bit edgier; we were wondering if anyone would recognize them. There was one little MLP fan who did; most other folks saw the wings and just thought "dragons." I was rushing to get this done, and didn't get any of them finished to my satisfaction (to me it really shows), but hey, it was fun. Maybe one of these years, I will actually get going on an idea with enough time to do the job properly, but if I do, Cindy may need to put netting over her Pig Derby track because her pigs will have sprouted wings . . . :rolleyes:

Sorry about the pics; the lights in the livestock tent turn everything weird colors and it's hard to get a good shot in such limited space.

Here are:

Blondie as "Flutterbat" (a vampire bat version of Fluttershy)
Syd as "Nightmare Moon" (the evil transformation of Princess Luna)
Betsy as Discord, a onetime antagonist/villain who in later seasons got turned by the power of friendship, or something like that . . .

That is great! I am surprised they put up with it.
