Halloween

I'm looking forward to this Halloween.
I want to get some lights and a little pumpkin decoration for the house - not much but something!
So... hopefully some scary movies are on queue. (Pronounced like the letter 'q', mom!)
:)

Grey Gardens

As you see below in the video section, I have a current interest in "Grey Gardens", a 1975 documentary about the aunt and cousin of Jackie Kennedy Onasis.  I especially like "Little Edie", the daughter.  I have the 2009 movie of the same title that starred Drew Barrymore as Little Edie on DVD if you would like to watch it.  I suggest watching the original documentary first to get a feel for the characters and to fully appreciate what a good job Drew does playing her.  Even Robin was impressed!  If we decide to dress for Halloween, I plan on being Little Edie.

Why aren't you posting?

Why isn't anyone posting?  We have quite a bit coming up in the next three months, and this is a good way to keep informed.

The Halloween party is on, and if you want, we could include a board game tournament, although the REAL tournament will be on Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving this year will be here, although we were invited to Brian and Julie's house for supper.  I've been thinking it over, and I think it would be impossible to change a holiday (my favorite, followed closely by Christmas) that we get together as a family.

Halloween

Halloween is being celebrated on Saturday, Oct. 30th.  We will have the usual donuts and cider, pumpkin seeds, and other goodies, plus beer for those of us over 21. 

Let me know if you want to dress in costume.

Alice Crossing the Finish Line

Akron Marathon, Saturday, September 25, 2010

Alice ran the Akron Marathon today in about 4:15, taking about 25 minutes off her last time! Mandy ran the half marathon in 2:09! Congratulations to both of you!

Pierre's Pizza

Pierrre's Brooklyn Pizza and Deli on Kenmore Blvd. is really good!  We tried it earlier this week.  We had pepperoni and sausage, and it was great!  They are not open on Sundays.

She had me take her shoes and socks off so she could be like the other girls. This is her attempt at the electric slide

Halloween

As usual, we will be having our annual Halloween get together this year.  I will let you know the exact date as soon as I find out.  We will have pizza, donuts, cider, pumpkin seeds, and CANDY, and other beverages.  Prizes for the most unique costumes if you choose to dress up!

The advantage of being a Sim is that you can try out your designs, and if they don't work, just delete them.

Blog???

Please add to this blog.  We need posts and pictures.  Thanks.

Discuss Paul's Bathroom

Paul is going to remodel his bathroom. I think he should have white fixtures (bathtub with shower surround, toilet, sink).  The tub surround would mean he needs to eliminate the window or have a smaller window above the tub, which will be located along the back wall of the bathroom. Any ideas on colors, flooring (tile vs vinyl), etc. is appreciated, and pictures if you can find them.
