Happy Thanksgiving sweet friends!

It's Friday

And I'm nosy...

So here's the question: With Thanksgiving just a week away, we're all thinking about our holiday festivities and menu planning. So I ask you, have you ever made a pumpkin pie or will you be making a pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving this year? Do you also make your own crust?

I admit I've never made one. I don't even know if I've ever made a pie of any sort. I'm a cake, cupcake, brownie, cookie, candy baking kinda girl.

Plus, I don't care for pumpkin pie...even if it is covered with Cool-Whip.

But now I'm thinking, maybe I should put "make a pie" on my bucket list!

I'm slightly embarrassed to admit it but I'm back in Maui right now. I know, I was just here 3 months ago! We're here at our timeshare and sometime soon I'll talk about our trip to Maui in August. We were talked into the trip by our good friends but the trip didn't turn out so hot for them, which meant not so hot for us too. More on that later.

I snapped this picture today on my walk. I have a regular route and routine when I'm here. Today I saw lots of sea turtles and took a few pictures. Hopefully I'll be able to post them later this week. Internet isn't working in the room like it's supposed to so I'm downstairs in the lobby where I've latched onto their wi-fi!

Take care and ALOHA!

Another Halloween Comes and Goes...

I seriously love Halloween but every year I'm a little relieved when Halloween night comes to an end. We live in a neighborhood that gets bombarded with trick-or-treaters, yet not a single one of them actually lives in the neighborhood. I don't know where everyone came from last night but it was craazzy busy out there. I thought that since Halloween was on a Sunday night, maybe we'd get less kids and that they'd quit early. Didn't happen, there were people everywhere!

I spent $50 on Halloween candy but for some reason it felt like I bought much less this year. Here is a picture of my set-up, right by the front door, ready and waiting for the massive amounts of kids that would stop by. By the way, we stand outside on our front porch and hand out candy because you'd never make it back to the couch to sit down in between kids!


We also had another HUGH box of chips that didn't make it into the picture. We have a good friend who works for Frito-Lay and he can get chips for next to nothing so we always get a couple of boxes to hand out at Halloween. I made a quick trip to Carl's Jr. to get Howard and I a drink and when I got home, ALL of the chips were gone! It never matters how much I buy, regardless, it's ALL gone within 2 hours! Like I said, it gets craazzy busy in our neighborhood!

Needless to say, I have a love/hate relationship with Halloween when it comes to trick-or-treating! Having hundreds and hundreds of people around, that I don't know, wearing masks, makes me just a little nervous!
