N pumpkin latte yet, but maybe soon. I usually have a mocha ice coffee every day - mid morning..it's my wake up juice -:)

Hello Rick! it's a beautiful day in our neighborhood, wished we had a pool....I'd be out in it right now..swimming laps...

Hello,Rick, start your Thursday off right.

 Life is like an echo. What you send out 

comes back. What you sow, you reap. What 

  you give, you receive. What you see in 

others exists in you. life is like a box of 

 chocolates you never know what you're going 

to get. each petal is a  dream  and each thorn 

 a  reality. life is like a coin, you can spend  

  it as YOU WANT, but you can only spend it

once If you look in a mirror and smile, 

life will smile at you. I will give  and  

  you a surprise with my magic wand and 

 your life will be as you expect and 

your face will be as beautiful as your 

heart. maria

  Hello Rick -  I had a nice birthday.. Went to Applebees and ordered Chicken Quesadilla.. Did you ever try this before? They are tortillas with chicken, cheddar cheese and peppers.. Also I ordered one of their fancy Halloween drinks - a tipsy zombie.. They had the same two drinks they had last Halloween.. Yeah, I'd like to go into the haunted mansion.. I'll bet they have a few of my favorite characters in there, like Jason, Michael Myers, Dracula and Frankenstein.. They'd all be in there playing cards waiting for me.. Tell Summer about the tipsy zombie.. Next time I go, I'll get Dracula's blood.. Halloween is such a fun time of year.. Such neat stuff to look at.. Are the people in your neighborhood decorated?

I hope you've been enjoying your day Rick. It's a sunny, warm day here...doesn't feel like fall at all! hoping for changes soon.

 Howdy Rick - Thanks for stopping by with the pretty greeting card.. I'd like to explore the haunted house you have.. Spooky good! Rick.. Is that Summer floating around out there trying to find her way in..

Hello,Rick, start your Wednesday with your mind

  clear life is short so: kiss slowly,

laugh insanely,  love truly and forgive quickly.

 life is not about waiting for the storm to

pass,it, s about learning to dance in the rain.

  life laughs at you when you, re unhappy.

life smiles at you when tou,re happy. but,

life salutes ypu when you make others happy.

the most important thing is to enjoy 

your life, to be happy. it,s all that 

matters.i don, t want a perfect, i want 

  a happy life. my life may be going the

way i planned it, but is going exactly the

way god planned it. such is life 

hugs and kisses, maria

thanks Rick...I'm hoping it's all good, but I don't think so...

Hi Rick!  I've noticed more and more neighborhoods are getting their yards decorated for Halloween. We don't, I just have "fall type" of decorations on the front porch area, do you decorate for Halloween? Also, I stopped handing out candy for trick or treaters about 4 yrs ago...because of all the businesses doing "trunk and treats" type events, we barely had any kids come around, that saved us a lot of money on candy! LOL!
