Halloween Bunco

It's time once again for my Halloween Bunco.

I have written my annual invitation poem,

but this

year I have added something new....

It’s that time once again, but look for a Twist

And if you dare to not come, the Powers at be will be Pissed

Rumor has it that a Masquerade Party has been planned

With Murder and Mystery, it’s bound to be Grand

An invitation will arrive with your part, which is Key

To give you the tools you will need to administer the Third Degree

You will play an important part,

so bring your Wits and your Cunning

And a Masquerade Mask that is both Glitzy and Stunning

You may Dress as you wish, but in Character I would Choose

Rewards will be given for those that step it up and Amuse.

October 28 is the date I think would be best

Let me know if this works to eliminate my stress

A delicious Mexican dish is the price of Admission

not to mention a lovely Bunco Tradition

Please come ready to play and help solve this Masquerade Mystery

And I apologize ahead…….you do know my History.

We shall be playing a murder mystery...

Something I have been wanting to

try for a long time.

Mystery at the Masquerade Ball,

I will let you know how it goes.

I'm hoping it will become our new tradition

and will be a party to die for.

Pumpkin Bread

Not too catchy of title...

all the hype is for the pumpkin bread .....

DELICIOUS!!!!

Kristi stopped by with some pumpkin bread

the other morning,

I supplied the chai tea,

and

we had the makings of a little party. 

it was so moist and yummy.

She posted the recipe and it's definitely

a keeper.  (butter is optional of course)

Go HERE to go to Kristi's blog

for the recipe.

It was good till the last drop...

and I'm not talking about the tea.

Happy Thursday!!

FOT time again

After deciding not to design a Festival of the Trees,

tree this year,

I found myself...

you guessed it,

with a TREE. 

I took delivery and now with a design

in mind will again be decorating a tree for the festival.  

As always it is a 

terrific cause, and I look forward to it. 

Once a tree designer, always

a tree designer I guess....

If you live in Southern California and

would like to see the trees,

here is the website. 

It's at the Riverside convention

center, right across from the great little shops

downtown. 

You can make a day of it,

and be sure to go to Simple Simon's for lunch.

Here's a tease of this years design. 

I will even give you a hint

with my title...

"Home for Christmas"

Welcome October

I feel like Fall is really here.....

this morning while

having our coffee on the patio
it actually started drizzling. 

Felt like Fall! 

What do you do in October

when it feels like Fall? 

Get out the goulies of course.

Plan a dinner of course!

Light the candles of course!

Put out the appetizers of course!

The only question remains....

WHO

What shall we

have for dinner?
