Monster Mash Bash 5

[gottahaveahoove]

WEll, Halloween is the date for the minimeet this year. sadly, Joe Kassock, Mike Gravelin, and Greg Fildess cannot make it, due to work, location, family committments.
There might be around 6-8 people. Thee pumpkins are all coming out, etc... although, the place is spooky enough year round. Italian dinner......etc.
It should be a fun time,as usual. Pics will follow.
"BOO!".

I plan to show up!

I plan on coming! Love your MiniMeets!! Shall I bring something? We'll have to converse!

Thanks John!!

 

[gottahaveahoove]

We will converse

I'll be busy until Friday.  The mother of a good friend of mine died the other day.  The wake at the funeral home is Tomorrow.  I'll be home later in the night. 


 Looking forward to seeing you.

Drat!

<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">Regrettably, I'm not going to be able to make this one, John.  I've recently begun singing with our Band during our late service: on top of that, I'm now in charge of the sound for BOTH services!</span>


 


<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">I do hope to be able to make one of your gatherings after the New Year: meantime, best wishes to all of you for a most enjoyable Halloween weekend!</span>

Preparations are underway

I started making Halloween cookies tonight.  These sugar cookies have been made in our family for over 100 years now.

 

[gottahaveahoove]

I just made pumpkins and

bats.

 

[gottahaveahoove]

A constant flow of

2 sheets in,  2 out

 

[gottahaveahoove]

The new oven is

getting a workout these days.

 

[gottahaveahoove]

More pics soon.

In the meantime..... Got Milk?

 

[gottahaveahoove]

I'm also making gingerbread cookies, and Italian pepper

cookies. THey are always a hit around here.
Dinner will be Italian, along with some "devilled eggs"... will, it IS Halloween!
Some snacks, etc..served in very 'festive' dishware.
I'm decorating the whole place as usual. I'm even putting 'vintage' "blow mold" pumpkin lamps in the front windows. Pics will follow shortly.
And, Rob, did someone mention "FONDUE"?????????
Got the cheese, the HOOVER fondue pot, and...... bread pieces might come from a pastry 'casket'. Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Wow........

<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">Wish I could be there.  Had thought maybe I would.</span>


<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">But.......  checked the airfare and it is prohibitive at this time and my garbage disposal died and my stove died. Been kind of expensive couple of weeks.  And, my car was sideswiped in a WalMart parking lot.  Hit and run has left me with a lot of details to sort out.  </span>


<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">A bad case of bronchitis has kept me worn out for a few weeks now, too.</span>


<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">The only good part about that is recuperating in the sunny Florida weather.</span>


 


<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">I'll think of you all that night.  Joining some friends for a Halloween get-together.</span>


 


<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">Have a wonderful time.  Love to John and all!</span>
