Photo Hunt theme: TWISTED

I'm always looking, this time of year, for creative pieces for celebrating Halloween. It's almost become a tradition that I make a big pot of chili for Halloween dinner along with crazy bread [a mixture of bread dough, cheddar cheese, jalapeno peppers, onion and egg white] where I chop the dough and other ingredients on a chopping board, let it rise as is and then bake it where it browns well and serve the chili, crazy bread, with a tossed salad. Then, for dessert it's usually a hot fudge sundae. For years, I've done this. But this year, it just may be a bit different. "Chili Dogs" are good too. And when at Wal Mart the other day, I saw this magazine cover and it looks like FUN for Halloween. In a TWISTED way!!

Mummy Dogs!!-----------




And of course, for me, I'll make 'em with Turkey franks...much less fat and the bad cholesterol is mostly non-existent.

CAMERA CRITTER...Black and Red and cute all over!!


And since my Photo Hunt Photo above is of a Halloween theme...I thought I'd carry off a Camera Critter photo to coincide with the previous section of my blog today! Of course, I only have grandSONS, but I tellya, if they were really small again [my youngest G-son is 13], and they lived nearby instead of a 1000 miles away, I'd be tempted to buy this and make his life a bit traumatized. [kidding!] Oh how I would adore a small little one that I could call grandDAUGHTER!! She'd be the sparkle of my eye to be sure. And I would have snatched this 'critter costume' for her to wear in October!! This is by far, the cutest ladybug I've seen!!! Anybody got a G-daughter I can borrow for Halloween? Adorable, or what?

Again, it's Autumn, a highlight season for me....


'Tis Football Season in America. Autumn is also time for the Fall Classic [the baseball World Series]. From Little Leagues to Major Leagues you feel the rush of the competition. Yet, in all the turmoil of the world these days, and what you hear, read, view is most constantly the 'bad to worse'!! I read this story, and bawled....

"We weren't sure how gloomy they would be before the game," Morgan said. "They had gloom, but it was not as bad as we thought. We met before the game, and they told us that they did not want us to feel sorry for them, and they did not want us to back off just because of what happened. They wanted us to play them like we would have if Duffy has still been there with them, so we did."

It's sad, it's downright respectful of the human being and friend! You should read it. There IS STILL the Good in this World we live in. But, you may want a tissue.......
