A Day at the Barn…Shopping…and Hunting Spiders on Halloween

Happy Halloween y’all  

This is Saturday morning and it is coffee time for sure. We got up a little later than usual this morning. We did not get home from Canton until late so it was after 10:00 o’clock before we turned in. There was no big rush this morning to go anywhere so we just lazed around and read emails and Sherri played Bejeweled for some time. The plan was to go to the barn and get caught up on our washing. I needed to mow the lawn and Mike wanted to build him some jack stands.

We finally got our coffee down and Sherri got the wash together and we went to the barn. I wanted to check my new water line and be sure I had no leaks in it before Sherri got started on the laundry. After connecting the water to the new line I had a stoppage in the line from some dirt that had got in there during the gluing up process. I got that cleared and then all went well. I got the line covered and started on Mike’s jack stands. Mike and I tagged teamed the mowing for a while until the girls decided that they needed to go to Wally World for something…I have got to the point I don’t even question what it is…I just go.

We had planned on going to the Wally World in Quinlan but that changed when we got there and we went on to Rockwall. By the time we got to Rockwall we were all hungry so we stopped at Soul Mans BBQ. After eating the girls went to several girly shops and Mike and I stayed in the car. I took about a 45 minute nap and Mike did a survey of how many customers going into the store came out with purchases. Our two did not make the high end…they came out empty handed.

We finally left Rockwall with a few items…none of which were purchased at Wally World…no we had to travel back to Quinlan for that and so we did.

Spiders everywhere and we hunted them down when it got dark

Oh yes even Sherri went spider hunting and you know how she fells about spiders.

It was getting on close to the time that we were to go on our Halloween hike in the woods to find spider eyes. No we have not lost it…you take a flash light and shine it on the ground and you will find spiders eyes reflect the light and you can see them. We all had our hike and then returned to our respective homes for the night. We had an interesting day and lots of fun. It was not too long after reaching my recliner that I was dreaming about spiders chasing me through the woods…

Oh no. Not the spiders. I know Sherri doesn't like them. Sounds like you had a good time on Halloween. Miss you guys.
