drove through Thousand Hills State Park and saw the petroglyphs. walked around historic Palmayra. ghost hunt at Gardner House. we only did 2 hours of the 5. we weren't the first to leave. but we were just done. it's a small house. I had some luck with pendulum, Kevin with dowsing rods. someone had a coin thrown at them in kitchen. someone else had activity by girl mannequin in front window. dead bells going off....and the phone apps. I could've sworn the ventriloquist doll moved his head but I probably bumped the rocking chair he was in. a drawer at our hotel kept coming open???? should've done some investigating there.
we ate at Colton's and The Pear Tree. as well as a chain restauraunt where we took a few bites and tossed it. we drove through Lone Elk Park. the leaves were just beautiful. Came home and watched Grizzly Night which has been on my to-do list. carved a pumpkin. switched out spooky hoodies for Christmas ones, ate the last 2 Peeps, and just like that, October is over.
started some Lizzie Borden projects. then ran out to farm to hang the girls new posters and study some spelling words with Zerelda. Kevin and I tagteamed Bisquick Incredibly Easy Cheeseburger Pie for supper. I still have a clown movie to watch. And that grizzly movie. time is getting away from me. I'm re-reading Stephen King Desperation. packing for tomorrow's ghost trip.
called insurance to get Jeep insured. started work on Lizzie Borden House. hooped. walked. had a panic attack and adjusted Walkfit steps down. they bumped me to 15,600 today. wtf. that is too much pressure. entirely too much. fresh sheets on bed. watched another clown movie. hot cocoa with Peeps. and cornbread, beans, and fried potatoes for supper. Kevin got the garage door opener in Jeep programmed.
cleaned up a downed tree in alfalfa field. then test drove and bought the Jeep. changed oil in car, new tires, and aligned. Katie is buying it. Hy-Vee, then back to farm in the dark to put tractor up, showed off the Jeep.
got to watch them get ready for family pictures, then tag along on family pictures and went out to supper with them. Millie read me The Cat In The Hat. I watched the girls play video games. Ian showed me his new knife. This morning, I got to eat breakfast with the girls and hear Coralie play her viola. When I walked in yesterday and saw Coralie, I about burst into tears. She looks just like her mom in 5th grade, down to the outfit. It had been too too long since I'd seen them. The guys loaded up the Barbie house, which is now in my basement and will become The Lizzie Borden House. Then I went back to Ann's moms and loaded up some of the baby shower gifts to take home for them. Then I did some shopping at Target and Dollar Tree, delivered stuff to the farm, and came home. found bank key and went to bank to get title out of lock box. Kevin scheduled a test drive for Jeep tomorrow. I cleaned out car. Katie decided she'll buy it, so we'll put on new tires and get the oil changed. which needed done anyway. after Kevin got home, we went to farm and I
'helped' clean on barn and strap down trailer to go to dump tomorrow a.m.
finished up the Sisters Christmas Stockings. think the sewing machine and I have earned a break. Tracy & Chris to visit. video call from Violet, then calls from Violet and Millie, where I listened to the podcast Millie found, and heard her read a book. full moon and we can hear the coyotes in. the. house. since the windows are open.
I was really rolling, so cut out a Dailey girl stocking. I'm stalled putting it together. the same step that always gets me....and I've made this stocking at least 9 times but I never can remember this step and I ripped it out 4 times tonight before I decided maybe I'm just too fucking tired. made a homemade pizza. I'm a domestic goddess, alright.
