Critters and Happy

Welcome to my November 1st post (what happened to July?) 

I'm posting to 

SATURDAY'S CRITTERS 




Smiling happy Karina in the doggie bed!

 this post includes City Daily Photo and our theme this month is

Happy

"Happiness is not something ready-made. It comes from your own actions."

Dalai Lama


Happy smiling Rusty




I'm incredibly happy to make my grandson's football games.


Beware Happy Halloween photos below! 



My granddaughter Lyra, at her work which they were hosting a Roaring Twenties Murder Mystery. She's a lovely "Roaring Twenties" server!



Yep, I'm a Pig this year!

From Friday night at the Farmington Halloween Walk! 

"Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own." Robert A. Heinlein




Our spot at the Halloween Walk



Woody is Happy!

Happy is as happy does.


Happy girl!


You can tell he's happy!




I got happy licks from this adorable pup!



and after Friday night Halloween arrived right on schedule Saturday.



Lucky (happy) me handing out the candy to the kiddos at my son's house. With me is my granddaughter Karina who doesn't really go trick or treating any more. They have house parties now.



But she used to go door to door! Photo below is her last door to door trick or treating! (You'll never guess how many Targets I went to in order to track this costume down!) This year it's not so popular. 

Dressing up and costume decisions is a major deal you know. I chose the Barnyard Pig for warmth this year. 


I was going to be a witch again, but it's a bit scary for the little ones.



I love being a Mime, but the whiteface is a bit scary for little ones.






I do miss the actual trick or treating walks and seeing all the decorations and lights aglow everywhere.


Trust me every chance I could I've been out and about locating as many as possible.

Being on the water is like my "happy" place so I'm including a few photos from a 3-hour cruise on the mighty Mississippi River. It's been a blissful October. 







"I hope you will go out and let stories, that is life, happen to you, and that you will work with these stories, and water them with your blood and tears and your laughter till they bloom, till you yourself burst into bloom."
