Ghost in the Garbage

What a surprise it was to find a little white ghostie staring up at me as I walked past a doorway.

Who's haunting me?

Look how funny! Someone took their makeup off and made a ghost without even trying to! Or could it be the ghost of a lady who used to wear makeup?

Hmmm. 

Do you believe in ghosts?

Killer Jack O Lantern!

When Carolyn and I went to the mall, we found a giant Jack O Lantern with SHARP TEETH and a BIG MOUTH! Carolyn barely escaped with her life!

 Then I fended off the sharp teeth bearing down on me, since I was not willing to become Shirley Pie with whipped cream on top without putting up a fight!

Brave Carolyn even managed to say "Boo" to the ghost, instead of having the ghost scare her with a spooky "Boooo!"

What's your scare factor? Do you get scared, or are you the one doing the scaring?

What A Mess!

I saw this, um, decoration? (Is that what it is?) in a high end model home.

I have one question.

Why?

For one thing, who'd want to portray wasting perfectly good ice cream?

For another thing, wouldn't this foster neglect in cleaning up spills? "It's just for decoration anyway...leave the vomit where it is."

Do YOU like this home decoration?

Am I the clueless one about avant garde decor here?

HiGH WaTer!

Carolyn Gets Back To Where She Started From!

Carolyn was thrilled to return to New Jersey, where she was born. The look on her face when she caught sight of the Atlantic Ocean by Sea Isle City, New Jersey, was priceless!

She could hardly wait to get in the water.

She said she wanted to buy a house and live there.

She simply loved the ocean, which was pleasantly warm.

We were so in tune with the ocean scene that we even matched the beach umbrellas!

Carolyn found some beautiful pebbles and shells to keep, and was in awe when she spied a seagull.

We three sisters (Rebecca McGarry, Shirley Bahlmann, and Carolyn Anderson) all loved getting our feet wet, but there was nothing to eat there...well, nothing that we wanted to eat.

So we went to Mike's Fish Market.

Hey, we were there on free mussel Monday...how could we say no to THAT?

Carolyn looks like she wasn't thrilled about the free mussels...she only ate one. (Maybe that's why.)

Carolyn enjoyed her chicken. (Yes, it counts as sea food. You must have heard of "chicken of the sea!")

We had the BEST table in the whole place, with water on two sides of our table. We were practically floating!

Even the bathrooms were amusing...if you didn't pay attention to the hurricane warning.

Carolyn also enjoyed a big, soft pretzel.

She was also certain that because she was born in New Jersey, everyone there knew who she was, no introduction necessary!

(She made lots of new friends.)

Have you been to New Jersey?

Have you been to the ocean?

(Do you WANT to go to either place?)

Simple, Sweet Sentiment

Sometimes it doesn't take a lot of words to get your point across.

I found this wise saying in a T-shirt in a thrift store. 

(If only I'd known this when I was in high school, I could have aced all my tests!)

Are you a cookie lover?

Or do you like cake better?

Or pie?

What's your pastry weakness?

Lemon? Banana? Spaghetti Squash?

I found some pretty fancy footwear in the thrift store. It was so fancy, I couldn't tell what it was.

 Are these supposed to be lemons? Bananas? Spaghetti Squashes? (Is there some yellow thing I'm missing? Maybe they're magic wish slippers.)

Do you wear slippers? 

Would you wear these?
