Fall & Halloween Decorations & Swap Update

Here is some picture of my fall and Halloween decorations I have around my house. Think I did a pretty good job with what I had. Sad to think that Halloween will soon be over.

Also wanted to give my blog readers a late update about the OLS Fall/Halloween swap I was in. My swap buddy sent me a $20 Amazon Gift card by email instead of a swap box by mail. Bought me one of the Stephenie Meyer's Twilight books that I've been wanting and a box set of four Tycoon games for my computer. I was kind of hoping for a box of goodies but getting to pick out my gifts was kind of nice too. At least I got what I wanted with the gift card. I think gift cards will be off my swap want/wish list next year. I like them but would really just like a box of stuff for swaps that I'm in. Getting just a gift card is disappointing swap gift and knocks some of the fun out of being in a swap for me after reading about fun things other people got in this swap.

Can't wait to start reading book one of the Twilight series of books. The movie for this book comes out next month and it looks to be good as well.

Have a safe, sweet, and Happy Halloween!!,

43rd Greenup Old Fashion Days

Oct. 1st was the start of a fall festival called Greenup Old Fashion Days in my hometown. It ended yesterday and I had a lot of fun. It was a four day festival but I only got to go the last two days of it. I took some pictures and thought you all might want to see them. One is a picture when I went on the train ride.

Here's a link to the official website of Greenup Old Fashion Days: http://www.greenupoldfashiondays.com/

My Birthday Cake

Want to show you all my cake I got yesterday on my birthday. Not quite the design I requested but good enough. I still liked it. I turned 30 yesterday.

Also wanted to say that the blackbirds seem to be gone now and they may be headed your way...Matt
