Hello to everyone! Itsssss meeee.... I'm back! Vacation is over now and it was nice to take a short visit back home to see the family in Alabama. Mother has a new puppy named Cocoa who is just adorable. Eddie and Alan (my brothers) are still working hard as usual. I can't actually say that much went on while we were there. I had all of about 2 hours with each brother because our visit was in the middle of the week so they were working. Mother was getting ready for the cold winter and we noticed that all the stores were getting ready for Halloween. Money with the Internet Well...... the last 2 weeks I haven't had much progress with making money with the Internet. I did take the computer to Mothers house with me but found that the only connection I could get was dial up and in the area I was in....... it was soooooooooo terriblyyyyyyyy slowwwwww! I tried to Auto-Surf but that was a waist because it just wouldn't load. It's just as well though because through my reading of different blogs, not much in the Auto-Surf Industry was going on at all. I found that many sites had closed and most surfers are taking a break from the surfing or at least slowing down with it until the Industry picks back up. I watched the video clip of Jake from "Surfing Authority" and I saw where Todd was no longer doing the site with him. I guess Todd has started his own site now. I noticed also that Jakes wife has started being part of his news and is doing a bit of inspirational stuff as well. I tried to check my website and at least place my sales banners on the pages but that was taking forever to load it too. I had no success at all with any of it so I gave up. Yesterday I had a nice Google check in the mail. I do love it when those checks come in so I have to say that google is still working really well for me for my website. Halloween It's October everyone! I really love the fall season. Did you guys know that October is "National Dessert Month?" Yep it sure is! October and November means its pumpkin time too! hahaha! I really love pumpkin pies and did you know that you can put a layer of marshmallows in the bottom of a pumpkin pie, put the filling on top of the marshmallows and bake it. The marshmallows will come to the top of the pie and make it delishioussss! I always start cooking those pumpkin pies once October hits. Stephen lovessss pumpkin as much as I do so its a hit at our house. Now just so you know...... October is also "National Cookie Month" as well. That's why you always see so many Halloween Cookies at all the specialty shops. And all this time you thought it was just because it was Halloween didn't you. giggle~ No, really.... if you will notice you will find all kinds of special cookies in all the stores that your not able to find at other times of the year and it's all because it's National Cookie Month. I bet you didn't know that! I have a Halloween Section in my website and each year I have to update it and get it ready for a new year. This year I've added 10 new pages that would be fun to read if your interested. Here they are- ---- Scavenger Hunt / Scarecrow / Halloween History / Witch / Ghosts / Spells / Potions / Traditions / Jokes / Safety Tips Stephen has to dress up for Halloween at his work so he is trying to decide what he could be this year. My work does not allow dressing up for Halloween so I don't have to worry about it. This will be the first year that I don't get to dress up. :( how disappointing. Catsville The squirrels are working really hard right now getting ready for winter. They keep running up and down the fence with loads of nuts in their mouth and they are making many many trips of it. The cats are just going crazy watching them. They wish that they could catch one but they are in a fenced in area so they can't reach the fence. The squirrels like to stop near them and squeal. What a tease! ha ha ha! Well that's all for now everyone! Happy National Cookie Month, happy dessets and as always Happy Halloween! Pam
