Will you be handing out candy for Halloween?
Yes! I love having trick-or-treaters come to the door! Do you buy Halloween candy for yourself? LOL! Technically, no, but I did break into the bag  What are you binge watching right now? We're watching an older series called Burn Notice. Read any good books lately? Not really. I read a lot, but right now, I'm just reading random series on Kindle Unlimited. What are you doing this weekend? Nothing planned yet, but I need to start thinking about Christmas. I know...too early, but our youngest is graduating from college on Dec 16 and we'll have family here for that. So, we're going to do an early family Christmas celebration. It's been 6 years since we've had a family Christmas.

Will you be handing out candy for Halloween? I wish, but in the 17 years I have lived here, I have never had a trick or treater, so no. It bums me because we used to have so much fun handing out candy in PA. My mom would dress as a witch and the candy would be in a cauldron. She would put luminaries up the walkway and play spooky music. Such good memories.
Do you buy Halloween candy for yourself? Not usually, but this year, I did have to buy candy and have snuck some. What are you binge watching right now? A series called The Devil You Know on Prime. I love true crime stuff. Read any good books lately? I just finshed the 33rd prey novel by John Sandford; love me some Davenport and Flowers. I just started the newest Jack Reacher novel. Other than that, I did a whole kindle limited romatic series from Emma Leech, I think that is the correct spelling, and enjoyed it. The writing was fine, but what I really enjoy is the connection between all the stories. It's like catching up with friends. LOL What are you doing this weekend? This is a big weekend for our family; my sister and I are hosting a baby shower for my son and his wife. They wanted a Halloween themed one and we have pulled out all the stops to host a "Witches' Tea." We took a different path than a normal baby shower, so instead of the typical games, we are having them create witches' hats to wear at a photo booth, having a chinese auction, a diaper raffle, two guess how many games and tea type treats. I hope everyone enjoys it because we went all out. The phrase, "more money than brains" has been used a few times. LOL What can I say, I am excited to be a grammy.

Will you be handing out candy for Halloween?
Yes. Although last year we hardly had any ToT'ers! I will definitely be buying less candy to pass out this time. Do you buy Halloween candy for yourself? I usually grab a single bag of the candy corn & pumpkins and a bag of the caramel apple lollipops, but I haven't this year! We are just not that into candy and so I don't feel the need. What are you binge watching right now? My daughter and I were just binging Friends until about 3 weeks ago. We hit season 7 (I think) and fizzled out. Now I'm not really watching anything. I'd much rather read a book or play a game on my phone while listening to ASMR. Read any good books lately? I just finished the most recent book in JK Rowling's Cormoran Strike series.  So good!What are you doing this weekend? We are going to a Hween party at a friend's house on Saturday and on Sunday we will probably do a fall festival somewhere. Not really sure.

Hey fun questions:
Will you be handing out candy for Halloween? We have some candies to give but generally no children come by, Halloween is not a very famous holiday here.  Do you buy Halloween candy for yourself? Hmmm should I tell the truth? Yes I love my Halloween candy!What are you binge watching right now? The kids are on vacation so we watch movies or cartoons every night at the moment!lol! Read any good books lately? Nope but I hope to read a new one soon!  What are you doing this weekend? We are going to visit a castle decorated with Halloween activities. They're forecasting a storm so we'll probably stay home afterwards. And prepare a little Halloween dinner before the official one lol and carving a little pumpkin. We also planned to make a raclette (melted cheese with cold meats and potatoes). We love it here and it's a perfect season!

Acapulco on Apple, Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, SisterWives, and whatever the latest 90Days are out... Read any good books lately? I brain numbing books... so not really any that I would like to admit too, lol. What are you doing this weekend? We have a college visit on Saturday and Sunday is typical youth symphony day.

I'm watching the last season of The Crown so I'm ready for the final season next month. Read any good books lately? I'm not much of a reader but I may get Arnold Schwarzenegger's new book. It sounds good to me. What are you doing this weekend? Good question. I should do some tidying up that I've procrastinated doing.

No, I haven't read a book in years since they give me migraines. What are you doing this weekend?

'Tis now Sunday- but my thoughts...
 Will you be handing out candy for Halloween? Probably not- kids are too big to really care and are usually doing their own thing. Do you buy Halloween candy for yourself? I try NOT to- so I wont eat it all! What are you binge watching right now? nothing really, hubby just binged the entire sons of anarchy show again- so I saw parts of that. We've been so busy this fall that we haven't had much time to devote to watching a show. Read any good books lately? I listened to a few good ones lately- Charm City Rocks by Matthew Norman was fun and The It Girl by Ruth Ware was great. What are you doing this weekend? We were at the State Slowpitch Softball Tournament with my daughter's team. The got 2nd- super close championship game that could've gone either way. They lost 17-18. We got home last night. Today, my son had a hockey game, then hubby & I went on a costco run- and also bought a new tv since our main living room tv quit working after 10 years. So it's been an expensive, busy weekend!

So basically it is an auction of a lot of smaller items instead of one or two big items. Of course the one at the shower was not for money. Everyone got five tickets and had a chance to chose between 13 different Halloween decorative items they could win.

Hubby and I are watching the Bosch series on Prime, we just finished Shelter from Harlen Coben and with our kiddo we are watching the new Goosebumps series on Disney Read any good books lately?
