TRICK OR TREAT WEDNESDAY!

BOO!



 HAPPY HALLOWEEN! 

Hope y'all didn't faint with my gorgeous photo!

For A Halloween Greeting.




  


Now I did get a couple of Halloween photos yesterday too!

We were blowing in the wind all day yesterday.


This was downtown Woodstock, GA.  We went to eat Chicago Dogs - anyone know what they are?



Hope you all have a great day! Still praying and thinking about all the devastation of Churriguera Sandy.

"We cannot change our past.
We can not change the fact that people act in a certain way.
We can not change the inevitable.
The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude.

The remarkable thing is, we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day."

Scary and adorable all at the same time:) Love it!

Knitty said...

Had a makeover at the aisle of beauty section of a department store, eh? ;)

I know what Chicago style hotdogs are, but prefer Detroit's coneys. Probably just what we grew up with that makes our preferences, don't you think?

You commented yesterday on feeling behind. Me too. Don't sweat it. We're all in blogland for fun and all is good.

Hugs to you, you creepy ole thing!

The Quintessential Magpie said...

TexWisGirl said...

Paula said...

Actually I think you lo0k kinda cute. I should know what those dogs are, my daughter lived in the suburbs of Chicago for three years but I don't remember what they are but I would assume some type of hot dog.

Susan said...

Love it, love it, love, love, love it all, Sandie! Great post! You look adorable!

The Halloween Greeting was the best!
Oh, so cute!

Chicago dogs? Are they as good as Happy Halloweenies? hee hee hee Susan

Jim said...

Nice picture, Sandie!! ~~ LOL ~~ Happy Halloween.

I am not allowed to eat seeds anymore but other than that my hot dogs are pretty much Chicago style. I do put no fat cheese in them most of the time.
That is when I don't put sauerkraut. My German heritage demands that sometimes.

Have you ever had New York hot dogs? They are the best when bought from a vendor's cart.

The French make the best hot dogs. They use a better grade sausage and put them end-wise into a hot dog length of baguette. Sometimes the are open faced with melted cheese and codiments. Get one take out and walk around on the streets eating. Or order it from a sidewalk cafe and have a beer (or Diet Coke if you'd rather).

Betty said...

I still haven't heard from my sister in law in NJ, but I'm assuming she has no electricity and maybe no phone. At least I don't think she's able to get my messages off her machine. I feel so bad looking at all the pictures of the Jersey Shore. I have lots of memories from there.
