Halloween!

It's Halloween,
Finally!
After a raucus weekend of celebration,
THE day is here...
or rather,
THE night!

Pull out a lawn chair around 5:30,
and watch the parade of ghouls go by.
Better yet, treat them to a goodie.
BETTER yet, join the parade!
And don't neglect the far reaches of the park...
I know for a fact there will be some tasty libations on the back row!
***
At 7:30,
 in the pavilion,
 is one last dance to celebrate this scary season. 
A costume contest and good fun is guaranteed!

Rocky NOT Moved & Haunted House Info

THIS JUST IN!
Forget everything about moving
Rocky Show to Tuesday.
Karen says Tuesday is not available...
So...
DRESS WARMLY, But please come to the show tonight-Friday, 7:30, poolside.
************************
FORGET ALL THE UNDERLINED BELOW!
If you've been watching the weather and
 anticipating tonight's cold front,
believe me, so has the cast and crew of
The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Because the event is staged outside,
with a giant TV screen,
stage curtains and scanty costumes (!)
and the audience is exposed to the wind...
It has been decided to postpone until
 Tuesday, November 1st...
same time, 7:30,
same place...pool side.
It will be more comfortable for everyone.
**************
Meanwhile you can look forward to the
Sunday night
Dark:30
Pavilion
It will be Frighteningly Spooky!
Deliciously Creepy!

With surprises that will shock you...
And lots of good, old-fashioned Haunted House Goofiness!
It won't be a mob scene either.
Only one or two victims...errr, I mean guests....will enter at a time.
So show up from when it starts to get dark
 until the bats leave the belfry.
Let the SCREAMING commence!
Extra moaning will be appreciated.

Unless you've been living under a rock
you've probably heard of
Rocky Horror Picture Show.
"A loving couple,
a few lost monsters
 and a sweet transvestite from transsexual Transylvania
 sing and dance through a campy, sloppy salute
 to horror movies and sexual liberation.
Bring your sense of humor."
*
Some of your friends, neighbors, significant others
are appearing in this show.
Not to let the "cat" outa the bag,
here is a teaser of what's in store!!!
They, ALL the cast, have been practising for at least 6 weeks.
Grueling, sweat producing, toe numbing practices...
It's been HOT here, y'all!
You MUST come support them!

Columbia...she's NEVER done anything like this before, but take it from me...she's a natural!
 Whatever that means.

The "happiest" Frank-n-Furter in the park...what a hot dog! 
 Janet #1
Yes, there are two!
And here is #2! 
Magenta...she'll clean your clock, and then some! 
So Many...

You won't regret it!
It'll haunt you, leave you laughing, maybe give you nightmares!
I know I will never forget a certain couple, "doing it" by the pool!

Well, maybe I've said too much?!
You'll just have to see for yourselves.
Toodles.

Country Rodeo

We spent our last Saturday at Saddletramp Ranch out at a country rodeo practising skills like roping and terrorizing cows.
Here is El Jefe...Tommy, the boss.
There was a fire to roast marshmallows and make s'mores.
Yum!
We watched cows.
They watched us...
Some were just stylin'!
Others were just gross!
This is what happens to your best ropin' shirt when you get your arm stuck under the tail of a cow!
Even Tommy went "Yuck!"....
and got Dave to hose him off.
Horses got a big laugh anyway....
Look who is sitting under the awning....
Princess-feather-in-hair.
It was a long dusty day, filled with cow chases and laughs...

It was fun seeing the different skill levels
and watching real horsemen at play.
Finally the guys took a break...
and we chowed down on Catherine's delicious Cajun Bean Soup. 
Ahhh...cowboys, campfires, and beans.
There's a joke in there somewhere!

Step One..Load the Horses.

A bunch of us went to team penning the other night...
1st step, load the horses.
Then drive a few miles on the hilly, curvy back roads of Missouri
to the arena
 where we unload the horses...
Then make friends with said horses...
Walk around awhile to warm up...

Pose for the camera...
Practise the rugged cowboy look...
OOh, Look! Cows, with numbers!
It helps if your horse is good with math!

Big Winner for the night was Tommy,
who treated us all to cokes afterward....except for Jim. 
He had a Polish sausage...what can I say?
It's his heritage.
