Moon Dog Spot Story

True Story By the Mouth Of Moon Dog Spot!!

While heading home yesterday evening we were driving on Hwy 90
There is no stop places Just 4 lane hwy & swamps on both sides.
Spot rode with G'Maw Dog in her truck-
Big Dog, Juicy, & I were following them.
& G'Paw Dog & Rex was about a hour behind us pulling the G'Dogs camper-
We were about 45 mins from home when his mouth opened & this conversation fell out!!
*Mind you-Spots words don't always come out pronounced correctly!!!*

Spot "Maw I have to poos!"
G'Maw "You'll have to wait we almost home."
Spot "Where's Paw, I can use the troilet in the camper?"
G'Maw "Paw is way in back of us & I can't pull over in the woods!"
Spot "Oh NO Maw-only nanimals make poos in the woods!!!"

i'm back......

I'm very sorry gang
While I was away from home/my computer
where we were located in the woods
I couldn't get back online.
I couldn't post all the wonderfully awesome online deals for black Friday

I was so bummed about that!!!

Now there are several deals still going on though straight through December.
Being with the bad stock market-
companies are seeing that it is best to keep their sales on-going
& not just have them for a day or just the weekend of.

Now there is also Cyber Monday (tomorrow)
I have several deals for that-
also check out my company list on right side of page
There too list deals on-going into December month!

PLUS as promised just a week late-
I have pictures of our trip.

I will be here all night up loading & post
Enjoy the deals that come through-
I still have over 400 eMails to go through FULL of Great Shopping Deals!!

Stay Tuned!!
XOXO

Camping?...

Here we arrived just before 4:00pm Sat. @ Jelly Stone on the Lake, In Miss.As I stated before we were here for the last few hurricanes that hit just 2 months ago.& It is so much nicer now-there is 16 cabins & only 4 are being taken by visitors.there are about 80+ spots for RVs & only 10 maybe are being used. It is really nice-the weather is nice & cool, slight mist at night-& when standing at the top of the ridge looking down into the valley where the RVs can park it looks like a miniature Christmas village!! Very Beautiful !!

We aren't directly on the Lake-we're about 6 yrds away. They have Canadian Geese, Ducks, Poo'Doos (some cajun word for another type of DUCK), & white birds oh well crabs can't think of their names-Not swans, Not Pelicans, well when I think of it I'll come back & let ya know. Also I took some pic today of the Dogs-I'll upload them tomorrow (Monday).

Speaking of Monday It's Grand Mother Dog's Birthday.She will be 55 so I say....But, actually she will be 56-I guess I'll do for her like I do for myself-Get to a certain age & that is it...Not counting any higher!Just there is the date & now hand over the cake!!(of cheesy that rhymed)The dogs & I have a special planned for her & of course I bought her some presents BUT, I'm smart enough NOT to talk about them here just yet-she does read my blah blah blog
We have some friends/family that came up today & will be spending 3 days 2 nights with us.It's another Grammie & her 2 g'sons. Their ages fall between my dogs So, it works out well for play times. They had a blast today & didn't miss a beat in getting into the spirit of winter camping.

This am my father & big dog built a fire. My Mother & the little dogs went in search for perfect fall foliage for my table in my cabin. Ohh talk about some pretty trees & sticks. (pic to come on that as well). Now my clan is all out by the fire while I'm over here in the laundry room cleaning blankets & 2 days of clothes & Yapping to y'all about it all.

When I get back I'm fixing me a little *night cap* & hitting the fire to enjoy the night.
Have a nice night, stay warm.See you on Monday with some GREAT!!! Online Deals to start off your Christmas Shopping!!!

XOXO

Chicken Scratch LLC

NOW most of you know I LOVE cake
I have yet to find a cake I do not like...
ok take that back...

last year our cake was nice & tasted good half in point
beings the cake was over sized & not baked in parts the middle was gooey
BUT it was NOT what I paid for...
I was exact on details for what I want for a cake
esp. If I'm told this is what it will look like & I don't get it....
WELL I'm NOT happy NOR will I ever recommend you to another person again...

I decided to go ahead with a new company in my area called
"Chicken Scratch"

WOWIZA WOW WOW

They nailed it on what I wanted for the cake to look like
& how I wanted it to taste.
I'm most picky about the taste....
It should be smooth & nice hints of flavor.

NOT demanded for milk drinkers....
I do not want the cake to choke me-

There cake was perfect to the MARK

& check out the photos...YES it tasted as sinful as it looks!!
BIG FIVE ***** STARS!!!

BIGGEST THANKS TO Cassie & Brianne
I will highly recommend y'all in the future &
I will use y'all again for my own personal
"cake" gain!!!

the cake was chocolate
the front of the house pliers were in filling flavors.
4 flavors in all

every roof top was rice crispy treats
there was over 5 lbs of chocolate used on the roofs alone-
we ate all 5 lbs of it too over a course of a week & a half.

the little monsters were replicas of our "theme"
I still have them in a zip-lock bag
Brianne did a amazing job sculpting them out of their own recipe of fondant.

the pumpkins were also made that way-
which did taste very good-not over sweet like most recipes.

I'm not sure what the shutters were made from-
but them too were Yummy....we ate them all up!!!

Yes, you can say we hit that haunted house like a HURRICANE
took the roof off first then the shutters....LOL

sry bad louisiana joke...LOL

2 weeks to late

yeah yeah i know I'm LATE but i have finally loaded

up our Halloween party pictures for all of you to view!!!!

as the 22nd is spot's birth date i baked him a frankie chocolate cake.
green icing with mini m&m for the face.
instead of bolts my mother suggested using pieces of french
bread for the bolts instead & it works perfectly...LOL
this cake feed 4 adults 3 children & did not last through the night.

soooo......here we go

1st one-us the Moon Dogs

yes go figure that one out
Spot's birthday party & he did NOT want to dress up.
ahh little male dogs grr

I was adead wife/mother-Rex was a wolf boy,

Big dog was Frankenstein, & Juicy was Dracula

spot was suppose to be the Mummy then he didn't like

that so i ordered last minute a Little Frankie for him

& he turned around last minute to tell me he wasn't wearing that either.
But instead he has the typical lil cajun boys with shirt pants & no shoes
& a very devious smile-

here below is our grave yard-it's spookier at night
plus big dog at this point took down my body bags
that contained a foot with a evil eye & the other was a
hand with figures. all covered in blooood.

Our friends who attended our little gathering

Of course dressed up as well...tks to those who came

celebrate our gathering with us!!!

I had burred 2 skeleton bodies in the dogs rubber much play pit-
the kids were split into groups to find the parts & put old Skelly back together again

each skeleton was marked down 50% off sale at big lots just 3 days before
I paid less then $5.00 for both




Our younger friends dived head first into
our pit of bones-for the apples
they had a blast driving in for the apples...

Apples on sale per bag (8 apples per bag-5lbs bags)
$3.88 each-I bought 4 bags.
2 small pack of bones on the .88c sale items at family dollar store.

next for more halloween party fun....

MEME

I have been tagged with a MEME from Anjie @ Frugal Freelancer
Link to her Blog http://flbyu.blogspot.com

here are a few rules...

MEME: definition:
WIKIPEDIA:A meme (pronounced /miːm/)[1] consists of any idea or behavior that can pass from one person to another by learning or imitation. Examples include thoughts, ideas, theories, gestures, practices, fashions, habits, songs, and dances. Memes propagate themselves and can move through the cultural sociosphere in a manner similar to the contagious behavior of a virus

Speaking Of.....

Holidays-Are you ready for Christmas???

Do you have any of your shopping done with yet??

Did you make a list & check it twice???

I have a list-used to be longer but, IF you are over 18 in my family,
It's time for you to shop for ME instead of me for YOU--

::My mind rant::plus the sad thought that it's all about giving
not receiving BUT, If I go out my way to make your present
special & unique to you-I DO expect the same thing back-
ESPECIALLY after NEARLY 9 somewhat years of me giving
to you & not receiving something unique to me back...
OFF MY LIST YOU GO!!!!


I have over 90% of my shopping list done with.
But, as I was sitting here just last week "checking it twice"
I couldn't find no wheres on my list something of Juicy.
did I skip him or just hadn't found that something special?
Where is his name on my list??
I flipped mad through my pages-
No juicy to be found...

Humm I even asked Big Dog if he knew of anything
I may had bought for juicy that I couldn't remember??
He stood there thoughtless too.
That lead us to the 3 of 4 hiding places.
We dug for what seemed to be hours (30 mins)
& came up with nothing.

OMD we have nothing for our baby boy-
What kind of parent am I??!!
Don't answer that plz....

He doesn't NEED toys-
loves to walk around chewing on a blanket or what-nots
He plays with what ever the other dogs leave laying around
But, then it hits me-His room...
He has furniture that we don't use...
He has his crib that well-keeps him contained for the moment

Maybe that is it-his walls are bare butt...
He has nothing to gaze at when he is in total bliss mode
Maybe that is it-I need to do a make over on his room
Big Dog painted it just in time for his arrival before his birth
& we had new wooden floors installed as well
But everything else is hand-me-downs & antique furniture.
He needs something to make it all POP-

Then the thinking went on to what does juicy like....
Trains, cars, trucks, tractors,
Oh No wait that is the Brother Dogs
humm what does juicy like....
ANIMALS That is it...
We shall try to find something in the Circus Theme
{heck living in this house is like being in the circus}

& the witch hunt goes on...........

bed set
curtain panel
wall decor.
stuffies
blankets
wooden toy things
books (cotton made for chewing baby)
wall art/painting

humm so much can be done-
only have 2 months to complete the look!!!

wish me luck-
when i find the good deals-
I'll post here for you to shop & save as well...

Change Your Clocks

That is right-Day Light Saving Time was Last Night/Early this A.M.

Talk about freaked me out when I woke up at 3 in the bedroom
the time I crawled to the office it was only 2....
thought I was stuck in my own horror movie-

"aren't we finished with halloween?" i thought to my self.
"humm best check the other clocks!!"

The clocks that switch on their own to
the ones I must do myself are about half -n- half here.

Fall Back One Hour on Your Clocks Gang!!

One more down-Two to go....

That is right Halloween is done with
NOW we have two holidays left.

How is it that when it comes to decorating-
WHICH I love to do-
Thanksgiving seems to be the hardest holiday to decorate for
being with the lack of items out there in the stores.

It's like going on a witch hunt-
If I had more resources on Thanksgiving Decorations
I wouldn't mind decorating at the start of the month
right on through.

I remember my mother did it for us as children
Being part Houma Indian family we had the little statues of Indians
around the house along with the Pilgrims & Turkeys.
Back then in School as to what my son has learned now (being not much of nothing)
My mother also made it a point to teach us all about how the
INDIANS helped out the Pilgrims as they came to the New Land.
We had a full educational lesson learned at home as much as we did in school
if not more (Mom did teaching here & there back then).

Every holiday was done with care.
From decorating, to the stories of why we were decorating once again,
to what we cooked & baked,to the foods we got to eat, to the life outside.

Mom always managed to find just enough decorations so the
month would NOT be forgotten.
But, also at that-It is her birthday day Nov. 24th
& a aunt (my father's youngest sister) of mines on the same day
Which sometimes falls on thanksgiving day depending on the year.

As I continue my hunt for those special "almost forgotten holiday"
decorations I hope that I can have enough to remind my children
of what I remember as a child.
