I don't feel quite all the way back yet, but I thought I would share a photo and a few more to come leading up to Halloween. I have missed you!
If anyone has been on the narrow streets in the older section of Annapolis, you will know that there can be traffic that will slow to a crawl, fortunately one-way traffic. I thoroughly enjoy looking at the interesting shops as we ever so slowly drive by, while trying to get out of town. I had fun taking photos here.
I particularly liked the sign and the old bricks showing through the white paint, the Jack O'Lanterns on the steps, and the green and yellow fire hydrant, which I didn't quite get all the way in frame using my cell phone. It felt like I could almost have reached out and touched it, but my mind must have been elsewhere.
I won't be watching any scary movies leading up to Halloween. I am a chicken at heart, with all due respect to the dear chickens. Years ago, when he was young, son begged me to watch a Halloween movie with him, as they were normally forbidden in our place. He got to see a few at his friends' homes. Just that once I gave in but told him we would watch it together and discuss it afterwards, in case he was scared and had any questions, that we were to shut off the TV if it was too scary. That movie totally freaked me out. Well, we watched the whole thing all the way through. He went to bed and slept like a baby. I was awake all night with the lights on and I didn't sleep a wink, maybe the next night too.
Thanks for stopping by everyone. My break didn't take as long as I thought it would and I am looking forward to getting back into the full swing of things. Thanks for any comments left also. It might take me a while to catch up but will be visiting you all. It might be slow, but you'll be seeing my name pop up on your blogs. I am looking forward to seeing what you have all been up to.
I have missed you and am so glad to see a post. Now I am wondering just what this movie was! Yes, the colorful fire hydrant looks really good with the pumpkins. We watched one scary movie this week. We usually never do. Sleepy Hollow with Johnny Depp. Don't watch it! I was sorry we did. But it is an American classic by Washington Irving, so I thought it would be alright. But not Tim Burton's version.
ReplyDeleteAww thank you Ginny :) thanks for the warning on Sleepy Hollow. Mine was one of those haunting movies, and I can’t remember the name of it now, sorry about that. I think it’s a case of selective rejection.
DeleteI like those old brick house. Continue to enjoy your break and autumn, Denise.
ReplyDeleteThank you Angie, I am back now and enjoying catching up :)
DeleteHey Denise, nice to read from you!!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I also like seeing things like that on the houses. I don't watch horror movies either, I don't like them!
I hope you have a good time.Hugs Elke
Greetings Elke and thank you very much. We are of like minds. :) Hugs, Denise
DeleteThe fact that your son watched the whole thing, while you couldn't sleep makes me smile a little bit. Isn't that just how things go?
ReplyDeleteThank you Nicole, it makes me smile too after all these years :) That is very much how things go, I agree.
DeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteGreat photo and memory, I have not watched many scary Halloween movies.
Take care, enjoy your day and have a wonderful week.
Thank you Eileen, much appreciated :) I wish you the same for this week.
DeleteI missed you too. That's funny about your son watching with no problem and it kept you up. Well maybe it wasn't funny to you at the time. I used to like scary movies but I don't anymore.
ReplyDeleteThank you Ann :) I know, it's a story that makes me smile around this time of the year. No, not at the time though, lol!
DeleteLovely to see a post from you Denise and trust that you are doing ok.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen a Halloween movie, have seen horror ones way back and didn't mind them. Not good you didn't sleep after watching one at that time...take care.
That's so sweet of you to say Margaret and perks up my day for sure. Thank you my dear friend :) You take care too.
DeleteI don't mind scary movies, but that is just me. I used to love going through old historic neighborhoods. Now I just see old farms and buildings. Enjoy October.
ReplyDeleteThanks Val, I watch a lot of cops and robbers shows these days, as long as they're not too over-the-top. Happy October to you too :)
DeleteWelcome back, Denise, albeit briefly, perhaps. We will look forward to a full resumption of service!
ReplyDeleteThank you David, I think I'm back for the time being at least. I'll be a bit slow getting caught up though, I think :) Thanks for the nice welcome back.
DeleteWelcome back. I have never been into the horror genre.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much AC. I can't say I have or ever will be into the horror genre :)
DeleteAnnapolis is a nice to town to explore. The 4th grade team used to take our students for a walking history tour there in rain or shine. And we had both experiences.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice memory Marcia. We saw several walking tours when we were there on Saturday. Thanks for sharing that :)
DeleteLife is scary enough without watching generated horror, so I'm with you, Denise.
ReplyDeleteAry true statement there Janice, thank you :)
DeleteWelcome back!
ReplyDeleteThank you Christine and much appreciated :)
DeleteMark doesn't like those films, either. I don't like the slasher movies but good scary movie I do. Welcome back.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sandra, we've all got different tastes in things. Thank you for the welcome back :)
DeleteFun to see those creative jack o lanterns. Hope all is well in your corner. No spooky movies for me but I do like trick or treaters at my door.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ellen, the trick or treaters are always welcome :)
DeleteHello dear Denise, I just turned 69 yesterday and had a birthday celebration on my blog...glad to see you back. I don't like the horror genre, but I love suspense.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful Linda, a very happy 69th birthday!!! :)
DeleteThat's a good photo, I like it :-D
ReplyDeleteThank you Ananka, I really appreciate that :)
DeleteWelcome back. Hope you feel all the way better soon.
ReplyDeleteI do not like horror movies either.
Thank you Sandra, that's very kind of you :) another kindred spirit. I like a adventure movies.
DeleteSo nice to see a post from you!
ReplyDeleteI don't like horror movies, either. But not because I find them scary.. I actually find most of them boring. Why would anyone want to scare themselves? Life is scary enough on its own--lol!
So kind of you to say Rita, thank you very much :) You're right there, lol!
DeleteMe alegra leerte de nuevo. Lindas calabazas. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteMuchas gracias por tus amables palabras de bienvenida. ¡Qué amable eres! :) ¡Te mando un beso!
DeleteI do like this time of year.
ReplyDeleteGlad that you enjoyed your break. There is a large handful of movies that I cannot watch, either. I like the fun spooky ones though, I love Poltergeist. The first one.
