Hello October. Nice to See You.

Hurrah! Hurrah! Autumn has arrived. At least for today. Currently 52 F, high of 65 F. My kind of weather. The afternoon will be spent clearing out the multitude of saplings growing everywhere. Take some advice:  don't move into a softwood woodland. Spare yourself. I plan to make soup for lunch, another thing I like to do. I consider myself the soup goddess. That's my story, anyway.

Yesterday was a good day. Laundry, some puttering and a nice hour or so on the deck with an audiobook. Life felt good.

I used the remainder of the shrimp from Mark's family gathering for dinner last evening. This time was cajun shrimp and rice. I have enough for another meal, but I think we will put that off for a day or two. I think an egg bake will be on the menu tonight.


We intend to watch the debate tonight. Walz has said in the past he is not a good debater, we shall see how it goes. I expect chaos will develop. CBS will not be doing in-real-time fact checking.

That was a lot of shrimp. It's what happens when you're used to cooking for a crowd.
I think I'll catch clips tomorrow of the "debate".

Miss Merry said...

I say I won't watch the debate because I am too nervous. But I am pretty sure I will be biting my nails as I watch it.

Sandra said...

You are probably wise. But I'll watch it anyway. Yes, there was a lot of shrimp!

Sandra said...

Miss, Merry, I don't think it will change anyone's mind. It will likely be a trainwreck, though. Spare your nails!!

Rita said...

I'll be watching, too. Supporting Walz and thinking positive. The more I hear about Vance the crazier he is revealed! He's 2025 to the bone! Awk!

Sandra said...

I think he wrote an introduction or something like that for 2025. When you think it can't get worse, they say....watch us.

Walz saying he is not a good debater has me very worried. Can't bring myself to watch.

Sandra said...

I really don't think it matters. People have made up their minds. If a debate at this point will sway someone over to the dark side, they were probably leaning that way and if they voted would have jumped into the hell hole anyway. Vance will be a lying bully, we know that.

I don't like soup much, my mum use to make great soup according to my siblings who all like soup

Every October this statement from Anne of Green Gables comes to mind, "I am glad I live in a world where there are Octobers."
I think you are also a Goddess of Bread baking/making.
I think the Gov. will do well tonight. I am so weary of lies, hate, bigotry, ignorance and the meanness that is spread every time some people open their mouths.
Take Care,
Kaye

I hope your weather is on the way. It makes me so much more ambitious. We will be watching the debate too. If JD answers the questions holding the same positions he has been putting out there, the audience will see the difference. Walz just needs to be himself. Even tho JD was a debater, Walz has had a ton of experience in the public eye. I think CBS has done fact checking in advance and can throw in some quotes.
