What's Happening (10-26-19)

So I'm doing things a tad bit differently this year and will be combining all of my regular weekend posts.  This will enable me to add more content on Fridays and it is just starting to make more sense.  I'll still be linking up with Stacking the Shelves at Tynga's Reviews and Sunday Post at Caffeinated Reviewer.  Both blogs are awesome so make sure you check them out.  

So it's been a fairly good week here at The Farm, but busy.  I accompanied Gpa to a doctor visit Wednesday afternoon and then Friday afternoon Cass had a routine vet appointment.  It kind of made me mad because I made it 2 months in advance so I could go on a Saturday morning and then suddenly this week they needed to change it. Which meant I took him alone, in a truck built for two vs. Mr. Barb SUV.  Oh well, I do love my vet so he's gets a pass - but they might be limited 😊

I put up a few more Halloween decorations last weekend.  I did the other downstairs mantel.  I need to remember to take some pics. I think it's my favorite yet.  My college Alma Mater, Marshall University, won their game Friday evening and it was actually broadcast so I got to watch.  We also watched "Crawl" which was a pretty good, suspenseful alligator movie.  

And in exciting news.  A few weeks back I mentioned a chihuahua down the street that drives Cass mad.  The owner lets him run lose at times, which worries me because big car traffic and tiny dogs don't have the best outcome. He likes to run in our front yard, bark and then run when Cass comes out to see him.  We change his name all the time.  Sometimes he is Rodrigo, sometimes he's Pedro, or maybe Paco.  Well I found out this week his name in Baby!  Please.  He thinks he's vicious and can take on my 112 pound boxer and his name is Baby.  Too funny!

This week's reading has picked up some.  I am actually almost done with Kate Daniels #8 so I'll be reading it this week and then after that "Slash" by Hunter Shea.  I've shown them so much because October has been a reading disaster so I'll skip the photos.  Check out last week's post if you are curious.  

This week in books, I had two Goodreads wins arrive.  I am excited for both but need to the first in the series before tackling "Dead Blow."  Also, "The Lost Causes of Bleak Creek" is a horror novel I featured on Can't Wait Wednesday some time ago so I was thrilled to win a copy.

I also picked up a few holds at my library that came in.  "Pumkinheads" looks like a perfect read for the season. "The Vanished Bride" was actually on the NEW RELEASES shelf so I couldn't resist, and I have heard some decent things about "The Bone Houses."  

And finally, over on Instagram, Cass got to model his Comic Book bandana.  I have to admit this little find is one of my favorites!  We're trying to enjoy the sunny afternoons while we still have them.

So I hope everyone had a wonderful week.  Did you read, watch or do anything fun?
