MercyA Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 My formerly Amish MIL had her sibling reunion this weekend. Seven of her eight siblings and most of their spouses are still with us, yay! We had dinner with them tonight. The siblings always sing when they are together again. In Swiss. With yodeling. I wonder what the neighbors would have thought if the windows were open. :) What fun or unusual thing did you see this week? 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a long time I heard a good yodel. I attended a murder mystery party. Lots of guests and actors dressed up and having fun. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Did you have to go around and solve the murder with a few clues? I saw a mouse balance on the utility wire. Have seen it before but it is funny every time - to me at least. :) Edited October 23, 2017 by Liz CA 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each group had a couple of clues and money to spend to bribe other groups for their clues. New information was given on occasion by professional actors. My group won with the correct guess and most complete explanation of the motive, means and opportunity. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomeAgain Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I saw the most amazing mall ever. And now that I write that it sounds stupid. :lol: But you just don't understand. It's been a long time since we lived near a mall, at least anything substantial. And this one was the product of a wrong turn, going left off the highway instead of right. It was massive! And instead of department stores cluttering up most of the real estate, there were a TON of different activities: laser tag go carts bounce house trampoline bounce kids open play and so on and so on. They looked like they had taken over the larger store blocks. All run by different companies, and there were still stores mixed in. Winter gets wicked cold here so we grabbed a bunch of brochures for ideas of things to do in December and January. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnM Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 (edited) Um, there was a mouse in my office.....does that count? In fact, I set a trap Fri and am terrified to go in there today. I am sure it will stink. ETA; yup, it was dead this am, but no stinking. It had eating over half the PB on the trap and died next to the trap with mouse blood on the floor, so I think it snapped the trap and wasn't quite dead and wriggled out of the trap and died next to it. I had one of the male teachers clean it up. How wimpy am I? Edited October 23, 2017 by DawnM 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creekland Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 We flew around a quarter of the planet including Saudi Arabia, Iran, Turkey, a bit of Europe, Iceland, Greenland, Newfoundland, and down into familiar (but not always seen from the skies) territory of my upbringing. It was a LOT of fun - esp the parts I hadn't seen yet. We didn't hear yodeling though. Should have opened the windows over the mountains I guess. :lol: 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrincessMommy Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I went camping on Assateague Island. I saw wild horses. Oh, I haven't been there in years! They're always a bit more aggressive by the end of the summer. How were they? Hope they didn't steal your food. :laugh: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachel Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I saw bear scat while hiking, no bear though I was quite jumpy after that. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope they didn't steal your food. :laugh: They weren't aggressive at all. One time they ran past the campsite. Other than that we only saw them near the road. We were on the ocean side and found out later that they prefer the bay side except in summer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheReader Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 We went to a concert of sorts this weekend; our boys follow some YouTube stars who are currently on tour promoting their new book, and we managed to get tickets to a not-too-far away venue (they didn't come to our town). It was the wackiest, funniest, most enjoyable thing we've been to in a very long time. Part monologue/story telling, part singing, fully hilarious, and just a good time all around. (it was Rhett & Link's Tour of Mythicality, for anyone who's going to ask me what it was....) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TravelingChris Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 My dd and I had a great time at the Huntsville L.I.T. block party/festival. There were very cool light displays, djs, fire juggler, commmunity board games, etc, etc. Also went to Astronomy Day, A Halloween based Dysautonomia Fundraiser benefit at a local cool brewery in an old school, a Huntsville Symphony Orchestra the night before, and went to see Blade Runner 2049 with dh yesterday afternoon. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Florida. Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Our new kitten (one year old) has been doing what we call Halloween cat. That's when a cat hunches their back like the cats you see in Halloween decorations. She does the Halloween cat pose, then scoots, sideways, down hall in that pose. It cracks us up every time we see it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Florida. Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I went camping on Assateague Island. I saw wild horses. I would love that! I've seen them on Cumberland Island, GA when dh and I camped their years ago (we were still dating). They're not as famous as the Assateague horses, but still an amazing sight. https://www.nps.gov/cuis/learn/nature/feral-horses.htm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
