Good Morning Peeps! So it’s Friday and even though my parents have deserted me to do something FUN, I’m in the mood to be sweet about it and let them have some time away from home. Mom’s been putting up with my “different” behavior since I’ve been on my medication (following her around and whining a lot more than usual….hahaha) so she can have a break. I won’t pout…………………..MUCH!
Just a reminder that TODAY is the first day of the special sale on my Mom’s mystery novel “The Mystery of David’s Bridge” for the Kindle version only. It’s only ninety-nine cents to download it until October 8th when it goes back up in price. Bargain? I should think so…….. good book? Of course – my Mom wrote it!!!! Actually a lot of you have read it already but for those who don’t, it’s a “cottage mystery” that takes place in a small town in Virginia (kinda like the town I live in!), and stars a young lady private investigator who takes over her Dad’s business helping the police in this tiny town. The lady has a cat (of course) and she and the cat are best buds (like me and Mom). Mom thought it would be fun to write a book taking place in a tiny town because most people think NOTHING ever happens in small towns but that’s definitely not the case in the small town of David’s Bridge, Virginia. No sireeee……….our hero gets involved in SEVERAL interesting cases and a little bit of romance (of course) along the way. Click on Mom’s book cover and it will take you to her book on Amazon………………we’re not entirely sure what time the “deal” will start but today is the first day for sure!!
Mom and I are working on my Haunted House for Halloween…………..it’s gonna be spooktacular I promise. Remember that the contest will be for the FUNNIEST Halloween costume and it can be something “real” or photoshopped so have fun with getting ready for that……………..I’m going to ask you to send me your photos for the contest by October 29th so I can put a poll together for voting!!! I just can’t WAIT! Sam-O-Ween is such fun – I love sitting in a hidey spot and watching the little kids who come to our door for Trick or Treat……their costumes make me giggle.
Friends the Fall season is really moving in here like crazy……………………our maple trees are really beginning to get that pretty color they’re known for and thanks to my Dad planting a lot of different color maple trees, we have some beautiful color – the leaves have started to fall JUST A LITTLE BIT……………………soon though that noisy leaf machine will be tooting around the yard sucking up the leaves on the back of the lawn tractor.
I hope you all have a fab Friday…………….or even a FAR OUT Friday…………….I think I will – it will be VERY QUIET around here without the noisy humans…….but I can handle that……….I’ll be just dandy!
Hugs, Sammy

Easy I think my Mom and Dad will do TWO pumpkins…….one “normal” one – maybe with a SCARY face this year instead of funny……..and my “Sam Pumpkin” which is a tradition around here! Mom did say she might get a “ghost pumpkin” this year though – they are those white pumpkins – not orange like the ones we usually have. Now THAT might be weird!
