It's Halloween Week!!! :)

It's Halloween Week!!! :)

Yes, it's the best time of year. The colors of the trees around here are at their peak, brilliant yellows, oranges and reds, and the harvest of pumpkins and gourds are bountiful. The weather is cool and they are predicting snow showers on Friday!

My sister and I went to the apple orchard the Saturday before last and picked up fresh apples, an apple pie, and giant cookies. I got peanut butter for the cookie. :)

We went to The Old Mill again and she had a big Caesar salad while I had pot roast, red bliss potatoes, and we shared boneless Buffalo wings for an appetizer. We also shared lemon meringue pie for dessert. Yum! :)

The ducks were gliding along the pond and the mini waterfall was gushing after recent rains. It was beautiful as usual. Ironically, it had been years between visits to this restaurant on my birthday last month, and now it was only a matter of weeks between that visit and this one. Ha, life is funny!

The IonPlus Channel is presenting spooky episodes of Murdoch Mysteries on Halloween from 11:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M. They do spooky very well! :)

Enjoy the week, folks!

Week 7: San Francisco 49ers 33, New England Patriots 6 (2-4) (Sunday, October 25, 2020)

Week 7: San Francisco 49ers 33, New England Patriots 6 (2-4) (Sunday, October 25, 2020)

Well, we've hit rock-bottom. Very few bright spots (J.C. Jackson and Devin McCourty had an interception apiece, and our kicker Nick Folk did his job). Otherwise, ugh. Okay, Jakobi Meyers had a good day as WR, but our offense is still lacking playmakers. Cam is definitely out-of-sync, and our defense can't stop the run. Anything else? Oh, yeah, this is the first time since 2002 that the Patriots have lost three games in a row, and Tom Brady threw 4 touchdowns for Tampa Bay on the way to a 45-20 win over the Raiders. Yeesh!

Last week's excuse was lack of practice for two weeks prior due to COVID shutdowns. This week the Patriots had regular practices. Looks to me like lack of talent is their problem.

Buffalo could wipe the field with the Pats next week in Buffalo. This week, Buffalo won, New England and New York lost, and Miami was on their bye week.

This is Life After Brady:

AFC EAST

Buffalo 5-2

Miami 3-3 (Bye)

NE 2-4

NYJ 0-7
