This weekend's guests

 
Aunty Jo and Aunty Jess flew from the coasts for a Saturday evening dinner party in SB. On the menu this weekend: curry squash on Friday and ratatouille on Saturday night. They did most of the cooking, of course. I've got great friends!!!!! 

Where's the candy? And Neighbor Advice Question

So I went to the grocery store today expecting there to be great deals on left-over Halloween candy. There was NOTHING. What's the deal????

OK, so the neighbor dog was spotted on our front porch yesterday and the husband saw him take my garden shoe and run off. Now, we have never really MET this neighbor (he lives on the other side of the creek and there is no easy way to get to his house), but we don't particularly LIKE this neighbor because of his music, trashy yard, etc. etc. His dogs are cute young dogs, but they've been coming over on our yard a lot lately. So...what should I do?! Kind of pisses me off that the one took my shoe!!!
