I am joining Bleubeard and Elizabeth for this week's
T Stands For challenge found
here.
Before I get to my summation, I want to apologize to everyone for not reciprocating comments etc. this past week. The new computer has taken up much more of my time than I expected. Then my antivirus firewall got disabled, and it took me a few days to figure out how to fix that, during which time I disabled the computer from accessing the Internet.
This is my summation of the past week:
Those are the last in the series of photos of Teddy that I took during our trip to
Boothe Memorial Park
a few weeks ago. (That trip was actually at the end of August.)
I needed a ticket into this week's T-gathering, so here is Teddy with
another magazine image, this time showing a bottle of beer.
(Teddy said to tell Elizabeth, Bleubeard, and CJ that he thinks they're going to like the magazine image he shows everyone in two weeks.)

The weather has been a blur to me, due to the all consuming new computer activities, but I do know here in Connecticut we had very heavy rain Sunday that caused some local roads to flood so badly that they had to be blocked off to vehicle traffic.
I continued to be busy with non-blog related activity this past week, due to the new computer. (Part of the process involves updating the old computer to Windows 10, which means making sure I have everything I need before going forward with the update, etc.)
Most/all of my Halloween artwork postcards were completed before last week, and I simply scheduled the blog posts for them to pop out at 12:01am every day starting last Friday:
Halloween Black Cat Purple Moon,
Halloween Black Cat Skull,
Halloween Haunts,
Halloween Owl Bat Moon, and
Halloween Pumpkins.
I did get time to take some photographs:
Autumn Scenes,
Great Blue Heron,
Ghost Wall and Abandoned Houses,
Waterfall,
Fall Foliage Water Scenes, and
Sabia Tree Farm Red Truck.
And I have a small backlog of photos that I still need to post, including one of
an anomaly at a cemetery. I was hoping to tell everyone about it this week, but because I haven't posted it yet, it will have to wait until next week.
Over the weekend, we watched the following movies:
romance:
Mystic Pizza (1988) (DVD) excellent
(Trivia: Lili Taylor, who played Jojo, played Carolyn Perron in The Conjuring. Matt Damon had a minor role as Steamer. Vincent D'Onofrio, who played Bill, went on to star on Law & Order: Criminal Intent)
horror (weekend marathon):
The Mummy (1932) (DVD) excellent, a classic
(Trivia: Edward Van Sloan, who played Doctor Muller, played Van Helsing in Dracula and Doctor Waldman in Frankenstein.)
Bride of Frankenstein (1935) (DVD) good, a classic
The Wolf Man (1941) (DVD) excellent, a classic
The Uninvited (1944) (DVD) excellent, great ghost story
Night of the Living Dead (1968) (DVD) excellent, a classic
The Amityville Horror (1979) (DVD) very good - scary
Halloween (1978) (DVD) very good - scary
Halloween II (1981) (DVD) okay - all the things not to do, including never turn on lights despite the darkness
Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982) (DVD) okay - unrelated to first two, so name should've been something else
The Watcher in the Woods (1980) (DVD) good, a little scary, interesting plot
The Others (2001) (DVD) very good - scary
The Innkeepers (2011) (DVD) okay, longer than necessary, more funny than scary, and very few actual scary parts (takes place at the
Yankee Pedlar Inn in Torrington, Connecticut)
Annabelle (2014) (DVD) very good - scary
Insidious: Chapter 3 (2015) (DVD) very good - scary
Insidious: The Last Key (2018) (DVD) very good - scary
