Halloween’s appeal for me is its combination of fantasy, treats and spooky fun.

We all can benefit from a little escape these days wherever

we can find it, so thank you indulging me as

I share one last humerus post and silly fun.

As you might have guessed,

Halloween is Rod and Rowena’s favorite holiday too.

They’re indulging in their favorite tipple and champagne. . .

a glass of Veuve Cliquot in celebration!

Veuve Cliquot was founded in 1772,

250 years ago, and coincidentally, the year Rod was born!

Madame Clicquot was a mutual friend of both Rod and Rowena, and introduced

the pair at a tasting of her vintage champagne in 1810. . .

it was love at first sip!

Rowena says the perfect candy to pair with Veuve Cliquot is candy corn,

which she likes to eat by the handful!

Rod looks like he’s already indulged in a few glasses. . .

he can’t hold his drink like he used to

as it seems to go right through him.

 October is Adopt a Shelter Dog Month and Rod surprised Rowena

with another rescue dog and companion for Bona Lisa.

Meet Bone-ita. . .

The vet at the shelter couldn’t determine her exact age,

only confirming that she was a senior dog.

 to check out the newcomers . . .

she’s hoping Bone-ita and Bona Lisa share!

    Oh, Mary, how I do love Rod and Rowena’s adventures! I prefer Sophie and Lola to B and B as your dogs have some meat on their bones and are such cute balls of fluff. Enjoy YOUR day!

    Mary, I just about spit out my coffee when I read that Rod couldn’t hold his liquor these days, it seems to go right thru him!! 😂 So much Halloween fun, and Sophie sniffing out the pumpkin dog treats is adorable! Cuteness overload, and I love all your clever puns! I know 4 very excited trick or treaters that will be having fun tonight! I’m always so sad to see October go, and I know you will be sad to put Halloween away until next year. Your I heart Halloween pillow is a great find!! On to November…

    Mary, I always enjoy the adventures of Rod and Rowena. And your humorous rhymes are “to die for”. (All puns intended). I know how very much you love Halloween, so have a great one! And thanks again for all the neat prizes I received in your Halloween give away.
    Halloween is such a fun holiday!

  16. October 31, 2022 at 10:17 am

    Mary, you have outdone yourself with Rod, Rowena, Bona Lisa and the new Bone ita. Love your sense of humor. The puns never cease. The flutes are lovely as well as the bubbly. A cute place for the skelly crew to sit and hang out. Happy Halloween.

    Adorable Mary, and I love your puns with your dear ole’ friends. So glad they will have extra company in the closet until they return next year. They lead an exciting life during their one time of the season they visit you. Boat trips, picnics and tables for two make for entertaining your visitors such fun. The excitement here in Florida tonight will be the annual trunk & treat held in our church parking lot that attracts over 700 little kiddos. They seldom go door to door these days; do you have many at your house to visit Rod and Rowena?
    AS Jenna said…on to November!

    You always know JUST how to make Halloween FUN! I am sure Bona Lisa was so happy to have a sibling! Looks like fun for all. Happy Halloween, Mary!!
