Rod, Rowena, and The Skeleton Crew are chilled to the bone as Halloween arrives! They’re sharing some rib-tickling fun before heading south for the winter to warm up their bones. 💀🍫🎃

Halloween is tomorrow and it’s the last hurrah for The Skeleton Crew!

They’ve decided to become snowbirds and head to Florida for the winter
as our current temperatures are bone chilling,
especially after our mild fall weather!

The rain and wind make it seem cooler than it actually is.
Rod is bundled up in a scarf, sweater vest and skull cap to keep his head warm. . .

His circulation is not what it used to be, so his feet stay cold. Rowena bought him some new socks she found at T.J. Maxx.

Rowena is bundled up too in a plaid fleece poncho, scarf and gloves.

Rowena’s arthritic finger joints have been a real bone of contention and she could only wiggle her stiff fingers into one of her gloves. After watching her struggle, Rod decided mittens would make a great stocking stuffer for her this Christmas.

To keep their spirits high, Rowena stopped by her favorite haunt—HomeGoods—and unearthed a boo-tiful new skeleton platter. . .

She thought the resemblance was uncanny! 💀

Her new platter is perfect for serving up some bone-afide treats for Halloween!

Happy travels to the skelly family! The platter is boo-tiful! It has become cold quickly! We’ve been in the mountains for a few days and it’s been rainy and now cold! I’m glad to see the Skelly family is dressed warmly. Those socks are adorable! Enjoy your day. Clara❤️
Safe travels to the skeleton crew. It’s always fun when they return for a visit this time of year. Mary, your puns are a delight! My husband was an English teacher. He and a colleague enjoyed seeing who could come up with the best puns. They were a hoot! Happy Halloween 🎃👻
Rod & Rowena have become SNOW BIRDS!!! This entire post was meticulously arranged. In other words, very well done! Took a lot of time to put that all together just for us to enjoy! Thank you and have a fun HALLOWEEN!!! 🎃👻🧛🏻♂️🧟♂️
Mary, what a fun post! Very cleverly written.
Happy Halloween!
Rod and Rowena must be getting old if they are moving to Florida! A fun post for Halloween as always. Here’s a silly joke courtesy of my grocery store cashier: Why didn’t the skeleton go to the party? Because he had no-body to go with!
Such fun. . . . .
I so enjoy your Rowena and Rod stories and pictures! Your creativity knows no bounds!
So cute!!! Love the socks on the bony feet!!! I hope the crew enjoys some warmer weather down south!!! I look forward to seeing them again next year!!!
Our mornings finally have a chill in the air, but the afternoons are still warm and summery. Thanks for sharing your creative display.
I absolutely love your Halloween posts with Rod and Rowena and their family!! So cleverly written as always! Safe travels to the Snowbirds!!
Another clever post with your skeleton crew Mary. Your puns are appreciated as you tell their story. My two sit on our lanai and have breakfast and lunch with us but they just sit there and don’t talk or eat. Very boring if I do say so. Have a great Halloween…I know it is your favorite season and you do it so well. Kari @ Me and My Captain
I love all of your Halloween activities… so fun! HaPpY HaLLowEeN to you and the crew!
I love your display of Rid and Rowena and crew! You always have such a great descriptive way to tell a story!!! You should write books! You’re always inspiring! 💀 👻🎃
Mary, I think Rod and Rowena and pups will love the beach for the winter. I have similar plan as well!! Hope to see them!! We can dig up pirate’s treasure!!
I love their party setting and the treats would be very welcome for any trick or treater!
Happy Halloween!!
Rod and Rowena are the source of bone rattling laughter!
Enjoy Florida…until next year…
Rod, Rowena and the pups are so darn acute. Love the treats. I know they will love the beach. Very creative Mary. I know you had fun with this post. Happy Halloween.
The growing Skeleton crew will be missed until next October, but I hope they enjoy being snowbirds. My feet are feeling like Rod’s right now as our temperatures dipped, too; had to turn on the heat first time to get the chill off. Rowena sure found a perfect platter for serving up treats. Happy Halloween and thank you for the smiles and chuckles. 🎃 💀 🎃
So they are headed to Florida! Good for them. They are all bundled up in the cutest outdoor clothes. It has been a pleasure enjoying all their fun this season.
Stay warm, Mary!
Such rib-tickling fun indeed Mary! What a wonderful send-off for the skeleton crew and I hope they have a wonderful time in sunny Florida. They do look nice and cozy and I love Rod’s new slippers. It is currently 48 degrees here (considered nice for this time of year) so those temps must seem very chilly. Stay warm and happy Halloween!
You lift my spirits.
You are so clever and funny! I love reading your posts and look forward to seeing the adventures of the “family.” Happy Halloween to all!
Mary, I know it is sad to say goodbye to the skelly crew as they venture off to Florida! As always, this is a fun post and I love all the treats. Happy Halloween Mary 🎃
Mary, thank you for lightening my day with joy and laughter! Love your Rod and Rowena Posts.
