DEBBIE-DABBLE BLOG: November 2025

I am a Victorian Soul, who lives in a small townhouse that was built in the mid 1970's, not a huge Mega Mansion!! I just recently lost my Hubby Joe, who was a Retired Letter Carrier. I worked night shift as an RN on a Hospital based Rehabilitation( Physical Medicine) Unit for 37 years before I had Knee Replacement Surgery and officially Retired in 2019 after 41 years working in Direct Patient Care ... I am so glad that we retired at 62 years of age and got to spend that time together before he passed....I still do love Retirement!!!!

I DABBLE IN A BIT OF THIS AND THAT!!!!

How Did I Do With My October Monthly Goals & Another Tunk & Treat 2025

Welcome to Debbie-Dabble Blog!!

I am so happy you decided to stop by!!

Blogging has always been a stress reliever for me along with an avenue to share my passions which are my home and my garden.....

I feel it is a personal Journal that, hopefully, someday, my Twin Granddaughters will be able to look back on to learn about who I was....

I will be posting 3 times a week on MONDAYS, THURSDAYS and SATURDAYS....

As always, click on each picture if you would like to enlarge it....

Dia de los Muertos!!

This is an Ofrenda created by the employees at the Chancery of the Scranton Diocese in memory of their loved ones who passed , celebrating The Day of the Dead.....

My son Joey took a picture of this in the morning when he placed Joe's picture and emailed the person in charge of it that he did and to place Joe's picture in the proper place.....

He hopes to get a better picture of the Ofrenda with all the candles lit and more pictures of loved ones on Monday...

Such a beautiful and meaningful Holiday....

Today, I am sharing how I did with my Goals for the month of October on my Fall/4th Quarterly Goals and Possibilities List

My Goals are more of a To Do List for each Month and Season of the year....

So let's see how I did with my goals for October.....

Change the front porch and yard over to Halloween decor.......YES!

Cut back all the perennials in the back yard and pull out all the annuals that were planted in pots...YES!!

Pack up the faux flowers from the front porch and back yard....YES!!

Have blood work done prior to yearly check up at the end of the month......YES!

Clean and decorate the upstairs hall for Christmas....YES!!

More on this in my next post.....

Straighten up the Sitting Room... YES!!

And now to the things that I did not get to do....

Pull out the annuals in the pots in the front and replace them with greenery cut from the side of my road...NOPE!

Order bags of mulch to have delivered and mulch the back yard.... NOPE!

Continue raking up the fallen leaves in the back yard and packing away Summer outdoor decor.....NOPE!!

Pack up and tarp all the Summer garden things and furniture against the back of the house in the back by the end of the month....NOPE!

Since I fell over 2 weeks ago, I waited to do all of this outside work until my knees felt a bit better and I was a bit more stable so I am deferring these until November!!

Put up the new shades that I bought last year in the Bedroom.... NOPE!!

I am putting this on hold until the Spring!!

Straighten up my Craft Room....NOPE!

Hope to get to it after Thanksgiving when I am finished decorating the downstairs for Christmas..

Host Get Togethers with friends and family for Fall at my house...NOPE!

I chalk not getting to do this up to my Fall since I looked like a raccoon....

So that is how I did in October....

I do not think I did too badly....

How did you all do with your To Do Lists and Goals in October?????

I hope you will stop by to visit again on MONDAY for my next post!!!

Stay safe, healthy and most of all, HAPPY!!
