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

Teddy is looking good, and you seem to have had a very busy week. Hope your computer is now up and running properly. Happy T Day, Valerie
Oooo, I'm loving your horror movie choices! I can sympathize with your computer issues. It just should not be this hard.
Happy T Tuesday!
You had a fabulous week. And lots of films. I have been lounging in front of the TV also, binge watching Madmen on Netflix. I like Teddy's photo this week. He looks like he belongs there. Hope it was a fantastic T day and you are getting used to that new computer. hugs-Erika
Teddy looks fabulous at the toll booth. I hope no one mistook him for the toll collector (grin).
I feel your pain with the computer. I've had good luck with any computer I've had built, but not good luck with one that came off the shelf (a DELL). My friend Scott built the last one to my specifications. It has three fans to keep the super gaming computer cool. I told him I wanted Linux, and NO WINDOWS anywhere on my computer. The computer has more memory than I could use in a lifetime, and the speed is out of this world. However, I have one of the slowest internet speeds around. Think one step above dial-up. One thing about it. I have over 200 windows open right now and there is NO buffering. I hope you get your mess cleared up soon, so you and Teddy can join us more. At least you had a good weekend with your marathon of movies.
Thanks for sharing adorable Teddy and HIS drink of choice, as well as your computer woes with us for T this Tuesday, dear. BTW, it's still Tuesday in my world since I'm on central time.
I hope Teddy wasn't tempted to drink his choice of beverage this week. he looks well in the photos.
Once again you seem to have been very busy, its not easy getting a new computer running just as we want it to.
Hope you had a happy T day.

Hi Teddy, looking good xXx
Changing computers and moving all your data is no fun, Anne. You have my sympathy.
Happy Halloween and Happy T-day! Eileen xx
I hope your computer problems are soon a thing of the past! You have been watching films while we have been enjoying Taken series! Belated Happy T Day! Chrisx
I hope you get your computer gremlins sorted out soon. Changing computers is a real drag. When I bought this desk top, I asked the technician who was transferring all my data, not to delete my music. Sure enough he left my music file (with not much in it) but deleted my iTunes with all my music. I was very upset, as that has cost me a considerable amount of money over the years. Luckily I had all that music on my iPod, but because the iTunes is deleted I can only play my iPod but not add or delete anything. I now use it in the car on long journeys. But it is so annoying.
Happy belated T-Day,
Lisca
Great photographs from Teddy !! Love to see him during your trips. Gorgeous cards for Halloween too.
I´ve seen some of the movies list, like Annabelle, The others, saw, too scary!
I wish you a very Happy Halloween, and send big hugs,
Caty
I think it will be my turn next for a new laptop. Cute photo of Teddy by the toll booth, and holding your ticket. :) Sorry to be late. Have a great week-end!
