If you were stupid and waited until the last minute to find a pumpkin...

[Carie]

Where in the NW side (I-10 & Wurzbach area) would you try and find one at this late hour? HEBs are out...

I have a secret answer, although you may think it is a smart ass comment.

[scott]

There was a load at the HEB on DeZevala when I was there a mere 3 hours ago.

[Carie]

I'd appreciate even a smart ass answer at this point.

[angel_luv]

Try Sun Harvest if there is one near you or Whole Foods.

[Carie]

Thanks Angel, Sun Harvest is closed, will call Whole Foods.

[angel_luv]

Good luck.

Steal one from a someone.

[Carie]

Okay fine Markler, not exactly what I was looking for. We want them to intricately carve, not pre-carved. But thanks for the thought.

Whole Foods has what they call Cinderella pumpkins so John is speeding hoping to make it there before they close, keep your fingers crossed! I already have the table and tools set up. Screw the candy, this is fun

[Marklar MM]

The simple solution is to grow punkins in your backyard or in a flower pot.

Was my very serious answer of the HEB on DeZevala not good enough? Seriously, there is a bunch of them right out front.

[Carie]

Oh, I'm sorry Scott, I forgot to respond to you. He had already gone there and they were completely out. Who the bought all the pumpkins in 5 hours? I thought we were the only stupid last minute shoppers.

[scott]

Did he look in the right place? I find it very hard to believe. I walked out of there at 6pm and the covered area (where you exit with your carts one way or go in the other way) and there was a ton. Oh well.

[Sapphire]

There's a pumpkin patch on Tezel, and also one off of Grissom-Heath Road, maybe? Guess it's probably too late for ya now, but there were a ton of them at the Tezel Rd. location earlier today.

Admitedly, finding things in grocery stores isn't his greatest talent. But he actually looked AND asked them and they said they were out. It is certainly possible he was blind and they were wrong.

But I do appreciate the suggestion

[Carie]

Thanks Sapphire, we'll keep that in mind for next year. We spent Sunday watching TV instead of trying to find a pumpkin patch.

[ploto]

Did you try a Super Target or a Walmart?

[Carie]

Regular Target and Wal-Mart because of the time and they were close. As soon as I called and found out Whole Foods had them he raced there and we stopped looking.

I appreciate everyone's help!

[SequSpur]

lol... my wife was out looking for pumpkins this evening also...

[Carie]

Here are the results. Please ignore the crappy quality of the pictures, it's a phone camera because I'm too lazy to upload them to the computer.

John's looks great!



Don't laugh, this is mine so be nice! The pumpkin was white and twice as thick as normal pumpkins so the details don't show up when lit. Anyway, it was my first attempt. Go ahead. Mock me.

So were we, but gave up without ever finding any. I guess we could have carved some squash...

[CharlieMac]

I went to one HEB and quit. I think they might have even had some, but I'm not carving that during Prisonbreak.

[angel_luv]

Prison break=


Carie- Nice job with your pumpkin carving.
