Happy Halloween



That lil bugger is hanging up on our front door right now and waiting to welcome us home.  We've been on a much-needed vacation in New England.  Before my friend's life got thrown for a loop, we would've been in Savannah, GA today handing out candy from our rental on Jones St which I was kind of excited about doing since we get no trick or treaters.  But with her wedding cancelled,  I knew the potential for humid heat was too great, and that isn't my idea of Fall.  Instead, we've been in the Berkshires and southern Vermont sucking up what fall color was left and doing whatever the heck we want from our Fall bucket lists.

It has been such a trying year for the Mr between the health stuff (more to the point the BS health care system), people's reactions to said health crap, project after project at work, bogged down with tests needed for his job that have deadlines on them and then his derpy wife being all "hey, let's wing it and finish the workout space despite having zero experience except watching Renovation Realities."  He deserved something to look forward to and to finally exhale and I hope that this vacation was that for him.  (Me too!)  We thought last year was terrible with Grandma's passing and all that followed but this year has tried to outdo it which neither of us appreciated.  Pfft.

So, on this holiday that brings back memories of trick or treating, dressing up as your favorite character and childhood innocence, we wish all of you those fuzzy feelings!   Whether you live it through your kids or grandkids, delight at the goblins at your door or turn off your porch light and settle in for a good old school scare fest with Freddy and Jason or little less gory and spend it with Linus and Charlie Brown.

How are you spending this Halloween?

  2. I love Halloween! Even as an adult it's my favorite holiday. I have only good memories of childhood Halloweens. Tonight is the first time the kiddo gets to go without a chaperone. I know by his age I'd been trick or treating on my own for a while, but I'm a little more over-protective than my parents were. I'm glad you had a nice get away, you two certainly deserved it.

  3. Well, instead of handing out candy tonight, we'll be shoveling the six inches of snow we're getting and laying out salt instead. Trick or treating has been cancelled due to the snow and the 17 degree wind chill. It's a winter wonderland out there today, and of course, it's the busiest driving day for me for work. So not happy, but gotta accept it.

  4. I'll be handing out the treats while my BF takes his son around trick-or-treating. The amount of kids I get each year varies, from 0 two years ago to about 25 last year. This year has been a little off for us. I normally love carving pumpkins in advance of the holiday, but not this year. We have the pumpkins, but no time or motivation to carve them. At least without carving them, they can add to the fall décor for a little longer.
