What I'm Reading This Week #28
Hello and Happy Friday my beautiful peeps! Well, I guess I'm glad we did the tree last weekend because just as we were getting ready to leave Monday for a nursery field trip, the HOA maintenance dude shows up- no call, no email, just hoping we were home with no real knowledge of what needed to be done. He chatted with the Mr, did a few caulks and took pics to get it submitted for siding replacement. After that we got on the road to go to this big nursery. Am I the only one that sweats off their sunscreen in sheets?? I swear I probably looked like I was having a stroke to passersby. So I bought some powder sunscreen for our faces hoping that will help. I was bummed this one great powder foundation I used years ago isn't around anymore since it had built in spf so I hope this stuff is comparable. Did a lot of stuff in the garden and it cracks me up how such a small space can take up so much of my time when I have chores to do. The Mr's ban...
Yes I really do want to know. I remember when I was excited to finally have a house and eagerly waited for trick or treaters only to end up getting like 3. And as you said we haven't gotten any at all in 20 years.
ReplyDeleteI was just a kid in the 70's, but in my opinion that was the best time for trick or treating, I think parents are to scared in this day and age, just trying to keep their kids safe, but it is nice to see that some people still go all out decorating. My husband and I have lived in our new area for 2 years now, no kids coming to our door or any of the neighbors, all this candy, bad for our diet!
DeleteI haven't had trick or treaters since 2005. It is now trunk or treats at churches or schools. I know parents today don't let their kids do much. I guess they don't trust people. Understandable since there aren't the consequences for bad behaviour there once was.
ReplyDeleteNo trick or treaters here, I noticed when my kids were young, 2004 time frame, people started turning lights off and not decorating back then, people were saying in was a "sin" and were not going to participate anymore. so glad we moved from that area in the south!
