HAPPY HALLOWEEN !

Bewitching wishes to all you 

haunters out there!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's Halloween!  It's Halloween!

The moon is full and bright

And we shall see what can't

be seen on any other night.

Skeletons and ghosts and

ghouls, Grinning goblins 

fighting duels.  Werewolves

rising from their tombs, Witches

on their magic brooms.  

In masks and gown we haunt

the street and knock on doors

for trick or treat.  Tonight we

are the king and queen,

for oh tonight it's Halloween!

Our Halloween party has come 
and gone.  Only 14 people came

and I had food for 30!  Oh well,

we had so much fun putting it

together and enjoying the night,

which by the way was perfect

weather!  A full moon and the

temperature was very mild.

Mike made a fire pit down by

the lake and people went back

and forth.   Jen and Ben, our

sweet young couple, sang and

played the ukulele for us too.

  Aren't they cute?

More to come..............

If you can't get rid of the

skeleton in your closet,

you'd best teach it to dance.

--- George Bernard Shaw

AND THE WINNER IS .......

Mary Brio Rose

from Isabellas Closet !

Mary has won these 2 darling pins

from my first give-away.

But don't worry if you didn't win this 
time as I will be having another
 give-away in November.    :o)

Halloween is coming and 30 followers!

I just happened to pop by and

see I have 30 followers!

Thank you ! 

It took over a year, but now 

it is time to draw the name of

a lucky winner for the 2

darling pins.  

 Please give me this week

to get it together as we are

 working towards transforming

our house for a Halloween party 

on the 27th and as you can see

 I have my usual mess going

 on....and this time it is a big one!

Boxes and boxes of Halloween items.

Plus more items outside.   Life size

tombstones and a coffin that my

dear friend Marie and I made 10

years ago for our last Halloween

party.... actually her husband Steve

made the coffin.  I did have a small

 party last year, but not near as 

elaborate as our party of 2002. 

 I can't believe it was 10 year ago ! 

 I also made a mummy's tomb in

 2002, but we ran out of room in the

 trailer to bring it over to the house.  

I'll use it next year.  I told myself 

last year that I will always try to 

have a Halloween party every year 

from now on and not let 10 years

 (or really 9 years) go by again. 

  Does anyone else have

a Halloween party each year?

My 2 favorite monsters, The Phantom

 of the Opera (silent version) and

 the Creature from the Black Lagoon

(new this year).

A couple of boxes of crows

 and scary bats!

And a mummy for luck !

Inside of us, there's a 

continual autumn. 

 Our leaves fall and

are blown out over

 the water.
