Almost Halloween

Halloween is just around the corner. Every year the question arises, "What day will the kids be trick or treating"? Saw an article in the paper just today. Supposedly its better or worst to observe Halloween on certain days of the week with parents working, schools in session and church activities going on.

Really?

I don't know about yall, but when I was a kid, Halloween was Halloween. One Day! October 31st. It did not matter what day of the week it fell on. If it fell on a Sunday then us heathens would go after church.
Our church does a "trunk or treat" each Halloween. The grown ups decorate their car trunks with a theme and hand out candy and church tracks. Its a safe place for kids around here to grab candy and a blessing all at the same time.

Go after dark.

That's another thing. Kids come out too early. Wait til its dark! Its more goolish that way and the parents have time to get home from work and get the candy bowls ready.

Those that do not like Halloween will not hand out candy or go out dressed up no matter what day of the week it is so just let those little devilish, candy hungry goblins enjoy Halloween on Halloween.

Meanwhile, I'm going to enjoy a little boo peep in my cocoa.

 

October Beach Weekend

Well as im typing this, I'm on the road heading home. We had a great time at the beach this weekend. It was a nice get away. The campground was recuperating from Hurricane Matthew but it did not effect us.

We did a lot of walking as usual. While I was waiting for my duck friends to gather around for breakfast, I  caught a shot of a spider web with the morning dew glistening off the silk. 

The weather was nice. It was in the high 70's most of the days dipping into the 50's at night. We didnt use our camper heat, but we did plug in the electic heater for the last night as it got a little too cool for my comfort. 

While walking down the beach, I caught a glimps of a fountain on the beach where the tide was washing in. 

I never seen this before. 

 

It also made a loud bubbly sound. Pretty cool huh?

We sat in our chairs a while and watched these fishermen getting drunk and having a good time. It was the only entertainment we had at the hour.

 

One of them was shooting his rod off with a homemade cannon thing.

 

The only mishaps we had was a soft spot in the corner of the roof. We got a crew coming to pick it up next week and repair it before its starts causeing problems. While they have it, they will seal our roof, and windows and get her cleaned up. That put an ouch in the wallet. 

The other problem we incountered was while pulling the slide in, a breaker tripped and caused it to stall before getting all the way in. Since the fuse box was in the back bedroom and the slide was blocking that door way, I had to climb through the underneath storage and up through the back bed enough to get a window open. Then climbed in. Good thing I'm small huh? While these things aggravate my husband, I get laugh out of it and make it a fun experience. Ya know, that rebal feeling you had when you were a teenager?

Now its back to work counting the days until our next trip which will not be until March. We will have a new president by then!!! Hopefully a Mr. President.
