Happy Halloween to you, too, Ellie. May your house be filled with chocolate!
Bah, humbug!
Oops, wrong holiday.
Oh hell!
Bah, humbug y’all!
you too
one can never have too much chocolate!
altho I suppose long gone are the days of going out scouring the neighborhood with sibs and friends returning with a (paper) grocery bag full of candy.
Boo! to you too
” … My dear children, perhaps you will not understand what I am going to say to you, because I often speak in a very muddled way, but still you will remember and some day say yes to my words. You must know that there is nothing higher or stronger or more sound and useful in your later life than some good memory, in particular a memory from childhood days, from the home of your parents. You hear a lot said about the importance of education, but one beautiful, holy, memory kept safe from childhood might be the very best education…” [Alyosha's speech to the boys, Epilogue of 'The Brothers Karamazov'.]
Happy Halloween!
BOO!
Ladies and Gentlemen, Ghouls, Goblins and Freaks.
We are only at 5:21 on the left coast, but Sonny is barbequing on the driveway, waiting for some friends to show up.
There’s a large bowl of candies, bags of pretzels and lots of plastic halloween rings.
It’ll be a little while until it starts, but, we’re ready.
Happy Happy, and it’s so fun to see all of those little princesses.
Boo!
hippo hollow weenie ellie
ellie that’s awesome! What a find. My friend Max is just going to love this!
Ok, I need a reality check and you are just the one to do it.
Let me set the scene:
It’s dark outside and then you hear a knock and a gaggle of laughter at your front door.
So far so good.
Then you go to the door, open it, and are greeted by a herd of miniature ghouls, ghosts, goblins and only heaven knows what else out of a really disturbing nightmare.
And they talk!
And what do they say?
Trick or Treat!
Aside: Every once in a while when I hear that phrase, I drift back into ancient history to pleasant memories of the same phrase uttered except the ‘or’ was replaced by an ‘and’, oh anyway.
So I figure out I will bribe the little monsters-literally-with tooth dissolving edibles so that maybe they will leave and go and badger my neighbor who looks like the missing link without being in a costume.
So, back to the movie on Netflix, but wait: what’s that I hear?
Another knock and gaggle of laughter.
Bah, humbug!
But, I do so love all of my little monsters, honest, or my name isn’t Captain America!
Lovely! Thanks for this, Ellie!
LOL
at least they aren’t at your door demanding trick or drink
Oh, gosh, it’s nearly 6:30 and nary a treater yet.
