I pulled out the Halloween decorations yesterday. Last year I didn’t decorate the house interior at all so I’m doing much better this time around. I also finished my DIY Halloween wreath. I wasn’t able to find black feathers so I used red instead. I like it – but at the same time I don’t. …

Jack O’ Lanterns of the Past
When I was a kid a Jack O’ Lantern had to be carved every year. I believe I helped as soon as I was old enough, but my memory’s a bit fuzzy about that. However, once I got to high school age that tradition kind of took a back seat. God, teenagers are such drags, …
It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year
October is only a few days away and you know what that means, right? Um, well, no, but good try. No, what October means is HALLOWEEN! Since before I could remember I have always loved Halloween. My favorite costume was in 1984. My dad made it. It was a white sheet with the Ghostbusters …

Things I Have Learned
No resolutions this year. I know what needs to be done, I know what I want to do and making a list won’t help me accomplish anything other than making yet another list to add to the plethora of lists I’ve made every year for decades. Plethora. I’ve always liked that word, although I have …
