Happy November everyone,<br>
<br>
Can you believe it's already November? And while most people are
starting to count the days til Christmas, Novella is counting the days
til the day after Thanksgiving, (you know, that BIGGEST shopping day of
the year.) She's been out walking the track trying to get her time
down so she can beat everyone else to the best bargains.<br>
<br>
Well, all the ghouls and goblins have crawled back into their hiding
places for another year, and the bats have evacuated the Cafeteria,
(except for that big one that I'm going to have to get down with a
ladder). This was really the first year that my daughter hasn't
actually done any trick or treating, but she couldn't quit Halloween
cold turkey. Besides the big family Halloween party we went to, and
the 4H Halloween bash, she decided yesterday that she needed to go over
and hand out candy for my mom. Never mind that Mom is 89, didn't buy
any candy except for a few kids that she knows, and didn't really want
to mess with it. Destiny just decided that she was going to hand out
candy "for Grandma" and her daddy, (a big kid himself), went right
along with it, so we wound up raiding Alco for a massive bag of candy
to hand out. Kids generally learn from experience where to go for the
good stuff and who doesn't hand out candy, so nobody was expecting
anything at Mom's. Poor Destiny only had 6 kids come by, so we still
have a huge amount of candy. I may have to bring some of those yucky
looking Gummy Body Parts here for the students to eat. Or maybe I
should donate them to the science lab to experiment on. (Destiny is
already planning for next year. She's decided that she's going to
dress up, decorate and light candles, etc. Could be a new tradition
being born.)<br>

P. S. Be prepared for frost in the morning. It's supposed to be
cold. Time to find the scraper and buy de-icer!<br>
