Last Day of October
What a gorgeous last day of October. I walked across one bridge and back across another. Took time to swing on the swings at Smale Park. Perhaps I should have walked across a different bridge so I could look down at the venue for the Clinton rally, but I have a feeling that bridge may have been closed to foot traffic.
This morning my feet are nicely feeling yesterday's walk. I didn't wear my usual walking shoes. I'll wear those today and life will be good.
Not many Trick or Treater's last night. Maybe fifteen. I have a big bag of candy left. Every year I think that this will be the year, that lots of kids will come, that I should be prepared. Every year I am prepared. I bought Nora and Aaron's favorites, which I'll put in the freezer for later snacks. Twix and plain Hershey's. Plus lots of other kinds.
This morning my in-box had a few emails about Christmas bargains. It's November.
We bought the assorted bag of Kit Kats. I handed out a big handful to the two three year old twins who came by. No one else. I separated the dark chocolate ones for myself. the white chocolate for G and was prepared to give away all the milk chocolate to tricksters. G say if I freeze them--he'll eat all the milk chocolate ones.
ReplyDeleteI should have been smart like the next door neighbors. They gave the boys cute little cars. I'll remember next time and just buy the two boys a nice toy each.
I dressed as a skeleton--long men's jumbo tee and leggings painted with bones. I did my face with white paint and black eyeholes. VERY disconcerting to customers having to make eye contact with me. My boss said "you never looked better"
