October and the Halloween season kind of sneaked up on me this year. Not sure how, but it did. I’m already behind in pulling out the decorations for the kids to have-at-it. At least I can say this, “I have my wreath on the door!” I could have grabbed one from my storage in the…
Halloween is two weeks away. I used to get overly excited about this particular holiday. We’d take weeks or more transforming our house. Building rooms within rooms. Creating tunnels, cemeteries, and every kind of scare you can conceive. This year things are different. This year I’m finding it difficult to get the decorating buzz humming.…

It is that time of year again when the streets will be filled with miniature ghouls and goblins. If your house suffers the same fate as mine, then they already haunt the halls and stairwells.
