Halloween is almost here

Just so I don't forget....we have three days left on our "boo" coupon. Shop at www.giftsfromadistance.com until October 31st, type in "boo" at checkout and receive a 10% discount on your entire order! Stay tuned for our November coupon! Now on to Halloween. Halloween used to be my favorite holiday. You can dress up in a silly costume. You can visit all of your neighbors. You can carve a pumpkin and put a candle in it. You can see all the little kids in their costumes. You can decorate your front yard and your door or your house. It was a fun holiday! I used to go Trick or Treating for Unicef on Halloween too. That was part of my early training in "giving back". It's never ended. But Halloween is not the same anymore. Parents are afraid to let their kids trick or treat. We have a shopping center near by that sets up a "safe" Halloween for the kids between 3-5pm so, we don't get as many little kids as we used to. I'm not even giving candy this year - I bought little plastic rings so no one needs to be afraid of getting something that will make their child sick. But...people still enjoy Halloween and have or go to Halloween parties and they still dress up and still buy and carve pumpkins. Maybe I am just being nostalgic today.

I'm off to take Jack to Dog's Day Out for a day of pampering by sisters Kelly and Laurie. River is going tomorrow so I can pick him up clean and then we can go to Doggy Boot Camp where we are both learning the fine art of silent commands.

In case I don't get back before November 1st - Have a wonderful and fun Halloween!

Hugs,

Terry
