Just a few thoughts on this chilly Halloween morning… 1. It took me a while to settle on an appropriate outfit for today. For a former Winslow High School cheerleader who bled orange and black for many, many years, I have a surprising lack of orange in my wardrobe. I may have been able to pull it off in a cheering uniform, but let’s face it… it’s really not my color! Thank goodness I live in a hunting home, so there is plenty of blaze orange in the house to get me through an important fashion crisis such as this. 2. I own the world’s most awesome witch’s hat… and I didn’t wear it today. I’m regretting that choice now because I am exhausted, cranky, have a huge headache, and would play the part perfectly!! 3. While I will never regret the hours and hours I spent creating my kids’ costumes over the years, I will be eternally grateful that my days of putting last-minute, finishing touches on an elaborate toucan outfit are behind me. 4. We live in a very rural area, and really only get a handful of trick-or-treaters… hardly worth the effort of answering the door knock that may never even come. So, our strategy this year is to get the Hell out of Dodge and head to town for dinner. If you want your Peppermint Patty and peanut butter cups, you had better show up during the short window of time between 5:30 and 6:00, or you will be out of luck. If you’re really desperate, you can probably track me down at the Pointe Afta. Please bring extra candy to trade. Happy Halloween, Friends!! May your tricks be clever and your treats be sweet.
