Happy Halloween, guys, in 2 days! The thought of Halloween nearing used to send me into overdrive. Have the costumes for the kids been finalized? Did we buy enough candy for the trick-or-treaters? Who is going to drive the kids to their parties and who will hold the fort? On and on... Halloween was a lot of work! Now that the kids have grown up, it gets easier. We don't even have to open the door to the trick-or-treaters, courtesy of the pandemic. Last year we laid out packages of candy on a ... continue reading...

Fall is in the air, apple season is on, pumpkin spice is everywhere... to the chagrin of pumpkin-spice haters ? Aaand...you’re finally allowed to put up Halloween decorations! Who am I kidding, my neighbors have put up theirs weeks ago! We have very competitive neighbors, obviously. I sorta want something a little different this year.
