NO BONES ABOUT IT

HALLOWE’EN IS MY FAVOURITE DAY OF THE YEAR. I KNOW. WEIRD. BUT IT IS.

I’M GLAD THAT I DROVE AROUND BEFORE THE SNOW FELL TO TAKE A FEW SHOTS OF THE WEIRD AND WONDERFUL ‘SKELLIES’ AROUND OUR TOWN.

WHEN OUR CHILDREN WERE LITTLE I THINK I CAN HONESTLY CLAIM THAT WE HAD THE BEST DECORATED HOUSE IN OUR NEIGHBOURHOOD. WE WENT ALL OUT WITH THE FULL HOMEMADE GRAVEYARD, GIANT SPIDERS AND COBWEB DRAWING DOWN FROM THE ROOF, FULL SIZE COFFIN, AND SO MUCH MORE.

I THINK MY LOVE OF THE DAY STARTED WHEN I WAS VERY YOUNG BECAUSE I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED WEARING COSTUMES. CANDY WAS FUN BUT NOT THE DRIVER. MY GOAL WAS TO WIN ‘BEST COSTUME’ EVERY YEAR ….AND IF THERE WAS A PARTY I USUALLY DID! IF THERE WASN’T AN EVENT IT DIDN’T MATTER BECAUSE I WOULD DRESS UP TO GIVE OUT CANDY TO THE CHILDREN AT THE DOOR.

THIS IS POSSIBLY WHY I ALSO BECAME AN ACTRESS. LOVE THOSE COSTUMES!!!!

ANYWAY, MY DAUGHTER, EMILY, JUST CALLED AND ASKED ME TO DRESS UP AS “MOIRA ROSE” (FROM SCHITT’S CREEK) AND HER DAD AS “JOHNNY ROSE”. SHE SAYS HALLOWE’EN IS ALSO HER FAVOURITE DAY AND SHE DOESN’T CARE IF IT’S COVID SHE JUST WANTS A PHOTO OF US DRESSED UP LIKE THIS…HA HA HA.

OUR GRANDSONS MIGHT ALSO CARRY THE ‘I LOVE HALLOWE’EN’ GENE . THEY ARE BIG TIME INTO CREATING COSTUMES AND FINDING PUMPKINS TO CARVE THESE DAYS. LOVE MY BOYS!

THIS YEAR WE ARE GOING TO HAVE OUR OWN GIANT SKELLIE HOLDING ONTO OUR BOWL OF TREATS ON THE PORCH. THE TRICK OR TREATERS WILL HAVE TO USE THE HONOUR SYSTEM TO TAKE ONLY ONE BAG OF CHIPS . DANG PANDEMIC.

I THINK IT IS ACTUALLY SUPPOSED TO WARM UP A BIT IN TIME FOR ‘THE BIG DAY’. NO BONES ABOUT IT….I’M ALREADY THINKING ABOUT MY COSTUME.
