I went back to Spirit Halloween today.  This time I took G and my new neighbor R along with me.  This was R’s first time in a Spirit Halloween.  She was glad we’d gone during school hours and she had a chance to scope out the place without her young daughter.  Now that she knows how to find the store, she’ll go back and take her daughter along.

     At one point, we all trooped into one room to check out some animated props.  There was a clerk in there, R was right behind me and didn’t see him at first.  When he said hello I thought she was going to have a heart attack.  She jumped, she screamed, and then she laughed.  The rest of the time while we were in the store every time he saw her he apologized…again.

     I bought a large animated prop.  I couldn’t resist it.  I now have a cloth barrel that has a ghoulish zombie rise from it with eyes flashing, and jaw moving moans.  Both of my friends watched me spend the money.  They were entertained.  True, it is more fun to watch someone else spend money.
