T’was the night before Christmas…
That whole business about not a creature is stirring doesn’t hold up in this house. Gavin and Patty will play dogs gone wild sometime after midnight as they do every night lately.
We don’t have a fireplace so there aren’t any stockings hung by the chimney with care.
It isn’t unusual to hear a clatter outside since we do live in the city. You won’t find me leaping out of bed to see what the matter is. However, I may leap up from my desk.
The only sleighbells ringing will be the ones on the dogs when I take them for a late night walk around the neighborhood.
You all have a Merry and a Happy!
Zombie failure to launch
This is the Zombie that was in the barrel. This is the Zombie that after working very well before the Trick or Treaters came, suddenly failed to launch. Did you ever try to fix a prop while wearing a long wig and gown? DH couldn’t stand long enough to do it. G’s husband B tried to fix it but soon gave up.
They don’t give you schematics to show you how to ‘repair’ him. They don’t tell you if there are any fuses or where they are. ARRRGH!
I’m hoping with some help from a few Halloween enthusiasts we’ll have him popping out of the barrel for next year. So there he is, on the kitchen table, waiting for a little bit of mechanical genious magic to get him working again.
Thank you for your patience

- The graveyard birthday cake

- Little D the birthday girl
We had HORDES of kids come Trick or Treating. They arrived promptly at six and continued to inundate us until after eight. I had no time to grab the camera and get pictures this year.
However, I did get some pictures of the decorations during a lull. Unfortunately, I didn’t get a good one of the Zombie in the barrel. The best laid plans and all that.
After the Trick or Treating finished, Little D’s birthday cake was a great hit and she had a good time. Her mother enjoyed the unusual welcome into the neighborhood.
