What I Learned from Halloween 2009

Just a few random things before we close out of this wonderful month.

• When making torches, don't use socks, sticks and lighter fluid. The socks fall apart.

And make sure you read the signs around before making them.

• My local grocery store gives away all the unsold pumpkins on Halloween night. All you want! And they sell a dozen glazed donuts for $5.00 because they seem to be a hot commodity. Lesson... donuts are better to buy before hand. Pumpkins... buy a ton the day of and have a carving fest. That is something I should keep in mind for next year.

• The cold really isn't that bad. Gardner Village the day before Halloween is very crowded, but fun. The witches are so unique, and Keith didn't want to leave. Next year we will go earlier in the month and later in the evening. Simply delightful!

Happy Halloween!
