    Halloween is one of my favorite days as well, love seeing the kiddos in their costumes and hear the excitement in their voices when they come to the door!

    That's a unique way to have a Halloween dill, brings the neighborhood closer together I bet. Do you know if they still do that?

    Quitting and staying quit isn't easy, its learning a whole new way of thinking. It's accepting a new way of life, and not just accepting it, embracing it...
    Worry about tomorrow, tomorrow. Just get through today. Tomorrow will look after itself when it becomes today, because today is all we have to think about.
    Friendship is not about how many friends you have or who you've known the longest. It's about who walked into your life, said "I'm here for you", and proved it.

      I tried a few times to log on yesterday but couldn't, then my day got going and never stopped. Lol

      Rava, thanks for explaining and i hope your trip went well. We head out tomorrow and im dreading the days on the road.

      Doc said he's happy with my progress and range of motion. He's hoping I continue to improve and never need a new knee. I sure hope he's right!

      Busy day today, I'll take another day of freedom!

        Good afternoon Cafe. Late check in. We are back in Florida and this morning I got up and voted and then went grocery shopping, tending the garden, ETC and the day has gotten away from me. Hope everyone has a great halloween! We dont get kids here so I have no candy. That is probably better for me. LOL. 24 more. Safe travels Ginger. I know you are dreading that drive from hell!

          Wow, I hadn't realized I haven't posted in almost a week....

          Walking around different neighborhoods it's always fun seeing the different houses and yards decked out for halloween (some really go all out). No trick-or-treaters here as I'm in an apartment, but we might check out the Lost Souls Parade tomorrow with some friends and their kids, so that should give a good halloween experience. I just hope the darn fireworks don't go all night toinght.

          Anyways, have fun everyone, happy halloween!

            Dill, I also have great memories of Halloween when I was young. My parents would send my younger sister and I out with our older siblings, who were supposed to be watching us. They quickly ditched my sister and I, which didn't bother us in the least. We didn't have fancy buckets or bags to gather our loot; we always used an old pillow case, which holds a lot of candy! We had 3 trick or treaters last night, only because they live across the street.

            Sounds like you had a busy day yesterday, but I bet that it's good to be home!

            Safe travels today Ginger! Good news about the knee!

            Hi Mul!

            Looking forward to another 24 hours of serenity...

              Thanks for that festive Halloween decoration in the Cafe, Cowboy! I can't imagine that they wouldn't still be doing Halloween that way, but I haven't been back there on Halloween since we moved. And as we all know, many things gave way during the Covid madness.

              Mul, glad you stopped in. It's been a while!

              Wow Ginger! That's great news about your knee. Let's hope the trend continues. Keep doing whatever it is you are doing. Do you attribute it to giving it rest for the most part? Hoping your travels go well and the travel time passes quickly.

              24 more for all of us here, please and thank you.

              Dont forget, you can: start late, start over, be unsure, try and fail AND STILL SUCCEED!

              If it is important to you, you will find a way. If not, you will find an excuse.

                Cross post, Jude. Thanks for the walk down Trick or Treat memory lane. The pillow case was a smart plan. I always knew you were a smart cookie!

                    Good to hear you got there safe and sound Rava, now you can up with what's been happening with your Florida friends.

                    That's great news about your knee Ginger, maybe still take it easy on it for a bit longer till it's improved even more. Hape a safe trip to your winter home.

                    Our oldest daughter sent us some pics of some of the houses with their Halloween decorations Mulburry, and you're right, some people really go all out.

                    My brothers and I used pillow cases as well Jude lol. My older brother and I took out the two younger brothers for about an hours or so then got them back home. We'd empty out what candy we had then head back out for more. My mom would then put all the candy together and divide it equally among the four of us which we all thought was okay.

                    We had 34 kiddos last night and had bought enough treats for around 50 so my sweet tooth will be happy for a few days lol.

                      Lots of good Halloween memories here. I grew up in the country and I too would use a pillow case. We had to walk and some of the houses were at least a quarter mile apart. At least we wore off some of the sugar high before we made it back home. Mom had no candy rules. When it was gone it was gone. My binging started early!

                      Glad to see you Mul. Hi to all my pals. All goes well, we should be in AZ by Monday. I'll take another day!

                        In the last couple of days I've seen both a giant 6 foot tall skeleton and a grim reaper, amongst all kinds of other very intricate displays. I didn't take any pictures though, I just feel weird taking pictures of other people's private residences.

                        My fondest memories of halloween as a child (well teenager more like) are roaming around town letting off fire works all over the place, haha! Now I'm practically the grouchy old codger, saying "stop all that darn racket with your firecrackers you darn kids!" haha.
