Buy me time...

Yep! That's what I need is a large case of unlawful dishonesty!
You are all saying to yourselves right now, what is she crazy?
Nope; not at all.
John Coey an in state convicted child murderer died in the hospital after forty-one days of being cared for in there, total cost to us tax payers, $231,000 plus.
Did you know that it’s not just elected officials that have medical coverage for free or nearly for free, so do all those prisoners on death row!
What’s wrong with this picture?
Perhaps it would be better judgment on my part to run for a political office? Only kidding, really!

New topic: I forgot to welcome all of you yesterday to October, so sorry, this is a month that I used to enjoy tremendously. Halloween is at the end of this month of the harvest moon month, and so is daylight savings time, so don’t forget to fall back!

When our boys were young… how I so enjoyed making their costumes and getting all those sweet treats for the children who would knock on the door come Old Hollow’s Eve; how those days went by so swiftly. You, young Moms out there please remember it’s all just a blip in time when those kiddies drive you up the wall occasionally. Have fun with it all, for alas it too will be gone way too soon!

But unfortunately, the boys are well grown and on their own far away from here, and over these last several years with my enormous weight gain, and dog’s that have barked at anyone that came to the door the whole idea of the holiday makes me only dream of an easier time gone by.
I did have Hubby bring in a few of our decorations which one is a Happy Halloween sign of wood, quite cheerful and it hangs on the front door. The other decorations are artificial pumpkins and gourds that sit on our hallway table for display. I have a few weeks to come to terms with whether or not I will put any candy out. I made a sign for a few years ago that was a little poem asking the children to have fun and take just one, and taped it to the front door with a chair used to hold the large plastic pumpkin full of the goodies.
But one year a rather difficult child stole most all of it, and all the previous years it had gone off without any problems what-so-ever, and there were several very good years!
So the last two or so we have not done anything for the day/evening of trick or treat.
But that child is long gone and perhaps we could or should try again.
I really hate being jaded about anything!
We will see…

I did find myself once again in our pool at a chilly 83 degrees due to the overnight cooling down, it did go up eventually to 84 with the solar panels on, but we have ordered a solar blanket today from one of those discount stores online, and it gets free delivery to their store, oh joy! Maybe the water will stay a little bit warmer? We had it up north on that pool… and so we will see what happens with this too…

Good night to all and to all take care, be safe, and count those blessings, and I will keep looking I think I am getting warmer!

Which way will the war go?
