The Plot Thickens...

I traded a couple of emails with my neighbors across the street today. They confirmed that we had more trick-or-treaters than usual, and also said that many of them were being carted in from other communities. (Cloverdale, Indy, Mooresville.) I put two and two together and figured out all by myself that Plainfield's having Halloween hours on the 30th instead of the 31st made us a target for those who wanted extra loot. Trick-or-treat on Saturday in Pfield...and in their own communities on Sunday. That's the trick! They got double treats! Hey...I'm no Halloween Scrooge. I didn't mind so much--just needed some plausible explanation for why, after 18 years in this neighborhood, I ran out of sweets!

It was supposed to be 66 degrees today. Certainly, it was sunny, but I don't think the thermometer ever registered as high as 60. They lied! I should have been out raking leaves, but (typical Sunday) I sat on my ample be-hind all day. The perspective is amusing, if you think about it. I sit on my be-hind nearly EVERY day. I just give myself PERMISSION to do it on Sunday!

Ever onward and upward. Looking toward the holidays... Talked to my grandchildren by phone yesterday. Both of them asked when they could come to my house. Guess I should work that out, huh?
