Good Morning Halloween Friends! It's finally Thursday which as you all know means the weekend is finally in sight. It is truly a unique feeling each week on Wednesday late afternoon / Wednesday evening when you realize that Thursday / the weekend is finally on the way.

Today we are exactly TWO WEEKS until JOL Day #7. And just 15 days until The Bers. Wow. I remember the very first JOL Day that I ever "observed" in August, it was August of 2020 and I remember how magical it felt that night basically counting down the hours until The Bers were back. Those magic JOL Day feelings I have still not lost yet, even as I "worried" earlier this year that they might lose some of their luster by adding additional JOL Days to the calendar. I think I didn't realize how much I really needed them.

My heart is full and happy this morning thinking about where we are in the month, and how close we are to being back to everything that we have missed. Have a great day!
I'm so glad you added more JOL Days. It has been a joy having them in the countdown all year.
 
Over in the Daily Holiday Hangout, I talked about a little known Halloween special and "prequel" to How the Grinch Stole Christmas. The special is titled Halloween is Grinch Night.

Well, there's a YouTube channel that is streaming the entire 1979 broadcast right now as part of an ongoing fundraiser. It even includes the classic commercials and everything:



Like I said in the Hangout, I wouldn't expect Boris Karloff/Thurl Ravenscroft levels of greatness from this special, but it's a very fun pre-Halloween watch.

Thank you for posting this. I watched it the other night and got a good dose of Halloween vibes.

Good Morning Halloween Friends! Finally it is Friday! And the big number on the counts this morning is that we are just TWO WEEKS from being back home in The Bers. Two. Weeks. Let that sink in for a minute.

The counts look skinny this morning and they continue to wither away as we venture farther into August. The arrival of Saturday will put just 30 Days between us and the "official" start of Halloween Season.

Folks, it's code orange now basically everywhere. I still enjoy seeing Halloween stuff in the store, even though we have had it now for a few weeks. It never gets old. Same thing with seeing Christmas things at Hobby Lobby. I enjoy where we are in the year, even from this point, I basically get another two full months to enjoy Halloween merchandise at "full power", and counting Hobby Lobby and other places, probably 3 1/2 months of Christmas stuff.

Have a great day, friends! Happy Friday to all.
 
The next Code Orange thing I gotta look for is my Joffrey's coffee. I need the Not-So-Scary Pumpkin Blend. HomeGoods is running late this year with getting it out there.

Also going to World Market next week, and will pick up their newest coffee while I'm there.

This has nothing really to do with Halloween, but I consider these to be "Halloween coffees," so I am justified in posting about them here. :cool:

Definitely check Marshalls for joffreys. That's where I get mine every year.
 
The corn around my house is just starting to turn, less vibrant green and starting to get yellow/gold. So many good scares in movies come from cornfields! LOL!

Good Morning Halloween Friends! The Final 30 is now here. Just 30 Days until the "official" start of Halloween Season. I know, I have to say "official" start because I have had the electric Jack O Lanterns going and have had Halloween tunes and scary movies going for the past two weeks here. I believe I will complete my outside fall decorations today.

The big number is not only 30 days to Halloween Season, but we are now UNDER two weeks to go until getting back home in The Bers! How amazing! I feel like while there has been some slogs this year, for the most part this year has moved fast, maybe that is from me getting a new job, who knows, but we got to Fall Preseason quickly, and even that seems like it flying away.

It's 56 degrees outside right now, this morning I think we tied a record for coldest temperature in August, and tonight we might get an all time record, it is supposed to get down to 54. This evening will be an excellent time to burn in the "Bers Firepit".

Have a great day, friends! May we all encounter Halloween things on our travels today!
 
Good morning Halloween fans!

Summer is going to get hot again as we get closer to September. This coming week is going to be in the 90s. Luckily the extended forecast is showing back to the lower 80s the following week. I am super ready for Fall temperatures!

We don't have a lot of cornfields around us. But the ones we do have have been losing their green color for the past two weeks. Our next sign of Fall in the fields will be the cotton starting to bloom.

Good Morning Halloween Friends and Happy Sunday! We are now preparing to embark into the FINAL FULL WEEK of August. When we do this again next Sunday, The Bers will be ready to welcome us all back home in just FOUR DAYS.

And what else happens next Sunday? The beginning of the first ever "Special Post Series" over in The Bers thread. Folks, that's a big deal.

In other Halloween news, "Chucky" Season 3 will be debuting on October 4th! I had been wondering the past few months with all that's going on with the actor / writers strike (again) if the show would be coming out this year, and I was glad to see that it is. I was a big fan since season 1.

Have a great Sunday! It's 56 degrees outside and it very easily could be a September morning.
 
Why does Halloween weather seem further away than Halloween? I feel like we will never cool down. I know it's not true, but it sure feels like it sometimes.

I have hit the wall for Summer weather too. This week is in the 90s with Thursday topping out at 102.

Hello Halloween Fans!

You are all talking weather and that is the big news here in Ohio too. We will likely have our hottest week of the summer this week. We will be in the 90s all week with Thursday hitting a nasty 97! I am done, done, done, with the heat!

I did wear my cool Addams Family shirt today in an effort to bring in the Halloween vibe. I am going to listen to Halloween music while I breakdown football film today. It just seems to fit.
