Something about flipping the calendar to November just feels unreal!I couldn't believe it's been ANY of the months it's been being this year, and I sure can't believe it's November. But if you read it on MMC it must be true. Next you'll be telling me it's less than four weeks till Thanksgiving. . .
My daughter, who loves dogs, always has special dog treats and she usually gets more dogs in costume than she does kids.Happy last day in October and Happy Halloween. My favorite thing is seeing children and animals in costume.
The best part, for me, is watching other people enjoy it. Especially when I surprise someone. I can always see the child in an older person when they get an unexpected treat.I made Halloween sugar cookies yesterday to take to neighbors and it definitely got me in the mood for Thanksgiving baking. Cooking for Thanksgiving is so great!
Yup!Up next.....THANKSGIVING!
I so agree. When I took cookies to one friend, she lit up like a Christmas tree and told me frosted sugar cookies are her favorite. Make her day and made mine too. As a single, the only way I bake is when I can share with others. I don't have much of a sweet tooth,The best part, for me, is watching other people enjoy it. Especially when I surprise someone.

I was thinking the same thing when I set mine up. I do have a little lightshow thing that has Halloween pictures, but I need MORE!I set up the inflatable Tom Turkey in the front yard this afternoon. He looks lonely. I "need" more Thanksgiving decorations.
Yes, and there are so many in need this year. I'm going to make a trip to the VA nursing home in early December with lots of cookies and scratch-off lottery tickets. The men love the tickets.One of the ways I try to live my life is with an attitude of gratitude so Thanksgiving feels like coming home to me.
I have such a soft spot for the Vets, especially the Viet Nam-era ones, we never have given them the recognition they deserved. A significant portion of my caseload are vets in recovery--so many of them self-medicate. I bet they really do love those scratch offs.Yes, and there are so many in need this year.
