Happy Halloween!

On this occasion, I thought I’d tell a couple true stories! When I was a teenager, we had 2 neighbors (yes, only 2…we lived out in the boonies…we all had roughly 15+ acres).

Thinking about Halloween!

I love the holidays! Not that Halloween is technically a holiday, but I love it anyway. I love the smells, the excitement, the decorations, the anticipation.

Gab was a...
