It’s the end of October. I have a hard time believing how
quickly 2016 is passing. Actually, the next week can’t pass quickly enough. Don’t
know about you, but I am so sick of the political ads. I was sick of them
months ago. We, in the U.S., should copy the Canadians. Six weeks of campaigning,
and they’re done. Election time. All those millions of dollars spent on
campaigning could be used to pay down the national debt. Next Tuesday can’t
come soon enough.
Remember to vote. If you don't, you can't complain about the outcome.
How about those Cubs! If my Detroit Tigers or Mom’s St.
Louis Cardinals can’t be in the World Series, then the Cubbies are my choice.
We lived in Chicago for two and half years, so I can claim them. Last night’s
game, #5, had me on the edge of my seat. Some people say watching baseball on
TV is as exciting as watching paint dry. I say they’ve never watched a cliffhanger
like last night’s game. Go, Cubs, go!
Halloween is such a fun holiday. Kids in costumes is my favorite
part. I wonder how many Reys or Kylo Rens we’ll see this year.
I’ve always thought my sister was a little nuts for buying
clothes for her dog. But the costumes people put on their dogs for Halloween
make me laugh.
Here in West Michigan, the weather will be great for Trick
or Treating. A little chilly but no rain. Yay! Hubs and I will sit out in our
driveway with a huge bowl of candy guaranteed to rot kids’ teeth. LOL When my
kids were young, Trick or Treating went on most of the evening. I love living
in small towns where it’s limited to from 6 to 8 pm. We can turn out our porch lights at
8 and enjoy the rest of the evening. Inside.
Have fun tonight, but please watch out for the kiddies. They
won’t be watching out for you.
Thanks for reminding everyone to vote--so important. America's future depends on responsible voting by informed people.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely, Susan. Next Monday, I'll mention it again. So important.
DeleteI hope by next week the agony of the election season is over with no aftershocks. While I'm not a baseball fan I'm excited for the Cubbies. Knew several family members who waited their lifetimes to see them in the series. Love Halloween! But afraid there's too much leftover candy tonight. :/
ReplyDeleteWe have too much leftover candy, too, Lucy. But it was fun to see all the kids in their costumes. But it was getting little cold outside.
