Punkins!

Stella here.

Oh my, it feels SO good t' be done with runnin' around waitin' on folks!

Th' Bait Barrel's just gonna have t' get along without me.

Here's some pictures I took t'other day when me an' Harvey went f'r a drive t' see the sights an' ended up at one o' th' punkin stands up country a ways.

We bought one that looked like President Eisenhower an' it's settin' out on th' front step even as we speak. I chuckle ev'ry time I go by it!

I do love gettin' ready f'r Halloween! Th' grandkids always come by an' show off their costumes a couple o' days before. They're gettin' a mite old f'r goin' out trick-or-treatin' but we load 'em up with homemade donuts an' candy apples so I guess they'll be showin' up again this year, just like always.

Last year, Harvey took out his teeth an' met 'em at th' door with his face all lathered up with shavin' cream an' they about had fits! I never know what that man'll do next!

It reminds me o' th' time he an' a couple o' his buddies greased themselves up with glue or grease or somethin' an' stuck horsehair they'd scraped from a old sofa all over their faces and scared th' bejezus outta th' ladies at th' Tupperware party I was havin'. Now THAT was somethin'!!

(We're STILL using some o' that Tupperware, even though 'twas near forty years ago. That stuff just won't quit!)

I'm bakin' t'day. Got a batch o' bread in th' oven an' th' house smells SOME good, let me tell ya.

I'll send out some more Fall pictures in a day or so.

Love,

Stella
