Yes Wildflowers it is getting close, HaLLoWeEn, it will be here in 91 days. Whoop, Whoop!
So, I want to start my Halloween Swap now which gives us all plenty of time to prepare hee, hee! 1 partner each. You may send anything you wish to your partner as well as a favorite recipe for the season.
Sign ups start August 1 and will close Sept 30th and I will post partners on Oct. 1st.
And I want to have a Halloween Give Away, but for this one I will pick 1 set of partners. So, I will send fun goodies to each partner.
I was wondering if you would like to share 1 thing about Halloween that you as a child did not like and maybe still do not!
So I will start, I dislike very much Haunted Houses and have since I was about 12 years old. Not because I am scared of them. I went to one in our neighborhood and for some reason the folks who had the haunted house and their helpers could not keep their hands to themselves. Why is that? So it has been 58 years since I have been to one. And I will say I really miss them as they are part of the Halloween experience. But, I do not like being touched. Now we have a Raceway here and they do a car show on Halloween and they have Haunted Woods that you can walk through. And they have rules, the 1st rule is no touching by staff or patrons. So maybe I might enjoy that one if Tom or Kent took me. I will let you know if I go.
Who’s next?

Count me in on the swap Debbie.
I agree with you about Haunted Houses. I had a bad experience as a pre-teen. A big group of friends decided to go to one in Charlotte, that was in an abandoned Victorian house. It was a perfect setting, and decorated so good. It was sponsored by a charity group to raise money. The characters didn’t touch, but would jump out at you unexpectedly. Well we were at a standstill on a flight of stairs, and I was halfway up. Wouldn’t you know, they had cut out a door in the wall and a goblin opened and yelled right beside me! I was caught totally off guard, screamed and jumped back, which caused a domino effect. A pile of teenagers fell down the steps. They had to stop and turn on all the lights so we could untangle ourselves and find our purses and belongings. Talk about embarrassing, that did it for me!! |

That is really a funny story Wanda Sue. But, you girls could have been hurt. I do not like it either when they jump out at you and scare the heck out of you.
Don’t you just love remembering things from our youth? Too fun! |

Hmm, jump-scare and grabby haunted houses would be a pass for me as well. Growing up in Minnesota, I remember the trickiest thing being finding a good yet cozy trick-or-treat costume. The ones sized for teen girls/adults were often skimpy and my teeth would be chattering wading through early snow. |

I'm going to wait until it gets closer to decide on the swap.
We didn't do much for Halloween besides dressing up and trick or treating so I don't have anything that really scared me or I didn't like. I do remember when I was little that I hated the way my parents made us (me and my 3 siblings) put all our candy together and then we had take turns picking a piece or 2 to eat. I didn't always get the "good candy" that was in my bag, LOL! |
