Three Beautiful Things 10-31-2024: Halloween Preparation, Pretend Dread, A Low Key Evening

 1. For Debbie, Halloween is always a trying day (a hell day, actually) at school and so I took on the uncomplicated task of preparing for trick or treaters. Basically, I blasted over to Yoke's, bought some Snickers, Twixts, and Milky Way candy bars all with the word FUN on the wrappers. I also bought replacement bulbs for our front porch light so that our visitors could see their way to the door. 

2. I pretended like I was dreading two things:  youngsters coming to our door and Gibbs scream barking at every trick or treater. I then took the following picture of Copper and projected my pretend feelings on him and posted it on Facebook as if Copper felt the same "dread" I "did". 


It made me happy that a few people found this picture and my dread commentary funny. Others "liked" it or "loved" it. That was fun.

3. I put Gibbs on a leash and that kept him calm. 

No scream barking. 

I'd say about twenty trick or treaters ranging from toddler to high schoolers (and maybe older) came to our newly illuminated porch and door. 

Debbie decompressed at Radio Brewing and missed most of the Halloween action here at home.  

My "dread" was unnecessary. It was a low key Halloween and after about 7:15 no one else came to our door.
