Decided to through this in among the recipes, since it’s theme oriented.

Devilish Decorations:

A slew of simple spooky decorations can set a spirited mood at your Halloween party. In addition to pumpkins and balloons, try these tricks.

With a black marker, draw ghostly eyes and mouths on old white sheets. Drape over the bristle ends of brooms and prop up against walls.

Cut out shapes of bats from black construction paper and suspend them from the ceiling with black thread and tape.

For an eerie glow, replace some of your regular lightbulbs with green or orange bulbs, which can be found at hardware and party supply stores.

Greet guests with spooky sounds from a purchased cassette or compact disc.

Pick up a bag of spider webbing from a party supply store. Place in corners throughout the house and attach black plastic spiders. Also scatter spiders on tables, mantels and counters.

Just passing along some fun ideas for the younger crowd. Those of you with young ones and want to have a spooky Halloween.

1. If walking/cycling is good for your health, the postman would be immortal.
2. A whale swims all day, only eats fish, drinks water and is fat.
3. A rabbit runs and hops and only lives 15 years.
4. A tortoise doesn’t run, barely walks & does nothing..yet lives for 450 years.

And you want me to Exercise!!

Something to give you a smile today……

Just a line to say I’m living

That I’m not among the dead,

Though I am getting more forgetful

And more mixed up in my head.

For sometimes I can’t remember

When I stand at the foot of the stairs,

If I’m going up for something

Or just come down from there.

And before the fridge so often,

My poor mind is filled with doubt,

Have I put the food away, or

Have I come to take it out?

And there’s time when it is dark outside,

With my nightcap on my head

I don’t know if I am retiring

Or just getting out of bed.

So, if it’s my turn to write you,

There’s no need of getting sore,

I may think I have written

And don’t want to be a bore.

So, remember, I do love you,

And I wish that you were here,

But now, it’s nearly mail time,

So I must say “Goodbye, my dear.”

There I stood beside the mail box

With my face so very red,

Instead of mailing you my letter,

I’ve opened it instead!!!

I am seriously considering posting recipes to share with my followers. It seems like a fun thing we can share. Once you register on the site I can set the preferences so that you can share your recipes too. A recipe exchange, what do you think?
