I met some new friends online, Ruby, Kestrel, Raven, and Three-toed Sloth. They came over to meet in person at the end of last week. Kestrel had been out of State on vacation to visit her mom. While she was there her mom pulls this Halloween decoration out of the closet and asks her if she had a use for it. She said she knew exactly who could use it and when they came over to visit she brought it along to give to me. It is the cutest thing, I call it Ladder Guys, I don't know if it has a different name or not. It's four stuffed Halloween characters climbing up a ladder, a ghost, witch, scarecrow and Frankenstein's Monster. I have it hanging in my living room and I absolutely love it!

Today I had just stepped out the door and a friend was driving down the alley. He pulled over quick and asked me if I'd like to buy a box of Halloween stuff from him. He had a small thrift-shop/liquidator type store here in town but went out of business because we are just too small of a town to have a store like that. He's been trying to get rid of all his stuff he had in the store and when he saw me he thought he'd stop to see if I'd like it. As soon as I saw it I asked how much he wanted for it. It didn't have much in it but the stuff was cool. There was a plastic pumpkin bucket and it was filled with those small plastic pumpkin treat containers, there were also more of the treat containers scattered in the box. There ended up being 22 treat containers total. There was also a couple Halloween potholders, a small black cape, two battery operated wall hanging things that make scary noise and say Happy Halloween- one is a pumpkin and the other is a scary lion-looking thing with big fangs, and three sonic controlled mobiles, a bat, a ghost, and a witch. The bat has smaller bats hanging down, the ghost has smaller ghosts

and the witch has black cats. They shake, make noise and the eyes light  up. The store price tag from where he got them was still on the boxes and the price was $10.00 for each mobile. He sold me the whole box full for $3.00

WOOHOO!! It's really starting to look alot like HALLOWEEN around here!
