Goblins in the night
They cause such a fright!
Witches, black cats, grim reapers too…

I just don’t know what to do!
knock! knock! knock!
 They’d already come knocking at my door…
 And here they are back for more?
How can that be?
Are they here to get me?
I peek from behind the curtain…
 Do they see me? I’m not certain.
knock! knock! knock!
I run and hide under my bed…

Cowardly with covered head.

Goblins in the night,

They cause such a fright!

Blood thirsty vampires and scary ghosts…

I don’t know what frightens me most!
knock! knock! knock!
If I open the door, they’ll steal me away…

Mom won’t know …

I’m a high school teacher and am amazed at some of the creative, simple homemade Halloween costumes the students parade throughout the day. I’m told that the younger children don’t dress up in Halloween costumes in school as much as the older students do…it’s the teens that seem to get a bigger kick out of it. Perhaps it’s because it isn’t “cool” to go Trick or Treating when you’re a Teen but dressing in creative, simple Halloween costumes is acceptable during school. Everyone likes a chance to be a little …

Will Michelle Obama’s fashion trends influence our Christmas gift buying this year?
As a young teen in the early 60′s, I remember hearing about the fashion style of First Lady Jackie Kennedy. Jackie was a fashion trend setter, one who even influenced me the Spring before President Kennedy died. I well remember feeling quite grown up in my pale blue suit and pill box hat on Easter Sunday. Pillbox hats were popular because of their simplicity and elegance.  
And now, young girls and women alike have the positive fashion influence of our present First Lady, Michelle Obama.  Wherever she goes, …

Happy Grandparents Day! Our family actually celebrated National Grandparents Day the Sunday of Labor Day weekend instead of the designated first Sunday after Labor Day (US) or the first Sunday in October (Canada). Our family celebrated Grandparents Day with good old fashioned food and fun that Poppy and I enjoyed as young kids, too!
Poppy and I enjoy being with our kids and grandkids, and that’s enough for us. No gift can replace the kisses, hugs, and laughter. These memories are the gifts that we can take with us everywhere and always.
We made our Grandparents Day a good …
