RN It stopped at 23.
The neighbors to the south of me are having a front yard Halloween shindig! I wish I knew them.

RN tonight was a bust. Perfect weather by any definition and only 15 kids. A couple of toddler aged cuties before sunset and then a few groups of two or three after that. Our cul de sac that used to set up a joint table with all sorts of goodies and almost a party atmosphere was shut down and dark by 8:30PM. We are thinking we might stay dark next year and not participate at all. Sad. 😟

Since I am back home this year, I won't open the door.. I refuse to take Halloween from my black cat by locking her in a bedroom.
But I bought some individual bags of pretzels.. Gluten free .. And gave them to my neighbor who has 2 kids and a mellow dog. They belong to an accepting church and she supports the LGBTQ kids there. I gave her some really cool shirts that she handed out to young people to wear for the Pride parade.
She told me about all this after she saw my car with certain bumper magnets.
So I gave them the 20 packets of pretzels.
No one rang or knocked after I got home from voting and the grocery but there were definitely kids. I do think it lightly rained.
Naja did your visitors like your decorations?

RN oh yes, they were a hit! The line I heard most was "that's so creepy!"

I voted this morning, as I was leaving I saw they had a voting table for little kids. I believe it was 3 questions and 2 options. 1 was voting between waffles and pancakes.
I thought it was sweet and charming, when I worked elections before going back to work, we didn't have that.
I would much rather be bombarded with commercials for pancakes and waffles than the increasingly nasty and inaccurate bile of political candidates. Living in border states makes it twice as awful.

Sugar, I love that idea of the kids voting for waffles vs pancakes. Very original.

RN Well, I thought I was being smart and changed the 4 clocks that needed it before I went to bed. I got up at what I thought was 7:30 AM and I wondered why it was so dark outside. I looked at my phone and it was 5:30 AM. I set my clocks forward instead of back. hahaha!

Hahahahahahaha, Naja that is so funny. My phone changed but for some reason my new smart watch didn't. Took me a few minutes to get it to figure out the time change.

Maybe try leaving a long line on her that you can pick up to guide her in?

RN I'll probably do that at night since she's here for 6 more nights. I do have a nice long line now that I do daycare for the fence jumper.

RN: Holy Cow!
I was leaving to go to work and it was starting to rain. I texted my boss if he was opening late because of the rain. He texted back that I had the day off because its nasty out there.
5 minutes later and we are having the worst thunderstorm I have ever seen since I moved back from Miami. The thunder is rattling the new windows when its exploding. And the house is almost pitch black without the lights on.
Good thing I texted because he never would have contacted me and I would have been standing out in the rain by the gate waiting for him to get to work (if he even would come to work today.)
Something inside me warned me to text him.
