Halloween is full swing in our yard already. I have not been feeling great since I had COVID in August. Keith has been doing all of the work, at least he's retired now. He started setting up in August.

Over the pneumonia and sinus infection last month but still have LOTS of cramping and spasms in my hips and no clue what that's about. I try to get out and walk a bit but just walking around stores is causing the spasms. My trusty tens unit and heat pads just are not helping.

I am supposed to help him put up LOTS of webbing which is a two person job. I really WANT to do it so I will have to convince it to do it short 10 to 15 min sessions.

So sorry that you don't feel well. I hate when I have unexplained aches and pains.

I have been thinking about you and your amazing Halloween displays.

My friend an his family does the same but on a much smaller scale, and donates the contributions to St. Judes.

Last year they raised over $10,000 and was number one in the country.

@denise15601.

Wow! 10k. They must accept donations throughout the month. Saint Judes is a great charity.

We raised the most 2 years ago. $6500. Last year almost as good at $5800.

We are only open 30th and 31st from 5 to 10pm.

I'd love to see pictures of their display. Do they have a FB page?

I can't find a way to share their page since it goes back to the St. Judes page. But the father's name is John Ruggieri in Greensburg, PA.

You could message him and tell him that Denise Ohr sent you.

They are such a wonderful and caring family. Suzanne's first husband died from cancer at a young age so they are always helping cancer patients.

Here's a link to a fun article that our local paper did last year. It has a few funny stories of scares and tells how we got started in this... ( hint... I married into it 🤣)

( It is okay to click the continue to another site link... this something to do with eBay's programming that is causing this)

@whotoldya I thought you might get a laugh out of this.

In case you're afraid of the offsite link here's a quote and it's true!

"So what have the Stewarts learned after more than two decades of haunting?

Keith thinks for a minute then says: “Don't scare somebody so much that they poop themselves.”

And before you ask: Yes, this really happened.

“The mother was saying, ‘My daughter needs to go home and change her pants, but she wants to come back. Will you charge us to go through again?’” Jenny says with a laugh. “I’m like, ‘No, that’s OK. You earned it.’”

I don't like this time of year, since I have to cut down my pretty flowers and trash my veggie plants. Lots of work, but I am slowly getting it done.

Not looking forward to winter ice and snow, either.

My friend who has a huge Halloween display to benefit St. Judes has made over $15,000 so far this month!

@denise15601 That's awesome that they raise so much money! I did a search for them on FB and saw a lot of their photos. Very nice display!

My only Halloweener was my grandson, which was okay. I live on a dark and dangerous road. Back in the day when my daughters were young, I did have Halloweeners then. But those kids have grown up and moved away.

I am Thrilled to say that my friends who do the Skeletons for St. Jude, raised $20,142 this year!!!! They doubled what they raised last year. How wonderful!

I got my Covid booster yesterday and am okay so far. Too many people that I know have Covid right now.

We have a big jug full of change .... Going to go thru them all and seek some may have more than face value ... It is so nice just sitting there with my pretty wife doing that .. May have enough change to buy a bag of groceries ... Have a nice Holiday Season ...
