Our malls and community centers still do a bit trick or treating celebration but kids in Canada still go for it, unless you live out in the country.

The lady who was in line after me kept oohing and ahhing about my purchases. I said "hands off lady" (no I didn't but thought it !) I'm going to see A Star is Born tomorrow night! My daughter went to see it and she doesn't like Lady Gaga and didn't really want to see the movie but she texted me after saying it was THE BEST!! So there you go - I'm not a GAGA fan either but after her recommendation I'm really looking forward to it.

I might suggest that would include the cost of a maid, at least for the short term to do the tasks that are too difficult for you.<br /><br />Halloween was warm here this year for a change, so I had a good crowd of 35. I love Smarties so I didn't buy the same chocolate bars as you did. :)<br /><br />Great work on your budget. I haven't been keeping track in detail but I know my costs have gone down since my daughter and grandson left. <br /><br />Have fun with your visitors and good luck with your hunt for vintage ornaments.Maebemehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09706540456819503068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2302691153455448442.post-76284455983018101452018-11-03T12:14:02.627-07:002018-11-03T12:14:02.627-07:00Hope you are feeling better now and hope Halloween...Hope you are feeling better now and hope Halloween was good. It hasn't really taken off here in France but I usually decorate the house and have candy ready. Not this year though as I went down with a vomiting bug so didn't even decorate and took myself off to bed. So now I feel like Ebeneezer Scrooge (talk about mixed metaphors)!Treadershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613671137557939083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2302691153455448442.post-6646599927929714642018-11-02T05:51:53.646-07:002018-11-02T05:51:53.646-07:00I glanced first at the photos and thought, I won’t...I glanced first at the photos and thought, I won’t be going to YOUR house for Halloween.

The Churches do a "Trunk or Treat" and so the parents take their kids there. Can't blame them with the world we live in today but they sure are missing out when we used to be able to go all over the neighborhood when we were little. It was so much fun. Glad to hear you are healing from the accident but sorry you're still hurting a bit and I agree, I wouldn't settle anything with the insurance company until you know for sure..

We get a lot of ghosts and goblins (Last year we had 75) so I am expecting a decent amount this year.<br />Smart of you to not settle with the insurance company until you both are totally healed.
