OK, I'm going to admit what we did for Halloween. I knew that Honey would go nuts with the trick or treaters, so she and Lilly stayed in the backyard and we went to another neighborhood with one of my daughter's friends!!!! My house was completely dark, so hopefully no one came. It probably looked pretty weird considering I've had all kinds of pumpkins and ghost lights lit around the front porch for two weeks now. Not last night!!!!!
My Honey tends to be a little nervous around strangers and I thought they would just be better off in the back where they wouldn't hear anything. No complaints from the neighbors, so I guess all was well!!

By the way, KYS, as for "shovelling" the possum. I was trying to pick him up with these pincher things my neighbor gave me to put him in a trash bag, and ultimately the trash. We were in the pitch, black dark, with my daughter holding the flashlight. No husband here to help!!! That's when I saw that he was still breathing!!!
