Do any of you have little scares that make you think you're losing what is left of your brain cells. It has happened to me. A number of years back, for Christmas, Mia made and hand painted a ceramic box for me. It wasn't a large box, smaller than one of those small Pringle containers that hold 10 or 12 Pringles, Deanie could make one of those last 3 or 4 days, I can't make one of the tubes last more than 23 minutes, actually 37 if I have a slurpee with. Back to my scare. I took that little box and set it on a side table in the living room. Each time Mia would come over, she would find a little treat in it, it wasn't long before there were 3 more boxes on the table, a watch box, a jewelry box and a music box. We're still looking for my watch and Deanie's jewelry, the music mechanism we found in the junk box with my screw driver. Another box has been added for Beata. I've forgotten the point of my story...oh yeah, the depletion of my grey matter. One day I decided to send them through the house following clues that would eventually lead them to their treats. They were up and down, up and down the stairs in a little train of bodies, not unlike the little puffer billies all in a row, I just didn't make them sing the song. They found the treats in the bottom drawer of a dresser in the basement bedroom and that's where they've stayed. On Wednesdays, Beata comes over right after lunch and the kids come after school. This is where my scare starts. Last Wednesday, Lui came upstairs to report that I had forgotten the treats. I could hardly believe it when I found the boxes empty, I was positive I had 5 little lollies in my hand that morning, now I had to remember where I had absent mindedly set them down. I checked every where, even under the kitchen sink. I thought I was losing my mind until I spotted... a bare naked lolly stick beside the toy box, another in front of the TV, one in the crayon box, the 4th under the kitchen table, I have yet to find the 5th. No wonder Beatsy was buzzing around before she crashed for her afternoon nap. The boxes are now in a drawer out of her reach. A brilliant move...I`ve still got it.

Have a great day

October 1

Scarecrow Festival today in Lumsden. Maybe it should be called Halloween Festival, there will be dumbies dressed as electricians hanging on the side of telephone poles, you remember telephone poles. There's one display that is a pirate ship, pirates and a damsel in distress guard a ship load of gold coins of the chocolate variety, probably the only time you'll see children fearlessly loot a pirate ship. Zombies rising up from in the ground, Dorothy walking the yellow brick road with her friends, Red being stalked by the wolf, prisoners escaping from jail, just to name a few. Some creative minds in that little town. We'll join the kids for a horse and wagon ride throughout town. Now there's a day to toast to life!

Have a great day
