Remember This?

I heard a portion of this song on a commercial the other day. Chuck and I Googled it of course. I was shocked that I still knew all the words. I know for a fact I have NOT sung that song for many, many years! These were the type of songs that I associate with my youth. They were happy, upbeat and yes, very hippyish. I was only 10 years old when this song was a hit. I really was born a little too late for my liking! I would've been into SOME of that hippy scene, I hate to admit. Enjoy!

Boo to You!

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays to celebrate. It hasn't always been that way. I remember trying to get 3 or 4 children, at any given time, ready to go Trick-or-Treating. In the past there was a rush to get costumes ready, pumpkins carved, and dinner served, so they weren't just eating the candy that they came home with. I could hardly decorate the house when the kids were little because they would carry off the decorations and play with them.

The reason I enjoy this holiday today is due to the colors. I love the fall colors. I like to decorate Halloween and Harvest mixed together so that it's not as "scary." This year I plan to have the kids over for dinner and a not so scary movie. I am going to make stew in a pumpkin and rolls. This year Halloween is on a Sunday. The kids will not be trick-or-treating since they will be attending church Halloween parties on Saturday. The church parties include Trunk-or-Treat, where they go car to car in the church parking lot. They always end up with a lot of candy anyway. Happy Halloween!
