Hi sweetheart,
We had another laid back kind of a day. I took the kids out and spent a lot of money. Oh well. It happens. We bought a lot of stuff at the Party store to get ready for Halloween. I just felt like decorating up the house and got some props for the kids? costumes and stuff. Got Billy and Kristin some clothes. They?ve all gained so much weight! We have to get on a program here. I can?t be the only one losing four pounds.
Later this afternoon we went out looking for a pumpkin farm you and I went to years ago and I remember we went there right before we went to Maryland on our honeymoon in 1985. Things have changed so much around here! There was one farm place that was incredibly packed, Schmitt Farms, I think. They had a haunted house site further up the road and we stopped off and did that.
It was kind of fun. They?d taken the inside of an old building and decorated it up with some really gross looking plastic bodies, monsters and so on, sprinkled in a few real people to scare people, some mazes and other special effects and bam! Instant fun haunted house?only Kristin chickened out right away and Heidi got about half way through before she bailed. Oh well. Billy and I made it through.
We went on down the road and found a place I thought might be the place we?d visited. They are having some kind of harvest festival all month. It costs $9 per person to get in and then there?s free hayrides, puppet shows, and other amusements. It was getting late in the afternoon and COLD and Heidi was getting cranky so we decided to put it off to next weekend and we came back home. We had a good day today, too, Rich. I think you would have enjoyed it.
Oh this is great. :( I went into AOL so that I could change some pictures to enhance our website and found out that the U.S. and British dropped about 50 missiles on Afghanistan?I won?t publicly speak against our country but I just don?t think it?ll do any good at all. I hope innocent civilians weren?t killed.
