Halloween

I thought I had better post my pictures before Halloween is over. I can't believe October is almost over, how fast time seems to pass me by nowadays. My Halloween decorations almost compare to my stash! lol! Mainly, I love October because it is my birthday month and I seem to celebrate all month long instead of just one day.






My sister painted the witch plate for me for my birthday. Her birthday is Oct. 13th and mine is two weeks later so for two weeks we are the same age. She sometimes forgets and calls me old and I have to reminder that we are the same age during this time.

Here I am at the Making Strides Breast Cancer walk. Macho Mike is the motivator guy. He blew me a kiss after I took this photo. He probably danced for an hour before the walk, I was impressed. I thought I could surely make a 5K if this guy could dance for an hour. He had all the latest moves.

I didn't get the memo I was to come in costume but these ladies sure did. Very cute! On a high note, I always get emotional thinking about all the ladies that turn out to walk that are survivors.
It gives you hope. Our team raised the most money and I had my 15 minutes of fame on Channel 13. Did you see me??

I love driving around and checking out all the Halloween decorations. This lady is over the top. Who doesn't want a cementary in the side yard? Hmmm...


Or maybe I just jealous I don't have giant spiders on my porch, or skeletons dining in the side yard. I thought the rat running along the back of the chair was a nice touch.

The Covered Bridge Festival has come and gone for another year. This is Mansfield where most of the vendors are located. It is amazing all the people who turn out for this event. If you have never been you should go at least once. Parke County is known for their covered bridges and I think this is one of twenty-two bridges. I had to park on the other side of the bridge and you walk across it to see all the other vendors. Wear your walking shoes!



You never know what you are going to see or buy either. I was too busy watching this lady I didn't even notice the signs until now. Too funny! These vendors got a lot of business, or maybe a lot of pointing and laughing. Well that is it for now. I was in such a rush to get these pictures posted I forgot to take pictures of my stitching progress. Oh well, I will save that for tomorrow.
