It's fall!!!!!

OK, the calendar says so anyway.

So yeah.  I'm sitting in here like a princess in the air conditioning instead of digging headstones & blowmolds out of the shed & getting them cleaned up & staged for next weekend.

 

Hmm.  Guess I should have stayed up when I took the dog outside at 7am and did some stuff then!  Maybe tomorrow. 

Anyhooo, what's been going on?  We went to Chicago last weekend for my nephew's wedding & Chuck went along for the ride (of course)!  He mostly hung out in the hotel room, since we all came down with the plague and quite frankly - it was hard enough to get myself moving for family stuff, let alone mess with him. 

    

He rode in style!

Once we left Chicago, we went north thru Wisconsin & thru the U.P. (OMG - it's beautiful up there and will be even more so in a couple weeks when the trees hit their peak color!) and went to 6 real Maple Grove Cemeteries (look for those posts during the Countdown to Halloween next month)

 We also found some kindred spirits in Iron River, MI! 

The hubby stopped & I got out so I could take a closer look.  They're right up my alley! 

Other than that - I'm just sort of in limbo, waiting.  It seems like I should be doing something, especially when I see all these people on FB & the HalloweenForum putting stuff out already and I'm not.   I was told & now I use it as a guideline that I can't put the cemetery up until after Miss Angela's birthday.  Well, her birthday is Thursday, that means Friday is Go day!

I could probably start bringing stuff inside.....

Or maybe I should do some cleaning first!  

Meh. 

 I finally made it into Home Goods yesterday and enjoyed looking at their goodies.  This guy came home with me, since I have a thing for skeleton dolls!

Soon!
