Scrappy, when are you going to learn that throwing perfect good sweet things is sacriledge? Here, give me those cookies before you ruin them. At least a couple? Please?
Xengab, enjoy your visit with your granddaughter. I'm sure you'll have fun, and then you get to give her back. Me? I'm sentenced to probably at least 15 more years of torture. No, no - just kidding. Love my kids and wouldn't trade them for anything...although, dealing with Baby Phalon's mood the last day or two is akin to torture - imagine the running of fingernails down a chalkboard, and you will have a clue as to how my nerves feel. I'm chalking it up the the full moon and lunar eclipse, (which means it'll all be better soon, right? Please?).
Enjoy your weekends.

Just a quick stop in before work to wish everyone a Happy Halloween. Remember - catch a falling leaf before midnight tonight and you will have good luck throughout the next year.

The origins of falling leaf bringing luck tradition comes from the ancient Druids, and the autumn celebration of Samhain. I'm not sure what the original significance is.
Gotta run - just a quick stop in.

Never heard of a leaf bringing good luck. Anything's possable.Won't hurt to try.

Hope you all enjoyed your weekends. Just wondering, Eirene, do the children in Germany dress up in costumes and trick-or-treat? How about in England, Dixie or Xengab? I love this time of year - Halloween is probably my favorite holiday.

Hi Phalon!Here in England it is not as big as it is in America,but it is getting more and more like yours.My granddaughter was looking forward to it and dressed up as witch.We had quite a lot of children coming to our house,trick or treating,it's good fun. Eirene,steak, potatoes and maybe a mixed salad would be great.Thank you.

Yeah, we have trick-or-treating and Halloween parties where people dress up, but like xengab said its not as widely celebrated as it is in the US. Samhain is traditionally a festival of the dead. Many Wiccans celebrate their ancestry on this day and its customary to decorate the altar with pictures of relatives who have passed on as an act of remembrance as well as the traditional foliage and berries of the season. In my house I also leave out some food and wine and lit candles (on my altar actually, although traditionally it would have been by the fire but I don't have one!) and some cushions or a chair. This represents an invitation to any spirits who wish to visit on this night, a gesture of hospitality. Don't know about the good luck leaf though...

I think you earned a snooze in the amazing-most-comfortable bed Scooch over and I'll sit with you...maybe read you a story...that's what my mum used to do when I was a kid if I was sick Always made me forget I was feeling bad and get lost in the story instead. I hear there's a pretty gripping story going on over at the House of Whoosher...

Here i am, Xengab! At your service! Your wish is my command! One moment... tap, tap, tap.... bring the steak with popatos, beans and a mixed salad ( made from salad, tomatos, cooking bacon, cheese and cucumber - yoghurt herbs dressing ).... Enjoy it, my dear! What do you wanna drink? Coffee, tea, juice, wine or something stronger?!
