Caramel Apple Day
Even if I knew that tomorrow
the world would go to pieces,
I would still plant
my apple tree.
~ Martin Luther
It was also Caramel Apple Day back on the 21st. I thought that was a tad wacky. They taste yummy alright, but once a year is enough.
Over on on a month full of Smiley Silliness it’s Twins Day. Kind of feels like Twins Day should last for 48 hours–they must get tired of having to share everything…Or maybe a better way to look at it is to think: Wow, how great it is to always have someone with whom to share life!
And in honor of all the door knocking and bell ringing on the schedule for tonight, it’s Knock Knock Joke Day. So here you go: Knock, knock. Who’s there? Ya. Ya who?. Yahoo. That’s just what I’d say if even 1 trick-or-treater showed up at my door, YAHOO! We are at the top of a steep hill and no one comes.
I miss Halloween the way we celebrated back when the kids lived at home. When the last one went off to Middle School I realized there were no more school Halloween parades in my future. Oy vey, I didn’t realize then, how much harder it’d get with them all living in their own homes. Maybe someday one of them will choose to be a parent and I can once again have a kid-filled Halloween. I do love the holiday. The picture to the right is my costume from last year. Adopt, don’t shop.
A couple years ago, my husband and I participated in a Halloween worldwide Thriller Dance with groups of people all over the world simultaneously dancing to Michael Jackson’s song. SO FUN!
BTW, the Smileys and holidays on a month full of Smiley Silliness are all different than the ones you see here on the website’s Daily Smiley.
