Boo!!!

Did you dress up like a kid and go for the wicked candy??? I did, and caught myself a scary ghost while I was at it ;O)

There's something in the air this time of year. Fall feels like renewel to me, so much more than spring (maybe because I'm not allergic to anything that flies about in the fall, and spring sends me to bed for a couple of weeks). Something that reminds me to play every chance I get, before the work stuff comes knocking again.

The smell of all that candy I don't even like to eat. The tapestry of the sun setting behind trees bursting with rusty-red leaves. The magic of watching my ten-

year-old's excitement and laughter, expecially when he gets to act like he's scari

ng mom, LOL!

Do you remember it? A night where even adults come out to play, and you can be as crazy as you want? Two month's 'til Christmas, Thanksgiving's just around the corner. The whole world is about to throw party after party for you, and all you have to do is show up and be a kid.

Be a kid, my friends. Be that kid every day. When the world starts to look too real, pull up your mask and say, BOO! Go for the candy. Remember that playtime is just around the corner, and make today a dress rehersal ;O)

I'll have a new winner to announce tomorrow. Then I'm off to the Southern Magic reader luncheon in Birmingham. Hope I see some of you there!!
