Saturday, November 10 November 10, 2007

Well, I just found out that a link to this blog was posted in a Yahoo group I belong to, so I thought I’d better get over here and put up a “Welcome”sign!

Isn’t this the coolest font? Well, it isn’t really a font. But you can generate these labels with your choice of words, and then save them as images and paste ’em in wherever you want them. You can also do this

and this

and you can do it here.

Today I am doing Internet catch-up. Blogging, uploading photos, posting to what seems like a hundred groups and replying to what seems like a million emails. And I have to get up to the local hardware store, because it’s customer appreciation day and I want my free hot dog! Actually, I think I want it now.

Halloween November 10, 2007

We had a very quiet Halloween this year…NO trick-or treaters at all! Now, mind you, we never get many…but this year I didn’t even hear them out on the avenue. I guess the Saturday before Halloween go-to-the-businesses has become the big event. And I have to admit, although I miss having the little guys (or big guys) come to the door, it is pretty fun to sit outside the bakery for a couple of hours in the nice fall sunshine, drinking coffee and watching hundreds of kids traipsing by. The results of my very unofficial survey of the spectacle is this:

Girls–all ages:

1. Princess

2. Witch

3. Cat (black)

Boys– all ages:

1. Superhero

2. Pirate

3. King/knight/medieval guy with cape, crown and sword.

Girls and Boys–small

1. Fuzzy animal PJs

Parents

No clear winner; about 60% in costume.

So, there you have it.
