fanficrants, so I thought I'd make my own. ::Hugs HP Imaging, for allowing her to make JPEGs and GIFs in the privacy of her own home::
In other news, my dad is working on another clever decorating idea for Hallowe'en next year: He bought a bunch of marked-down plastic candy cups shaped like jack o'lanterns and he's making a set of mini luminarias out of them by putting two amber or orange Christmas tree lights in them. He's got one string all made up, he just has to figure out where to find small stakes to attach them to. He's planning on doing the same with a bunch of large jacko'lantern-shaped trick-or-treat pails (you know the kind little kids generally tote from door to door?), only with those, he'd use large-bulb Christmas lights. He's nothing short of imaginative and resourceful.
And a small masked bandit showed up at our kitchen window today. No, it wasn't an especially tardy trick-or-treater, it was a furry raccoon. My mom was just starting to cook dinner, when she heard something bumping at the window over the back deck. Thinking it was my dad setting down some bundles before he unlocked the door to come in on coming home, she peeked out the window to find a raccoon looking in and scratching at the window pane! Either he was hoping for a late Hallowe'en handout, or he was looking for a pumpkin to nibble on, since we've had raccoons chew on pumpkins sitting on the deck, in the past.
