Happy Hallowe'en!

Pk says thanks for the positive comments.  He enjoyed writing the guest post.  I enjoyed sharing his thoughts.  It's funny to go to a yarn store with him and have him say, "that yarn will make a good pair of socks for me".  I keep my eye out for manly colors and patterns for him since he isn't a fan of brightly colored socks.

We have no big plans for today.  I'll do the laundry and cook a large pot of chili.  My brother called and asked if we wanted to come for dinner like we always do.  Since my girls were little, we've gotten together and had trick or treating and a "candy swap" and something hot and delicious for dinner.  My kids have all outgrown trick or treating and have their own plans but my brother's kids are young and the holiday is still fun for them.  So, I put on my jack o'lantern shirt and I'll make some chili and Pk and I will go and swap some of the candy we don't particularly like for some things they don't like.  I'm going to try the Boston Brown Bread recipe now that I've saved up enough cans to bake it in.  If it works, I'll share it next week.  I remember it as being really delicious.

Other than that, I'm having a peaceful weekend.  Tomorrow we'll have cake for my birthday (it's really Wednesday) and maybe Em will come (there are a lot of things going on this weekend and traffic will be horrendous).  Kate will be at the Renaissance Faire but will maybe be home for dinner.  Pk will cook and I'll sit around and let him take care of me.  Not a bad way to spend a day.

  It's the end of DST here and we gain an hour tonight.  It's also the end of Blogtoberfest.  I'll admit, I'm glad.  It was harder this year to post every day.  I admire and am in awe of those people who find things to fill a post every day all year long.  I don't know how they do it. 

Whatever your plans are, I hope the weekend's a good one.
