Wow, October already!

Boy, this year has gone by really fast, already it's October. Before you know it, it will be Halloween, then Thanksgiving, and then Christmas.

Does anyone besides me not like Halloween? I'm so glad that we live in an area that does not have trick or treaters.

I used to like Halloween. I remember as a kid, we used to go everywhere trick or treating and got tons of stuff. We used to use pillow cases and would have to go back home and get another after we would fill the first one up or carry several for that reason. We would have candy until Easter. A friend and I even went trick or treating in our senior year of high school. Of course that was a long time ago. Nowadays a lot of areas have an age limit. There are even limits on how long trick or treating will last. Okay, that one I agree with. I even agree with the age limits too. Trick or treating should be for the little kids, not ones who can buy their own stuff.

Now Thanksgiving and Christmas I like because the family, meaning Dave, David, Kenneth, his fiance Elicia, and I all get together and have a nice day.

We bought a sleeper sofa so that Kenneth and Elicia could spend the night and not have to drive all the way back to Kansas City, but they prefer to do that and as Kenneth's mom, I worry the whole time. He doesn't always call to let us know that they made it okay either, which makes me worry even more until I see him on Facebook and then I get mad. I did teach him better than that, but he will do what he wants to do, he is after all, a grown man, even though he's still my baby.

Speaking of Kenneth, he'll be 30 at the end of the month. I was hoping to be a grandmother by now, but so far, it ain't happening and it doesn't look like it will anytime soon. Others I know are grandmothers, but not me. I have come to the conclusion that it probably won't happen and have learned to deal with it. I'm not happy about it, but I am dealing with it.

Oh well, at least the weather is cooperating.
