Sunday Snapshots – Yo Ho, Yo Ho, a Pirate’s Life for Me
Every year around this time there tends to be an accident on our front porch when some witch, carelessly flying too low and not paying enough attention, does a face plant into the support column.
Late one recent evening I thought I heard someone singing “Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate’s life for me” outside. I couldn’t see anyone out the window, though, so I didn’t think anything of it until the next morning when I discovered that a witch had strayed too far from her usual waterside haunts. Oh dear.
Ouch!

Witches’ Hats
I wanted to take a sweet treat to work on Friday to share with my co-workers for Halloween but I was too tired on Thursday evening to spend a lot of time in the kitchen, so I was lucky to find the instructions for witches’ hats online at BetterCrocker.com. The hats were a big hit at my office. If you’re looking for a last minute idea for a treat that involves no cooking and can be made in a matter of minutes, this is it!
