Too soon??? Maybe a little, but I am always so thrilled that November is here! All the Oct. 31st stuff is done. There is alot of traffic here on the "Face of Trauma" halloween post in the past few days. I was surprised to see it had been linked to several other sites. I am relieved that there has been no negative responses associated with this blog post. Most people "get" what I am saying, but in looking at some threads on different forums, a few do not. They feel that if they stop celebrating halloween, that will not stop the horrible things that happen. People who do not "know" first hand can not grasp it. That is ok. It is making people think. I really appreciate your prayers for Charlotte, and I am certain they helped. There were some bumpy days and I know until Thanksgiving we will still struggle more than usual, but my God is faithful!!!!!
I did get a couple of cuties at my door begging candy bars..JPG)

Yes, my grandkids do halloween. And yes, I let Kyle hand out candy on the front porch for a short time every year. It is not my position to tell anyone what to do. My daughter in law and son do not decorate their home in a halloween fashion, for which I am grateful. They keep it light and actually until the day they do not mention halloween. We had our pizza party and watched a movie. The kids went to bed full, and late...it was a positive evening for them. As I said....people need to make their own choice based on their own convictions. Mine changed out of necessity for my daughter. She knows that I love her and that she is safe....at least I pray she does.

Amy sent this wonderful book to me. I am so thrilled with it. My mother, Kyle, and I have been to the Amish Community in Arthur, IL, which is the home of one of the families in the book. I think we will do a unit study of the Amish lifestyle. Thank You Amy, for such a generous heart!

It is pretty much non existent and there is not one children's book. Really, it is starting from scratch, which is an ok thing. It will be a project that the kids and I can work on together!
Today, I plan to clean and sew....I am making my Christmas list and getting an idea of what I can make instead of what I need to buy. Aprons, tablerunners, bags....it is all possibilities.
Whatever, you do with your Saturday, I pray it will be blessed.
