Happy Note: October 28th, 29th and 30th

Mornin’ All,

Happy Friday, Happy (almost) Weekend, and Happy End of the Week!😃

Ahh, what weather we’re having. Maybe a little cooler this weekend. But oh so gorgeous. And…what was that? A wisp of cold sending a shiver down my spine? A shadow? A shimmer in the corner of my eye? Was there something there or was it my imagination? Ghostly apparitions. Ghoulies. Goblins. Goosebumps. Grim grinning ghosts? Are they coming out to socialize? Black cats (well, that’s every day at my house). Ahh, Halloween, one of my favorite times of the year! And oh so much to do in Milwaukee this weekend!!😃
