The Halloween Month 2023

Posted on October 1, 2023 Updated on September 30, 2023

I’m baaaaaaack. I had intended to return right after Labor Day but, my life partner needed my help in healing. He is doing much better. I didn’t think I could return to blogging as I was terrified he would die on me. He is surprisingly resilient…and tough.

All that being expressed, October is my favorite month, as I love Autumn and Halloween. Some folks are Christmas people. I am a pumpkin-head. Ha! Let the spooky games begin. ~Vic
