Not in The North

Well it has obviously been sometime since I blogged about Webequie. Not because I am worried what they would think, just caught up in living my life at my home in Thunder Bay. It was been so wonderful being able to wake up in my own bed every day. But the best is being able to see side walks, stores and other aspects of civilization.
Now as I mentioned before I am not someone who spends her life in the shops, in fact i actually hate shopping. But it is nice that when you want a change of scenery you can get it. The closest I got to being in the bush this year were the weekly walks my son and I took to Trow Bridge Falls with the dog.

Halloween is fast approaching and I am enjoying decorating the house this year for that night. I have always had a spectacular display on that night, skeletons, severed body parts, ghosts and a mini graveyard in the front yard, sadly since I have been away for 4 years I have been trying to find everything, without success. So I guess a clean up of the basement is in order to find all the ghoulish piece to my Halloween decorating.

One thing I will miss from the Web was the Halloween preparation there. every year there is a door decorating contest. The kids and I made a door of cardboard last year and when you opened it a monster with its eyes hanging out would fall out to grab at you.

Yes a little haunted porch area, the students and I were very proud. We did not win but had a blast doing it. Wish I had done that to my house this year, but maybe next year, and I thin I will get a fog machine too.
I must say that in webequie they love Halloween, its a huge deal and huge money prizes for their costumes that many work on all year. so yes I will miss that, but maybe i will host a Halloween party here one year now that i am home.
