PUNKIN' TIME

Soon...we'll make the trek out to the country to buy pumpkins...and gourds...and all the oddities that Cindy likes to display at this time of year.

Last year...we also bought one of those BIG pumpkins. If we do that this year...it will have to make its own way into the vehicle and fall out in the right spot when we get to our house. Right now...I'm not supposed to lift 10 pounds. Those MONSTER pumpkins are 100's of pounds.

Some years ago, friends of Cindy & mine had relatives who grew those whopper pumpkins. We took Mason out to see them when he was just a few years old and took pictures with him sitting atop several of them. According to this article...the bigger and uglier they can grow them these days...the better.

We'll probably get several varieties when we go, but certainly will get a number of the 'old standby' pumpkin. Since we're all...well almost all...in one household now, I think we'll have to have a decorating contest this year.

The grandkids will like that...and the big kids will certainly try to outdo one another.

It should be a fun Halloween season.
