I read this to the hubster and he almost spewed coke out of his nose…LOL Too bad I couldn’t capture Skinny Willie’s friend…he made all sorts of movements along with flashing eyes and moans/groans. He was a perfect host at the party! ;-) It would have been great if you lived closer and could come to the party and yes, I would have definitely sauced you up so that you wouldn’t be afraid. The hubster worked hard on the creepy doll....she was a perfectly normal doll….until she found herself in the hands of Dr. Frankenstein..LOL. Barry Manilow is pretty scary himself with that nose of his…LOL Hope you had a wonderful weekend with Charley!

They are cumbersome to move around and we had nowhere to display them. We love Poe also…very intriguing guy and the story about his dead was so sad….but most of the time it is with writers and poets…Sylvia Plath is another…and her son followed in her footsteps. Sorry, convo for another time. :-)<br /><br />Love and hugs to you!!<br />Benitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02712521705008463049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-758780567770747669.post-26709279806800609942015-11-04T11:56:53.924-06:002015-11-04T11:56:53.924-06:00LOL....I love the scary, but the gore is where I e...LOL....I love the scary, but the gore is where I even have to draw the line.

I haven’t made lots of friends here in TN because we seem to be traveling a pretty good bit, so it’s hard to settle in. I did make some wonderful acquaintances in the neighborhood we just moved from and still keep in touch with some of those girls. Here in the new “hood”, I’m working on it. :-) The little party over the weekend was to get acquainted and to start a foundation for some new friendships. I enjoyed meeting everyone and hopefully, we will start our new book club in the next month. I still have all of my old friendships in Alabama and Texas and try to keep those going. My best friend lives in Wyoming….I just seem to have peeps all over the place…LOL Hope you had a wonderful weekend…hugs!!Benitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02712521705008463049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-758780567770747669.post-71303418046134795332015-11-02T00:46:18.068-06:002015-11-02T00:46:18.068-06:00sounds like fun. one day I have to make it to eith...sounds like fun. one day I have to make it to either Canada or the US to celebrate Halloween...
