Happy Halloween from our house to yours

My Grandson told me he wants to be one of the characters from the Pirates of the Caribbean. I said, “Why don’t you get an Octopus mask, like one of the characters in the movie?” He just rolled his eyes at me which basically means — Silly Papa is just sharing “silly ideas.”
 
I must admit that I often do that with him. Talk about another idea that may, or may not, have anything to do with his topic. Usually done to be silly, to exaggerate, or just to make stuff up.
 
His safety is important to me — I take heed when Nana Joan warns me with a stern “Mr. Silva!” which is a heads up that my idea might just be a bit over the top!
 
Which makes me think of a safe Trick or Treat idea for this year. Have you heard of the new, safer, “Trunk or Treat” idea? Churches and schools are organizing Halloween tailgate parties. The parents bring their cars and let the kids go “car trunk” to “car trunk” and get candy. Everyone knows each other and feels safer.
 
Sounds like fun. Maybe I’ll dress up as that Octopus and join in!
 
Hope you have a very safe and Happy Halloween and if you’d rather be out trick or treating versus doing home maintenance — How can we help you be prepared for any tricks that your home might treat you to? (See our special offer)
