Here in Falmouth, we had a windy Halloween day and evening, and the winds are getting stronger as we go into the overnight period. Things settle down in the early hours of Sunday morning but tomorrow promises to be another windy one. I had lawn chairs blowing around today, lots of small branches falling, the cables for my internet and cable tv blew down from their attachment point at the peak of the roof. They are still attached down lower on the house but hanging precariously low from that point out to the street. For now, I still have access, but if the weight of the sagging lines should pull the lines loose from the pole on the street, I am not sure what will happen. Comcast says they will be here tomorrow afternoon to remedy that situation. Fingers crossed.
I had my “We the People” class this morning and a meeting with the film series committee this afternoon. I got home around 5:30 pm and realized I needed to go buy candy. I stopped by Heather’s and got an invitation to come over there for dinner. So, I rushed to the store to buy the candy and drove home to put it in a bowl on my front stoop with a sign saying, “Take 3.” I then went to Heather and Jed’s for the evening. I came home to a full bowl of candy that I will need to share with Ollie and Jonah. Otherwise, I will gain 10 pounds! Ollie and two friends went out trick or treating tonight and before I left Heather and Jed’s to come home, Ollie gave me his only Almond Joy from his bag of candy. He knows how much I love Almond Joy candy bars. It is an emotional love as when I was in early grade school, my dad would bring home an Almond Joy candy bar in his lunch pail for me to have every day after school. My dad was not one to show emotion of any kind ever, but we had that daily ‘Almond Joy’ bonding!
