Hi Kaitlyn,
Is anyone else having trouble with the Google form? I keep pushing Submit, but nothing happens. I’m hoping you and Lydia haven’t gotten 5-6 spam messages from my account in the past few hours. 🫣
If you’re swamped with emails, no worries! I’ll submit it from my husband’s account tomorrow!
Thanks, Ginger

Hi Ginger. That happened to me late last night too. Haven’t tried again today. Will try again shortly. I’m using my iPad. Good luck. Marcia Williams.

Bad Times for the Horseman’s Head
Come back! Come back! I see you staggering over the grass. Of course you can’t see me. I have the eyes! And the ears too! Maybe, if I think really hard at you, you’ll feel it. No! Not that way! This way! And of course that won’t work either. No brains.
That fool of a horse is no help. I bet he won’t realize we’re gone until he gets back to the stable and there’s nobody there to unsaddle him. Maybe, if he gets hungry enough, he’ll come back this way. And what good will that do? That might be even worse! Does he like the taste of pumpkin?
This isn’t my fault. I was just minding my own business in the pumpkin patch. I didn’t ask for a ghostly horseman with no head to choose me for his Halloween topper. I’d much rather be sitting on someone’s porch spooking small children.
What’s going to happen to us? He’s wandering aimlessly around, and I’m stuck on this lawn with no way to move. What’s that? Is he heading back this way? Yes! That’s it! Just bend down. No! Stop! Watch where you’re stepping!
SQUELCH…
