We still had about 40 pieces of candy left, and we were telling several of the kids to take a few. Lisa took Owen to his hockey practice at 7pm. I’ve been waiting for the first to arrive. None yet. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Sea Dog Posted October 31, 2023 #106955 Share Posted October 31, 2023 Happy Halloween everyone as this is my second favorite holiday. And while I can’t do my big light display anymore because it’s just too much work and I’m a lot older now in celebrating this fun holiday here is some videos of my past music light shows. Enjoy and have a spooktacular evening. Happy Halloween!! 11 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We still had about 40 pieces of candy left, and we were telling several of the kids to take a few. We set up a card table at the end of our drive, and some of our immediate neighbors do the same. We spend the evening catching up with everyone and spreading neighborhood gossip. By the end of the evening, it was down to 38°, and we are supposed to get snow overnight. I am not ready for that. It is a good thing we had some warm, cinnamon apple cider with a little fireball added to take off the chill. I am stealing this idea for next year. Max is less likely to bark if we are away from the front door. Being almost summer though, I am going to swap your delicious apple cider idea with something refreshingly cool, 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arzeena Posted November 1, 2023 #106968 Share Posted November 1, 2023 5 hours ago, bobmacliberty said: We've been considering Celebrity for future cruises so I've been paying more attention to reviews. Recent reviews haven't been great. As for the butler, Celebrity eliminated them from Sky Suites...even if you had already booked a Sky suite with the promise of a butler. They claimed that the single butler was being replaced by a team for better service, but that's not apparently how it's playing out. You essentially now get a single cabin attendant, who also takes care of a bunch of other regular cabins, so service is basically the same as a regular cabin. I'd be upset if I had booked a suite with a butler and that was later changed on me. Lots of complaints also about food quality decreasing across the board, including Blu and Luminae. Some Celebrity cruisers don't like the fact that they now stop at Coco Cay, thinking it's a family-oriented place (bright colors, water slides, etc.) that's great for Royal but doesn't "suit" the Celebrity image. And then there's "cookie gate"...charging for chocolate chip cookies that used to be free. The president of Celebrity Cruises tried to address many of these concerns but apparently came off as being out of touch and/or lying, depending on your perspective. We may still give Celebrity a shot with an open mind. Things never tend to be as bad as they are made out to be in negative reviews. Plus, we have no prior experience as a reference point, other than Royal. The new Celebrity ships do look very appealing to us. I think you will like Celebrity. You have to try it for yourself. We have no complaints. We like it. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HBE4 Posted November 1, 2023 #106973 Share Posted November 1, 2023 No kids came to the door in over an hour. I think the last one was around 7:30. Used to go pretty steady until 9:00 with the bigger kids. In fact, no teenagers came at all. Probably because instead of trick-or-treating, they just use their phone to order DoorDash or Uber Eats to have Halloween candy delivered to them. 😆 Final count was about 40 so I have a lot of leftover. The last 10 or so kids I just handed the candy bowels to them and said take as much as you want. Little Miss HBE4 went with her BFF & her BFF's children to a different neighborhood. Apparently that is the "in" neighborhood as she said it was packed and still going strong when she left at 8:30-ish. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weather was a bit cool, around 40 but that's never deterred anybody before. Two houses in my neighborhood had backyard parties with a lot of kids but I think that was after the trick-or-treating. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
