I may have found the store, still in existence, where my great aunt bought the Art Deco compact that I'm listing. Back then there was a New Haven tag in it, but the store appears to have also been in nearby Ansonia as well. I'll call tomorrow and ask if they might be the source of this tag I'm looking at. Interesting.

Didn't get a walk today, but I did some yard work and tomorrow I'll try to find time to mow the back. I smelled something dead back near the pine trees but couldn't find it. Might be very small, a snake or lizard. It was twilight when I was looking.

Sounds like people are encouraging Sunday night trick or treating here instead of on Monday. Chances are people will do it both nights, or not at all, it's a toss up some years. I think it means I'll need to keep the dogs in both nights, and be sure there are no tripping hazards near the doors. I'll leave the porch lights off, that usually discourages folks. Some years I give out candy, but when I'm trying to lose weight myself, I'm not introducing that temptation into the house.

What about the rest of you? Do you decorate, dress up, or do anything for Halloween, do you give out candy, or do you disappear for a while?
