Thought I better not procrastinate
And make some warming apple cider
A Halloween delight, having then decided
To give no spooky treat for tiny goblins hiding
And abet unfriendly tricks that might be biding.
🎃🎃🎃

Friday’s here! And so am I with your Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt. I have a phone appointment with the doctor to find out what Alex’s ultrasound showed regarding his pain. Fingers crossed it’s nothing serious! Oh, and Happy Halloween on Sunday! Here’s your prompt for this week:
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “boo.” Find a word with the letters “boo” in it or use “boo” as is and base your post on it. Enjoy!
After you’ve written your Saturday post tomorrow, please link it here to this week’s prompt page and check to make sure it’s here in the comments so others can find it and see your awesome Stream of Consciousness post. Anyone can join in!

“Book’em, Danno”was my first thought when seeing the prompt and that shows how my morning’s going. I woke up dreaming of the past which is usually never good because it leads to depressing thoughts of the old woulda coulda shoulda syndrome. You know the one, reliving something stupid you said or did. We all have them, at least I think we all do, well with the exception of Trump. Surprise—I’m leaving it there, for a while, till after coffee.
I’m not a fan of getting up in the dark and it’s cold. I’d much rather be blinded at five am with sunshine. Even a child running in the room and jumping on the bed with a Halloween boo would be preferable🎃.

Round and delicious autumn treat
Look at my coloring—stripes are neat!
Eat me or carve me, have some fun
For a Jack o lantern, I’m the one!

“Welcome to the III section of the business, Jerry. Here is where we use the three “I”s—imagination, innovation, and inventiveness which our company has the reputation for. Everyone who works in this department thinks great things; that nothing is impossible if you work hard, then creates those things in usable form. Watch your step here, you wouldn’t want to fall. You never know what old Jonesy is working on down there,” chuckling.
“Gee, Mr. Smythe, this sure is awesome”, fiddling with a screwdriver. Jerry unwittingly unscrews a huge loose bolt, sending it plummeting towards Jonesy’s area.
“Fore!” Mr. Smythe yells.

Each doll had a body, no head
The children had hidden them under their bed
The children were vicious it is true
Not like the children of me or you
They ripped dolls apart, thought it was fun
Put their heads in a tray. . .every one
They weren’t allowed costumes to go out for a treat
Thought breaking up dolls would be just as neat
They left them headless which was great scary fare
Trick or treaters saw severed heads in a layer
It frightened them so they forgot their treats
Then the shut-in children had lots to eat.

Waking up at four with a problem, my whole day has been off and wonky. I have been saved by a few bloggers’ posts, however and one reminded me of a movie. A saying from the movie is frequently used by my family. Do yourself a favor and give it a look see 😄
“The Sandlot”

Charlie entered unsuspecting
Didn’t know Snoopy’s direction
No malice was intended
In good fun, he was upended

“Oh George, he does look good. Even a corpse looks pleasing in the latest season’s garb, especially considering his elevated title.”
“Frankly, my dear, I’m surprised the king would permit his brother to be dressed this way. The things they allow these days. . . tsk, tsk.

This week’s Story Starter teaser is:
I heard a voice calling out my name from inside the house, and when I opened the door, a wraith in the form of my dad came floating inside! I was just getting my breath back when it started to speak with my dad’s voice!
“Sorry to bother, son, but I seem to have lost my way. Do you still have that compass I gave you when you were ten?”
I couldn’t speak, unable to move. My dad’s ghost slipped past me and sat down at the kitchen table. “I didn’t mean to startle you, I guess I can be a bit of a shock. And I don’t want to monopolize your time, but I really need that compass.”
“Uh, is it really you, dad? You look sort of filmy.”
“Well after being buried and then living “on the other side”, it’s what happens. No worries, son, I’m fine. I just need the compass to guide me. We’re all meeting Halloween night in the Hoia Baciu forest, and I haven’t a clue how to get there.”
I went up to the attic and retrieved the item. I tried to give my dad a hug before he left, but he was just a foggy mist.
