Notes from Abigail
Halloween will be here in just a few days. Like I mentioned earlier I will be traveling to Salem. I have to pack tonight or else I will be out of time. I must leave tomorrow morning in order to avoid traffic.
I suspect I will be ahead of most of the traffic however, I might meet some fellow stragglers like myself along the way. I have never been to Salem before so I mustn’t forget my GPS. I think I would be hesitant to ask for directions the closer I got to Salem!
Halloween is almost here and I can’t wait! I am thinking about traveling to some place spooky for Halloween. That is going to be so much fun! I do not generally like to see scary things or at least subject myself to them. However this year is going to be different.
I am going to be brave and see if I can go meet some witches. Maybe they can cast a good luck spell on me. Whats the worst that could happen? I suppose I could be changed into a frog.
October seems to be a popular month for birthdays. I know so many people this month with a birthday. I even know two people with birthdays on Halloween.
I think it would be neat to have a birthday on Halloween. This would be one of the better holidays to have a birthday on. I wonder if I would want a “Halloween themed” birthday celebration or if I would want to pretend my birthday wasn’t on Halloween? It sure beats Christmas.
Today I am going to bake some holiday cookies. I enjoy making sugar cookies in festive shapes and then decorate them with colored frosting. It is so cheerful!
I think this year I will bake some pumpkins this year. Some will be jack-o-lanterns and others will be regular pumpkins. I really like pumpkins because they can be good for the entire fall season.
Today I helped a family member harvest the remaining vegetables from their garden. They asked me to help due to the chance of a frost. If we leave the remaining crops out in the garden they will be soft and potentially ruined. It is better to take the time today and get it done.
My family enjoys my help when I gave give it. I do my best because it is important to help people whether they are your family or not.
