Happy birthday to Lindsay Mills--who baked his own cake and one for me as well . . . At last! The postcards announcing the 38th Anniversary sale are in the mail. Hopefully they will generate more traffic than we have seen since beginning the celebration . . . There are just a few retail businesses downtown that have been operating longer than we have. Today I heard a rumor that Baker & Price Jewelers in Strawberry Square may close. If true, that leaves Walker's Paint Center and me as the old kids on the block. If anyone knows of one in business longer, please let me know . . . Visited JJ's creepy residence last night to see his seasonal decor. He took Bob and me by the hand and told us not to be afraid as he gave us a tour of the spooks and goblins hiding around the lawn. A huge inflated and lighted ghost dominates the graveyard and the wind was doing a number on it at the time. "Stand up, you stupid ghost," JJ shouted and at that moment the breeze died down and the ghost sprang upright. Spooky. There are spiders all over the inside of the house too which bring a grin to JJ's and Cecilia's faces when one recoils . . . Spent a few brief moments with my web cams this morning and discovered that fall has descended on Europe as well as the USA. Leaves are changing everywhere. We can thank Eric Battisti for this view in Mt. Gretna . . .
