We have certainly learned these past two days that Mother Nature has a sense of humor. Last Saturday morning, around 11:30, snow began falling.  Our power went out around 3:30 p.m. and stayed out up until a couple of hours ago. Today is Monday, October 31, and this is the first Halloween I can remember where there is snow on the ground. Yep, I said the "s" word--SNOW. This picture shows the front of our house and what we woke up to yesterday. We were not ready for, nor did we want to see, winter so early. School was closed today and we woke to temps in the 20s. What??? Luckily, our power is back and the kids can go trick or treating this evening. We apologize for not running yesterday's posts. We will run them as soon as we can. Happy Halloween!

When Jeni asked this question, Shada Emery figured it was a joke. So both she and Willow joined in the fun, naming their favorite dead celebrities. And then there was Ember Cole. Ember wants one more talk with her Grandpa Normie, whose death a year ago began a year of tragedy. So when Jeni suggests a camping trip into the dense woods of northwestern Wisconsin to hold a seance, Shada and Willow put off their misgivings and agree for the sake of their friend. Ember hopes to find the answers she seeks among the dead. But sometimes the dead have their own agenda. My review: Shada was an absorbing read about friendship, letting our friends make decisions for us and then having to deal with the fallout.
