It looks like the Halloween season is starting early this year

I guess my parents' generation was the first in which large numbers of people relocated for jobs. I mean, yes, there was the pioneer push in the 19th century, but once those people got where they were headed, they tended to stay.

My mother's family all stayed in Arkansas because they owned a business in common. My mother was the odd one who moved, first to California, and then later to Mississippi ( she'd come home bc of WW2). My father was the eldest of five and the only one who stayed in Mississippi. He pretty much had to bc he was a lawyer and was a member of the Bar there.

When we were in Florida we went to Michaels on Jun. 18th and they already had their Spooky Town display up, and that is the earliest I have ever seen them put that out, as in recent years they usually wait until July to do it.

Oh, my! June is very early!

Now, my husband has been Summerweening pretty intensively this July, which has surprised me. He's pulled out several dvds from our collection--Haunted History of Halloween, Salem Witch Trials, The Mummy, Pirates of the Caribbean, and even my ultimate Halloween movie, Hocus Pocus. I love them all but usually reserve them for fall viewing.
