This house is "in town" -- that is, it is actually in the village of Wakefield (the largest village in the Town of South Kingstown, sort of what passes for our urban core). I passed it while driving earlier this week and could not help but make a U-turn and stop to take a picture. That is a humungous spider on their fence. The black cat actually startled me -- once or twice a minute its head moves left or right.
Jill is having a Halloween party at her house. She was working on her costume at various points during the week here because she was using Nancy's sewing machine. No, she hasn't died her hair blonde, that's a wig. (Can you see the pointed elf ear sticking out?)
You see, the lease on the house where Jill and Jeremy have been living this year expires at the end of December and they have both decided that paying rent (and heat and electric and water and cable charges) each month is just too expensive, so they are moving back home when their lease expires. The empty nest is filling back up. In the meanwhile, Nancy had turned Jeremy's bedroom into her home office (which I dubbed "The Math Room") so I told her that rather than moving her desk back to our bedroom, she should move it down to my den... so I've moved the futon out to make room for her desk.
Tiger is most definitely not amused by this nonsense and will be quite happy when the doorbell stops ringing and tonight is over, although he has now relaxed to the point of sitting by his window and watching the trick-or-treaters making their way from house to house. And what am I doing at home and Jill at a costume party on a Friday night when we should be in class? Well, by unanimous vote, the class decided to forego meeting in person tonight in favor of working on our various projects and discussing things in an online forum, etc. (Our instructor made that offer when she realized that a number of people in the class were of the age where they had young kids.) It's a busy night tonight -- mild weather and tomorrow is Saturday -- the candy bowl was almost empty and I had to fill it up again. Happy Halloween!
