Ah, Halloween. My kids’ favorite holiday, and the one most likely to make me pull my hair out! Happy Halloween. Eat some candy. You deserve it.

If you are looking for neat boxes and solid answers, this is not your stop. I write, and I make pretty things, and I bounce about like a bubble on the breeze.
Some Kind of Love
I get it. You love him. He’s your whole world. You don’t even know what you would do without him; him, with his confidence and successes and experience and smarts and level-headedness.
