Moving in the Right Direction

Who would have thought that making a fake fire was so frustrating. My original design failed major big time. Then the youngest comes out of his hole, turns out all the lights then starts making suggestions. Cut here. Move the lights there. Separate the silk a little more there. Now there, it looks more like a fire, just need to add the logs around it. Brat. I guess I was to close to the project to see. But now the fire is done. Two of the ghosts have been started by the oldest and his girlfriend. That just leaves 3 more to do. Norville is starting to get ready. I finally figured out his pose for the year. Just have to find the proper height corn stalks. Don't want him to be totally hidden. We have discussed hanging Grim up on his usual line but we are afraid the he will Diva on us like the last time we let him play (the oldest girlfriend looked at us like we had lost our minds when we discussed this aspect of Grim). He always had to be the center of the cemetery.



I think that I am going to name the yard this year. Ravenhill Manor sounds pretty good. It also helps that I have about a dozen black birds for the haunt this year and the yard is so steep. I want to place signs out on some of the main streets directing people back to our area. This year the ToTs will be getting full sized candy bars. Now watch I will be over ran with people this year. Of course I do plan on having some treats for family and friends. Fingers anyone?
