Almost Time

     Spook Sister came called the other day.  Checking to see if I was still alive.  Now she believes me when I say that during Hockey Season you might as well forget about seeing me unless you are at a game with me.  But sadly the season is almost over (if we don't make it to the playoffs that is).  Of course this season ending is going to be really bittersweet for me.  My oldest son is joining the Navy.  We take him to Nashville Monday evening.  He has one more visit to the MEPS then he flys out for basic training on Tuesday afternoon.  I have already had a few teary eyed moments but no real break down as of yet. The drive home Monday night should prove interesting. 
     But as I said Spook Sister called to check on me and gently remind me that Halloween is only 6 short months away. (I know it is longer than that but we set up early)  I have sort of thought about the yard but have not really given it much more than a passing thought.  I do know that I want to change it up this year though.  The cemetery is getting rather old.  But for now I am wrapped up in hockey and my son leaving.
