Legend Has It That There Are Employees have a VERY HARD TIME locking up at night! There Is A Narrow Staircase That Leads To Storage In The Upper Floor. (Fact: I was allowed to Open That Door That Led To The Staircase a few summers ago. (On A Hot August Day). It was in fact FREEZING COLD when I opened the door. The Cold Breeze When Right Through To My Bones! I was HAPPY to shut the Door! Let Me Tell you!)

Yum, I know I haven't been to visit for a while but my nose was drawn to the sweet scent of something quite delicious. I know that this is the place to be. I'm quite happy to stay, I think.

You have the most wonderful "schizo" imagination, Laura (and I mean that as a compliment)! How many of us can actually illustrate the stuffs of our brain?

Thankyou so much for your kind words Dr. Silly! Great that you dropped in. Laura has a great series going for Halloween scaring the BP'ers except for now that is, building up to a climax later on! The next seven days should be interesting. ~Pat

My dearest Michelle, you have the funniest words coming out of your typing hands. "schizo" imagination? Never heard that one before. But I do understand your admiration for Laura, because not only does our Sister have a brilliant mind as well as talent, she also has the ability, as you've so kindly noticed, to transfer her genius through her lens in the most entertaining and fascinating way, which of course is just one of the reasons why we love her so much.

What a wonderful idea to pause on our journey at the Candy shop, Laura! I remember sights like this from my boyhood days! The difference is there were no ghostly apparitions behind the counter!

Hi Everyone! WOW! LOOK! We all fit in here! COOL! YES! Red hots and lolly pops and for our dear Lorna, whatever her heart desires, once she gets here from the truck. She is moving pretty slowly after she got mysteriously beat up back at the PRINCE HOUSE! WOW! Glad we got the heck out of there! :) GUESS WHAT YOU GUYS??? This "Sweet" Lady said our MONEY is NO GOOD HERE. HA! I have a feeling it's because if we hand it to them it will fall through their fingers? What do you think??? SO HAVE WHATEVER YOU WANT! :) It's ON THE (haunted) HOUSE! Lol @ Michelle. Well, I think if we replace the word "schizo" with PHOTOSHOP we will have a winner! NONE of this would be possible without my Microsoft Digital Imaging Program and PSE7, and of course Pat at the SOUND and MIXER arena! HA! Hey...did anyone feel that cold breeze go by? (P.S. Thank you all for having fun with me and for all you have said through this series. You guys are the BEST!) NEXT STOP...MRS. THORPE'S HOUSE FOR A NICE MEAL and some LOCAL Entertainment!

I'll have 65 yards of ribbon candy! We will wrap it around you, Laura, in case something drastic happens at Mrs. Thorpes-like if you disappear at least we can see your shape beneath the candy. Not that we will need that much,lol. Whatever is boiled for dinnerI hope it does not look up at me. Maybe we can conduct a seance after dinner??? Might find answers to these strange happenings.
