If you're wondering why I have been making Cherries Jubilee every week recently it's because I am going on a girl's trip with 12 other ladies tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday and I have been tasked with making it for everyone. I have never made it for that many people before, so we will see how it goes!Anyway, I know how to make fire..stay tuned.
Welcome.....

Good bye hummingbirds
The bees are still out and about, but today was the last day we saw a hummingbird. They were very late to leave this year, so we got to enjoy them a little longer...

Lots of our customers dressed up too.Thank You Steve Farley for these wonderful group pictures of the team witches and all the little extras you added to them.

Darren and Mindy came to visit
I had a wonderful day! My son, Darren Holsapple and daughter-in-law, Mindy Holsapple came to visit us! We ate lunch at Chuck's Place, which made it even better. We had a nice long visit catching up, even though we talk often, it was nice to get real hugs and I love yous.Mindy makes soap and she brought me this Halloween bar, isn't it great! It smells like the witches brew melts. Anyway, I am one happy mama.
Time travel watch
What to do with a watch that runs backwards? Make a Time Travel watch out of it, of course! Also you can only travel back in time, not forward.I have been selling these watches for 3 or 4 years, none of them ran backwards. So here it is in a box that I got somewhere, the handle was already on it. I asked the AI Gemini thing on Google to help me write a commercial. All I asked for was I wanted it to be called a chronometer, that it could only travel back in time, that it was safe and would not interfere with the space time continuum. It came up with some fun jibber/jabber..then I added some random things in the box, maybe the crystals are from some ancient land from 2000 years ago, maybe the key is to a treasure chest on a pirate ship from the 1600's, maybe the cogs and wheels are from the industrial revolution in the 1800's, I don't know what the springs are for. Yes, I hear you thinking, boy, she has way too much time on her hands..it was a fun project.

Red Hat Halloween party 2026
We had our annual Red Hat Halloween party today. It was my turn to hostess. I made little green potion bottles and a small treat bag for them. We played the right/left game with Halloween socks and drew tickets for other prizes. I used my Ravenswood Family album as part of my decorations on the table. You can see Paula's reaction in the first picture! We laughed and talked and really had a great time! These delicious Halloween cookies were made by Kristy's Bakery!
