Since G and I have no reason to really stick around for Halloween (no kiddies to take trick-or-treating and no invitation to a costume party...pity party...), we spent the weekend at the cabin. October marks our one year anniversary as cabin owners and there are few things I've learned along the way. Here are just a few of those things:
1. Take a jacket whether its January or July. It always cold at the cabin.
2. Before entering the shower, always check for large spiders.
3. Never watch, listen to, or be in the presence of the movie The Strangers or any other scary movie. You'll forever be afraid of what's out there in the darkness.
4. As comfy cozy as flannel sheets are in the winter, only use cotton sheets on the beds. You'll be waiting all day for flannel to dry in the laundry when you're trying to go home.
5. Car rides make you hungry. On the way up, stop for dinner, or at a minimum, a Diet Coke and a bag of Doritos. On the way home, stop for a Diet Coke, PB&J and any other unhealthy snack you can get your hands on.
6. Always be on call to help with laborious projects - whether its hanging "the dish" in sub-zero temperatures, digging a fire pit, leveling the ground, trimming trees, building horse shoe pits, or building and hanging window coverings, G always has a project in store and you get to help. Get ready, next summer you're all invited to help restain the cabin. Yippee!!
7. Hopefully all the appliances work when you get there. It's always a crap shoot.
8. Have a good time. Relax and enjoy the quiet.

Now that's how I would spend Halloween. What a fun idea. Where is your cabin? Let us know when the restaining party is & we will be there with brushes & all.
Hey! I might have to take you up on your offer!
Sounds like a fun way to spend Halloween. Except why do you have a dish at your cabin? Aren't you going there to get away from stuff like that? Just kidding. I don't blame you.
