Jeez-o-friggin'peet!

Got an interesting phone call this morning. First, some background.

Jim and I are sponsoring a Halloween decorating contest on Merrill avenue. Since we live up here on Dad's farm there's no reason to decorate for Halloween because we don't get trick-or-treaters. Last year we decorated our friend's (Kevin and Mary) house on Merrill. This year we thought it would be fun to get more participation by having Rancho Curioso (our company) sponsor a contest. We've got some pretty good prizes. We distributed flyers along Merrill last week but haven't gotten any calls on it yet.

This morning a woman from the newspaper called and said she'd heard about the contest and wanted to talk to us about it. I thought that was pretty funny. We've had no calls from anyone wanting to enter but I got a call from the paper from someone wanting an interview? Anyway...

So, she's coming over this afternoon to check out our stuff. That means we have to get up in the loft this morning and get it all down. I'm going to set up a quickie display for her to photograph. Later I'm taking her to the Spirit store.

Pretty cool, eh? So now we're cleaning house. Jim's off to get a hair cut and when he gets back we'll haul it all out.
