GETTING READY TO OPEN


WE FOUND OUT WE WEREN'T GETTING PUMPKINS TODAY, AFTER ALL. SO, THIS WOULD BE OUR LAST DAY OFF FOR A WHILE. PUMPKINS WERE COMING THE NEXT DAY AT 11:00. WE FINISHED CLEANING AND PAINTING THE CASHIER'S BOOTH AND WENT TO THE LAUNDROMAT AND WASHED ALL OF OUR RUGS. WE HAD LUNCH AT  MARIA'S ITALIAN RESTAURANT, DELICIOUS!! WENT TO MICHAEL'S AND BOUGHT HALLOWEEN DECORATIONS FOR THE CASHIER BOOTH. WE  STARTED PUTTING THEM UP RIGHT AWAY.


WE BOUGHT ORANGE LIGHTS AND GARLAND.
WE FOUND SOME CUTE DECORATIONS FOR THE FRONT AND SIDES THAT COULD BE USED YEAR AFTER YEAR.


WE WERE VERY HAPPY WITH THE WAY IT TURNED OUT!


  DOUG AND GREG CAME BY AND BROUGHT US WHITE PUMPKINS AND SQUASH.




GREG IS JERRI'S HUSBAND AND DOUG'S RIGHT HAND MAN. THEY HAVE WORKED WITH DOUG AND DEIDRA FOR YEARS. WE HAD LUCKED OUT AGAIN TO BE WORKING WITH SUCH GREAT PEOPLE!!




I DON'T REMEMBER EVER SEEING WHITE PUMPKINS BEFORE TODAY.  I GUESS THEY ARE VERY POPULAR, THEY CALL THEM GHOST PUMPKINS.


THEY FINISHED SETTING UP THE SQUASH AND PUMPKINS. IT LOOKED REALLY NICE!



AGAIN, I  NEVER KNEW THERE WERE  THIS MANY VARIETIES OF  SQUASH.  I GUESS PEOPLE BUY THESE TO COOK AND DECORATE WITH.  GREG AND DOUG ANSWERED A FEW QUESTIONS WE HAD AND THEY MADE SURE WE HAD  EVERYONE'S  CELL NUMBERS,  IF WE HAD MORE QUESTIONS.
 THE BULK OF THE PUMPKINS WERE COMING TOMORROW.
