Scary

Boo! Happy Halloween from the little mummy! It didn't take her long to learn the "treat" in trick or treat!
Here we are at Cottonwood Hall for the Coleman/Paisley/Collins Halloween extravaganza! We hope this is an annual event, as it was great fun! It took Tess a while to warm up to all the wild kids in costumes, but once they brought out the cold spaghetti, she thought things were a-ok. Except, she preferred to eat the spaghetti rather than find the eyeballs. That's grandma with the blue hair in the background.
This scary monster is a 7000 pound slab/step of concrete at the back of our house, where there used to be a porch. We needed it out of the way to pour the new walls and foundation. After attempts to move it with a backhoe and skidsteer, Pops had to bring the loader to get it to budge. Seems like "more power" is a common theme in my posts.
We finally got it away from the house, but still couldn't pick it up.
So with chains we drug it to the center of the hole where it will become a permanent part of the new crawlspace! 100 years from now someone will wonder, "what were they thinking?" That is, until they try to move it!
