Ready for Halloween

As Halloween approaches I get melancholy because my sons are all grown up and we don't set up the driveway the way we used to when we loved to scare all the kids.
One of my favorite years was when we made the trick or treaters come all the way up the driveway to get their candy. I had ghosts that would pop up out of the woods and light up, I had a tape recorder playing scary sounds, and the best part of all was when the kids got to the top of the driveway and they would approach the table I was sitting at in my gorilla costume. I had a bright light shining in their eyes so they couldn't see my son in the woods getting ready to swoop over them on a rope swing. He had a cape on and a sword in his hand and he would swoop right over their heads. One girl screamed so loud I thought she was going to go into cardiac arrest. It was fun, but now we just put the candy down at the gate in a bowl and say "Take One Please" There aren't really any kids left in our neighborhood so we just stay up at the house and eat some of the candy ourselves.
Oh well, I still like to carve pumpkins and the more intricate the better.

This one took me at least 2 hours with scooping out the seeds and all. I am afraid to put it out at my mailbox too early because we have a few destructive kids in the neighborhood so I'll just wait until Halloween night.
Does anyone else like carving pumpkins ?????

We Are Dehydrated and We Don't Know It

Why Should You Drink Water?
You have probably heard that water makes up over 70% of the body, right? Water is part of all body fluids and is vital to the proper function of the body's organ systems. It should be obvious then that the quality of the water you drink is extremely important. For your body to be at optimal health, you should drink only the purest and cleanest water possible.

Consider these interesting facts about water:
• Two-thirds of Americans do not drink the recommended 8-10 glasses of water daily.
• Continual loss of water from the body can slow down the metabolic rate by as much as 3%.
• Over one-third of North Americans have suppressed their thirst mechanism to the point where it is often misinterpreted as hunger.
• The number one reason for daytime sleepiness and low energy is water loss.
• By the time a person feels thirsty, his or her body has lost 1-3% of its total water amount, which can affect memory and the ability to concentrate.
• Water naturally moisturizes skin from the inside out, giving you a fresh looking complexion and a beautiful glow.
• Water naturally carries more substances than any other liquid found on Earth, including vitamins, minerals and nutrients.
