10/31/23New Skelly Bob—Happy Halloween!!!

[Charlie E]

***I’ll add each days new picture to the end of the thread.
 

When my first grandson, Ryder, was about 4 he left his beloved poseable skeleton outside one October day and when I walked past his house I put it on his bicycle like it was riding and he loved it. So I started making a new scene with it while he was at daycare, and added a skeleton or two as time went on. I did it again a couple of years later and I've decided to have Skelly Bob  return this year. Ryder is now 9 and his sister Saige is 6.  I'll add pictures to this post as the month goes on.

Fun!

Holloween can be fun with creativity.

A very well known designer says....

If people don't love or hate your work, you just have not done all that much. 

Tinker Hatfield,  Nike shoe designer.

Keep up the creativity.  It does wonders for kids also.

My dad kept me from getting into trouble by helping setting up the house for holloween. 

I had my teenager help set up a UFO in front yard.  3 years in a row.  The 3rd year small busses showed up.  We had over 400 people visit.

In years past I would have just climbed the roof to get this line up there. Not anymore.

I can't believe you come up with these ideas!  I think the Tether Skull is one of your finest!  The Zip line is pretty crazy, too. mc

Thank you. As Stephen King said. “I have the heart of a small child. I keep it in a jar on my desk.”

Best one yet, just when I think they can't get better than the last.

Thanks, Paul. Good to be retired with lots of free time on my hands. Made my day today when I saw a family with 3 kids stop to check it out today.

a block party?

I’m not sure of the size of the demographic that will get this. A very popular television show in the USA when I was growing up was , Happy Days, a spin off of the movie, American Graffiti. It was great in the beginning and it didn’t age very well. Towards the end, Fonzie, the cool guy, water ski jumped over a shark. It was really lame and now the saying for a show that has lasted past being good entertainment is, “It jumped the shark.”  Oh, and Fonzie’s tag line was, “AAAYYY!!!”

Remember the show.. lot of laughs, but yes got weak towards the end.  Least they knew to quit when they were ahead.  Besides you can only play a teenager for so many years.
