I finally finished putting up my fall decorations this morning. Living in Florida, we don’t get to see too much of this gorgeous season.
I grew up in the Ozarks in Missouri’s Mark Twain National Forest. In October, I was surrounded with changing colors of the Oak, Sugar Maple, Elm and many other beautiful trees. Since I don’t get to see them much here in Florida, I like to put the fall colored leaves around the house to warm it, and remind us of the season.
I was born on Halloween. Of all holidays, why this one. I think the main reason why I hate being born on Halloween is because throughout my life, I have been stereotyped as being a witch. 
Nothing could be further from the truth, so I will always hate the fact of it being on Halloween.
I was never allowed to go trick-or-treating because my father feared for my life. He didn’t want to go with me, nor did my mother. My mother on the other hand told me I could go to the next door neighbor’s which we were very familiar with because she understood how I felt as a child just wanting to show off my costume. With my mother being a full-blooded German, we always had enough candy in our household to feed an orphanage!
I know many parents dress up themselves and go out with their kids to keep them safe. I commend those of you who do. Some of you are lucky enough to have nice neighborhoods to walk around in with many others around you. Where I grew up, all the houses were scattered down along the Highway, so there were long stretches of darkness in-between houses.
You never know who can be lurking in the dark. Most likely it won’t be a ghost, but a human just waiting to prey on the innocent. Believe me, they’re out there! I have the most unique and awesome costume accessory for you parents, the Telescopic Stun Baton. No matter what costume you’re wearing, it will go with many. This is something no parent should be without!
This will not only protect you on Halloween, but when you are out for that evening walk, jog or bike ride, family camping trip, etc. I can go on and on!
