WELCOME TO IGOR'S LABORATORY...
Step on in to the lab and see whats on the slab.... Sorry, just kidding. Wrong movie! Actually this is Igor's lab. Really, his name is 'EYE-GOR', not 'E-GOR'. If you think it is E-GOR you are mistaken, aren't you?
The 'Mad Scientist' is mixing up a lovely potion to add to tonight's punch... Beware! Igor has been studying anatomy for years. Particularly brains. The head under the bell jar above belongs to someone named Abby Normal. He can't wait to get his hands on it....
I am not sure what he put in the punch but it was very tasty!!! I could taste raspberries, grapes and maybe just the subtle touch of the blood of a virgin...
Lotions, potions, bugs and snails. If you look closely you may find some dead man's nails! Or his entire hand! BWWAHAHAHAHA! Each bottle is filled with something special for use in Igor's laboratory. Next year you should come spend some time reading the labels-- you never know what assorted 'things and stuff' you might discover.
HMM. There is only 360 days until next Halloween....... So much to do, so little time.
-You might notice that the theme for my new reading list happens to be based on the Willie/Martin Handcart Companies. Why? Because I am the Trek Master for our Stake Trek next year. I will be looking for suggestions, but until then I will be reading as much history as I can...

Life is all about things and stuff...
my epitaph?
Still reading for inspiration.....
Some of the things I have learned so far... some from the book and some from experience.
Hers......
1. Be Michael.
2. Act the way I want to feel.
3. Do what ought to be done and do it now (now is the hard part!).
4. Lighten up!
Mine......
1. "It is what it is"
2. Pay it forward (goes with #3).
3. Karma is so real!! What goes around comes around.
4. Hand signals don't help.
More "stuff" I have learned from Gretchen ! !
Hugs are important when bonding with those you love. However, a quick 'hug, hug, kiss, kiss' is not usually enough time to make a real connection. Six seconds "is the minimum time necessary to promote the flow of oxygen and seretonin, the mood-boosting chemicals that promote bonding." Try it. Test it out. Six seconds is really not very long but you will be amazed at the change it can bring about in your life. Hug you kids... they will respond. Hug your spouse... they will respond also. Try it for a week without telling anyone what you are doing. See if you can tell the difference. Let me know how it works for you.
You are amazing. I love being your neighbor and seeing all the fun things you do. Thanks for keeping us entertained.
