14 years since I last wrote anything here. I sure forgot about these till it became a quest. What to tell. Last week we bought 5 acres of land. It was kept as a hayfield, so it is already cleared. We were told it is good soil. Nice and loamy. Good to dig a basement. The 5 acres are all severed, meaning they are separated already, so we can sell any of the five we don't use. It's on a corner too. Did I mention it's on an island? Yeppers! Manitoulin Island to be more precise. I so excited for what comes next. Maybe I will write more as days go by and have to do stuff with blogs.

Where do we upload images?

It's that time of year! Witches are making sure their brooms are flight worthy, skeletons are making sure they didn't lose any bones, pumpkins are being sacrificed for pies and some are turning into their alter ego Jack-O'-Lantern! Yes! It is almost Halloween!! As we all wait with bated breath for the site events and the return of the great evil Beelzebub, don't forget to register for the club trick or treat!!

Registration opens October 3 and closes October 13.

Registration is easy: simply create a blog and title it ATM 2026 Club TOT. Then come here, post your name and blog address, and you are registered! Please do NOT mail or MT me saying you want to register. You must register here.

Trick or Treating starts October 15 and ends October 31.

Once you are registered and trick or treating starts, others can and will visit your blog to leave tricks or treats! Some people may start trick or treating early, and that is acceptable. You do not have to start before October 15, but if you really want to then that is okay.

So you registered, now what? Well, when trick or treating stars you visit other people's blogs to leave them a message in the comments and send them a trick or a treat. Your message can be a story, it can be simply "Happy Maraween! Item has been sent to Person". You may visit other people more than once if you wish.

Some people like to do fun little stories as well as sending the trick or treat such as "As Pneuma approached the house, she heard horrible screams and saw the lights flickering off and on. Frightened, she turned to run. When she looked back she saw Stage Lights laying on the ground and put them in her bag. Stage Lights has been sent to Pneuma." The stories are always optional, but they are fun to read and see how creative people can get. Other fun examples can be found here:

You do not have to trick or treat the entire list of people, but the hope is that everyone who participates does trick or treat the full list.

Please keep the treats a reasonable value.

Keep in mind that if you participate you may or may not get equal or greater value tricks and treats. This is meant to be a fun little club activity, and is not a guarantee that you will receive hi
