Halloween in the truck!
Halloween is a time I enjoy as the leaves are falling off of the trees and making great rustling sounds while the blows them around. The temperature changes start me to thinking about making that first pot of chili and some of my favorite soups.
The pumpkins in the store start catching my attention and I would think of different ways to decorate the walk to our house and how I would carve the pumpkin. We always made a big deal out of pumpkin carving and how to light each pumpkin. The house was decorated with cobwebs, spooky little houses that lit up, statues of fun witches that would cackle when someone would walk by, and of course pumpkins. One year when we were with USX I found a large ceramic pumpkin in Arizona that we carted over 20,000 miles before we got back home. That pumpkin was wrapped and seat belted into the upper bunk and he still decorates our home.
Once we got in the truck full time it became to difficult to decorate the house for Halloween and I missed it till it finally dawned on me I could decorate our rolling house. Now that we have a table I can easily add a carved pumpkin and use the batter lights inside for illumination. I was able to use the convection oven to roast the pumpkin seeds. I purchased some window clings for the sleeper windows, some miniature pumpkins for the windowsills, and added my Mickey Mouse pumpkin I have had for many years!
While my decorating is not as much as I have done in the past at our house the decorating in the truck does give is a “spooky†feeling, more like smiling but we enjoy it. We do enjoy our truck away from home.
Happy Halloween!
