Saturday evening was the
beginning of what would be several
days of lots of fun times!
Fearless Friday treats not tricks will give a glimpse
at a fun no hassle week,
for once, in a long while!
Ready to go!
The Cabana Boy decided that he would finally get it in gear, just suck it up, take a generous amount of supplements & meds, drink a large glass of orange juice š with a little ākickā š„, and haunt along with me. I will be doing a more in depth post on our costumes at a later date. Steampunk round 2! (Steampunk round 1 – 2017) Probably will pop up in Octoberā¦.next year – 2019, hahahaha! NO procrastination here, just perfection. I want it very detailed, so it takes a minute.

My sister and brother in-law dropped by for a day or two, so thatās always a treat. It would have been even better, had I been able to talk her into bringing hair clippers or a bottle of color. I really didnāt even try this time, though. Iām just going to have to make a trip to visit herā¦.soon. Trying to decide on style / colorā¦ If you have suggestions drop them in the comments.
Best Treat Yet!!!!
Can’t wait to get started on this project.
Weāve been looking for a camper for a while. I found one we went to look at on Monday. My new home away from home arrived in my driveway on Tuesday! This is my favorite kind of sweet treat for me – – – NO CALORIES! And it will be enjoyed for a while, not just once. This will be the inspiration for MANY post to come, Iām sure. It’s in great shape, but will be getting a glamping makeover! Besides all of the travel we will be doing in it. So ExCiTeD!!!!!
T or T with the Grand!
Sweetest face ever! Yep, prejudice!
Greer MDO Trick or Treat
Greerās MDO Trick or Treat was a great success Tuesday morning. They take the children all around town to local businesses. The owners & towns people are happily awaiting them. My little Minnie Mouse was precious. I was blessed to be able to do this for the second year in a row.

After that nice little stroll, I headed to pick up one of my FAVORITE twins.
Cathy Wilcox – Headed to BBLL on haunting’s…
Cathy Wilcox joined me on the next haunted outing.
We went to the Old State House
Speaker: Brian Irby is an Archival Assistant at the Arkansas State Archives. He holds a B.A. and M.A. in History from UCA, and is currently pursuing a master’s degree in Public History at UALR.
Museum for a Brown Bag Lunch Lecture.
Our speaker for the day was Brian Irby. He spoke on other haunting’s last year, too. They do BBLL once to twice a month on various topics throughout the year. This one just so happened to be about places in Arkansas that are tied to stories that they might be haunted. Some of the stories have been totally debunked. A few have no explanation of apparitions, noises and ghostly appearances, all the while one was just completely creepyā¦.
Old MikeĀ š³
Story telling
That story was about āOld Mike,ā who died in Prescott, AR. He was a traveling salesman. He arrived by train. No I.D. was found when he died in 1911. They embalmed him and put him in a casket on display for a while. To see if anyone would know him.?.?.? The funeral home was also the local hardware store. No one ever claimed him. He eventually ended up in a closet in the back. He was a local draw. People just came in to see āOld Mike,ā so they were sent back for a look. Local school children even took field trips to see him. A circus tried to buy him, but the townspeople thought that would be inhumane. Every few years they would re-embalm him and put new clothes on him. (Eeewwww yuck!) After ArkansasĀ State Legislature put laws on the books, someone sought to have him buried.
Old Mike – Bust
Which the town did in 1975, some 64 years after he had died. NOT creepy at allā¦ But if you are ever that direction and would like to take a peek a replica bust of him is on display in Prescottās Depot Museum.

Mount Holly Cemetery
Trina with angel
After Cathy and I wrapped things up at the BBLL we decided to head on up Broadway a little piece to the Mount Holly Cemetery. It is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful cemeteries in Arkansas, if not anywhere. It has some of the oldest graves around. If you are ever around it is worth the trip, especially if you happen to be a cemetery / history buff, which I happen to be a little infatuated with both.
Fun with Friends
Wayne, Bill, Marie, Donna, Robert & Trina
A fun Halloween evening was wrapped up with wishing good friends farewell for now, as they will be relocating to Wisconsin next week. We were able to bid them farewell with steaks – hot off the grill, sweet potatoes, wine, a great visit and happy time. What a treat, no trick about it! We love you Bill & Marie and will miss you immensely! Be blessed in your new segment of life.
Years together 1
Years of fun 2
It’s Friday y’all find something that makes you fearful and DO IT anyway! Be FEARLESS!
Enjoying my state of Rhapsodyville,
Trina
