I only lost 1 machine location after nearly a month’s delay.
The upside was that every piece of candy was donated out and all honor boxes did very well. On behalf of critters helped, Thanku!
Even tho I’m not able to make a full living from the route, I still hope to add a few more locations soon!

Back online 🤞
Car repaired, health, peace and balance restored, and back on the road!
Cautiously, so very carefully, I returned to delivery work Friday for a few hours, and everything held up okay! All I have to worry about now is the ever-present weather, that fickleness of fate.
Took my regular day off, read and relaxed some more. Am scheduled to return to full day of work tomorrow, then what does it do? It decides to start storming. Into tomorrow. So I reduced delivery hours for tomorrow. Can’t tempt the fickle finger of fate, can’t chance it!
With any luck, and a lot of blessing, I hope to return to my route next week on Tuesday or Thursday.
All the Halloween candies will be gone, but the ones I got for this month will be ready for refills.
Wow, what a rough Halloween this year..! 🎃🧟🧟♀️🎃
The good news is that, not only did I figure out how to re-post pics here, my favorite Little Library was fully repaired! The wonderful person even made sure to attach an adorable flag to deter anyone from messing with it. It’s supposed to be there for us to enjoy!
Thanku so much for your awesome patience ❤️ You’re the best!

Thanksgiving Vacay/Staycay
Since my car was on crutches, I was stuck way up north, and shops are closed the entire 4-day weekend, I thought I’d had enuf of the stress, and gave myself a holiday from the road.
Since the nearest hostel was over 70 miles south, I searched for the cheapest and nearest motel. There were plenty, thank goodness!
Fun fact; Motel6 is called Motel6 because it used to be $6 a night.
Now it’s pricier than most motels, so I continued searching.
Found several that weren’t advertised, only took reservations by phone. Before I reserved, I did one last search. Reviews. The prices went up a bit.
Hmmm. Most reviews were okay, not the greatest, but definitely expected for the prices.
I was okay with smoking, coffee stains, no towels, fine.
Then I filtered them down to one word. Bugs. Oops, there were plenty. And pics. Not good. As I continued searching, the prices went up of course.
And here I am, not one single b review. And it’s true to form.
Clean, hot water, cable TV, plush bedding, not 1 stain, I looked everywhere, not one stain anywhere!
Oh, and hot and cold continental breakfast. Yes! I immediately became a member, got a tiny discount, and am dug in for the week.
I must say to the customers on my route, you’re the best. Have an awesome holiday, I’ll keep posting here…

Next to Christmas, Thanksgiving is the best!
Both holidays are full of blessings.
Even with car repairs pending, holiday season upon us, and bundling up for the cold, never underestimate the power of God’s Grace to count our blessings, no matter how wonderful and plentiful our lives may be!
Have a warm and Happy Thanksgiving week!

It’s always something…
I stocked up on fresh candies, both individual and bulk, ready to hit the road. Then the car died. Sort of. It’s in some sort of limp mode with crutches and I couldn’t chance it, so am having to sit out the next couple of weeks while the parts are being ordered.
It’s the most delayed I’ve ever been, over a month late and I hope it’s okay.

The harvest of Halloween is over and Thanksgiving is upon us.
All the new packages of candies are stocked and ready to go.
See u soon! 🍬

To my customers, everything seems to happen at once, and it tends to slow things down a bit, but I didn’t forget u, not even for a second!
There’s supposed to be storms this upcoming week which I hope to avoid as best I can.
More holidays coming up! A busy, busy time of year. See u soon!

Okay, the 20 foot giant skeleton was the best, until I saw a giant witch flying thru the air..!?!
Of course I slowed down to take a look, and she was indeed giant, as tall as that other skeleton who was no slouch! Except she was flying thru the air without a broom!
Wait, she was holding onto her broom 🧹 so that’s what supported her, and if u looked real carefully, u could see the thinnest of wires attaching her skirt to the chimney, she was that big! The wire wouldn’t be visible at all at night.
The best Halloween Female, not sure why the skeleton would necessarily be male, but the 20 foot giant skeleton was the best Halloween male! 🧟♀️🧟🥉
I still can’t attach pics to the blogger right now. Maybe next year…
Happy Halloween 👻 and stay safe all u spooks and scoops!
Boys and girls,
ghosts and goblins,
boys and bats,
capes and hats,
bars and bats,
bats and ghouls,
Did I leave anyone out? Be safe all, and drive safely around, too!

I still love Halloween!
The inflatable moving black cats with fangs, boo-ghosts, goblins rising out of pumpkins 🎃 only to retreat again, and over-sized skeletons, lots and LOTS of skeletons taller than their houses! Awesome!
I don’t know how the Halloween candy popcorn balls went yet, will stay posted here. They were huge, tho, couldn’t even wrap your hand around one, really big, and they took up quite a bit of space in the honor boxes so I couldn’t fit much other candy in them except I enjoy treating stores back, sort of like giving back for their time, energy, goods, and services that we get to enjoy!
The weather is perfect, clear and cool skies, making it a pleasure to be on the road.
And a shout-out to the lady taking a pic of the LittleLibrary at the park. I automatically assumed she was picking a book from the rather beaten up Little Library there or leaving clothes or food, and didn’t want to bother her. After she left, I went to see if there was any new damage that I might be able to tape up or repair and to my shock, the beautiful little red library was not only fully repaired, it was painted and protected with all new hardware, just lovely!
I’m not able to upload pics here, and will try later…
Thanku..!

M&M's are not suitable for a Halal diet. We use additives that come from animal products when we're making M&M's and traces of these can be found in the sweets. Jul 21, 2014

Are M&M's halal? - Quora
A: M&M'S® Milk Chocolate, Peanut, and Peanut Butter in the US are Halal Certified.
https://www.amazon.com
Mostly, M&Ms are kosher. It depends on what facility they are made in. If they are kosher, then there will be a symbol on the label from the certifying agency
(usually the Orthodox Union - their symbol is a U in a circle (aka 'circle U')
M&Ms are okay at Christmas. Personalize your M&Ms chocolate or mix the colors of M&M Peanut for a delicious Christmas gift to remember!
