It’s Always Something…

 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.

A rainy November

 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!

A real live witch (sort of) ๐Ÿง™

 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 ๐Ÿงน 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!  ๐ŸงŸ‍♀️๐ŸงŸ๐Ÿฅ‰

I still can’t attach pics to the blogger right now. Maybe next year… 

Happy Halloween ๐Ÿ‘ป 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 ๐Ÿ‘ป

 I still love Halloween! 

The inflatable moving black cats with fangs, boo-ghosts, goblins rising out of pumpkins ๐ŸŽƒ 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..!

Candies during holidays

 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

• https://www.quora.com 

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!

๐Ÿพ

 All locations did awesome this month ! 

Thanku to my wonderful stores! 

A couple of them are occasionally very generous and the critters u get to help and I are grateful, thanku! 

  Since I’m servicing the machines or honor boxes on a regular basis as much as possible, all customers see are clean boxes and refilled machines. 

 I’m guessing stores occasionally visit the blog and get to see work done, updates, and availability for communication and questions. 

    Thanku!

For Halloween

Halloween ๐Ÿ‘ป 

   It’s the only other time of year when we get tricks or treats and can laugh at our troubles and have fun. 

So I splurged on my honor boxes with big bags of popcorn balls. 

 I wanted to include a pic of them here but blogger is having a tough time with pics. 

   They’re simple popcorn balls with a sweet tasty glaze, that’s kinda it. Of course I taste-tested a few, and they’re fresh fresh fresh ✔️

It’s still hot!

 

  Okay, its not officially Autumn until October when leaves turn all those beautiful Fall colors during the balmy-cool season of harvest before ice storms start, yay  ๐Ÿ˜•   Weather can be so difficult! 

A package of miniature Kit-Kat bars melted before I could even get them to their honor boxes. Once inside the nice cool stores, they will firm up again. The Hot Tamales are still vending okay, and am keeping an eye on them. 

That’s the latest!

Honor boxes for Halloween

 

 

 Late service went well. I try to service each location every 4-6 weeks. 

A busy, busy month gearing up for the holidays, Halloween candy to be found everywhere! 

  Do honor boxes and Halloween go together? I hope so..!
