cat-like hurtle of stool and
counter, a cupboard with bells
and whistles, the Cookie Master
having had fond insight, a shared
sweet-tooth of a game….

Thank you, TS; I love Halloween also, but we don't get kids ringing the bell anymore. Most of them go to the large malls with their parents. Blessings my friend.
