Bosslady said she wanted a Halloween display in the window using Sven, our one and only scandanavian moving (like 60 lb) mannequin. Perhaps a sheet over him like he's dead, she said. A bit gruesome?? Well here's what we came up with instead...

Sven has been found murdered, complete with evidence. In case you're wondering, no, we weren't afraid to use dated pop culture references as material.

Poor guy, death by kayak paddle. The worst way to go. Look at that pool of blood. Oh, and can you please note the fact that sven regularly wears a lime green turtleneck...

Murdered while trick or treating. Let that be a lesson, we thought, to kids walking by the window and seeing this.Are you wondering Hoo done it??

All evidence suggested it was Bosslady herself. Whoops.

It's apple season in these parts (well just about over, really) and this is what we did at work :


That would be ten or eleven 5lb bags of peeled and sliced apples. Yes, that's using just a knife and peeler. Or just a knife for Debbie. That was my last apple slicing day for the season. By the time I get back to work on Friday she'll have finished the rest. While my hands and back would hurt at the end of the day it was kind of nice just to stand there and chat the whole day. I'll kind of miss it.

Does anyone eat these only one at a time? I can't get away without having at least three in my mouth (I'm trying really hard to avoid the that's what she said comment...didn't work). Wait, maybe a better question I should have asked is, does anyone else eat these?

In case anyone's wondering. I made it through another applefest. Barely. With the shady (cold and rainy) weather came the people inside. It was busy and that's all I have to say about that. Now could you people go away for a little while? Ok. Thanks.

Also, Angie and Holly....We got the stains out of mike's jersey :) Shout! (the stainfighter)
