Trying Not to Think About It Yet

 




Not me, though. I haven't given much thought to Halloween yet, though I have been wondering if the Spirit Store is going to open in my town again this year. Especially after the delayed opening last season. And now the former Kmart is said to be the new building for a local charter school, though it will be some time before the building is remodeled for the school. Then again, the Rite Aid building is still empty, if they can get that one. Though the hiring page for Spirit gives  the address for Kmart.

While going to both Dollar General and Dollar Tree over the weekend, I noticed summer merchandise displays starting to die down, with back-to-school displays starting to be set up.  My friend was looking for summer stuff at Dollar General for a "No Beach Beach Day" theme day we have coming up at work later this month. Not much was left except for a few beach towels and I'm not sure what else. I still have some stuff I can use for that day.

Halloween seems to start popping up as early as August, so I expect that is when Dollar Tree and Dollar General will begin their displays. Before the summer season began, I bought some solar stake lights for holiday lawn decorating. I had to get these early or else they would be gone before summer even started! Sometimes you do need to think ahead. The lights are still in the package.
