Season of Shadows

It made me very sad today when I read John Wolfe's last post on the Season of Shadows blog. It made me realize once again all of the small things I take for granted every day. John will always be remembered by me as one of the great haunters who inspired me with his creations. I wish him the best of luck and comfort in the days ahead. See you on the other side, my friend.

Grim Hollow Pumpkin Ale

I have a friend who is into making his own home-brewed beer, and he brought up the idea of brewing a pumpkin ale over at our house this year. We were planning on having our first ever Grim Hollow Halloween party this year, so I thought it would be cool to make some "Grim Hollow Pumpkin Ale", which would make its debut at the party. We made about fifty of them, and most of them were consumed at the party. I'm not a big beer drinker, but everyone who tried them seemed to really like it. To me it just tasted like beer. :) I'm down to the last two, and have been saving them forever so I could take a picture of them. All the credit goes to my friend, Rick, for showing me how to make it, and my wife, Andi, for making the labels. I just kind of helped out where I could and helped put some of the labels on. It was a pretty fun process, and made me wish I liked beer more... I am looking forward to possibly making more of this in 2012!

Never Blow Out a Jack O'Lantern!

I didn't, and I was glad this was the last one going.

Grim Hollow 2011

We had an awesome Halloween this year... the weather was great, and we had several hundred people of all ages. We had announced to our neighborhood that we would hand out candy to people of ALL ages, and some older adults actually took us up on it, which was great. I wasn't too impressed with many of the pictures I took this year, mainly because I didn't have time to take many. Luckily, my dad came up and took a few more pretty good ones. I had a couple of new things this year, just didn't have as much time to work on things as much as I would have liked this past year. Now that my two younger boys are getting a little older, and more independent, I think I will be able to work more on some projects. I hope you all had a Happy Halloween! : )
