The Skull of Doom

While driving home from the security guard class that I had to take today, I made a detour and stopped off at my daughter and son-in-law's place. Before getting there, I stopped in a CVS to pick them up a little something. As I walked through the aisles, a guy was stocking some shelves with Halloween items. I took a look and this caught my eye.

It feels like it is made of plaster or something like it, is pretty big (bigger than my head by a bit) and has an internal light that runs on batteries that were included. The real glow is just about how it looks in the pic. I brought it to their house, saw my daughter's car there and rang the bell. No answer, except I got their dogs barking at me. I waited a few minutes and was just about to turn to leave when someone blew a car horn. Just then they drove into their driveway - perfect timing! Phil said that they had just been considering buying something for a Halloween decoration while they were out at the supermarket. Go figure, I did something right. Both he and Celina liked it. That was also a plus. Now I wish I had gotten one for my house too, or maybe the Dracula they had, he lit up with red eyes and a fang filled mouth. Oh well, still plenty of time.

Oh yeah before leaving, I named it The Skull of Doom. Nice addition for the first Halloween decoration for their first house.

All the best,
GB
