Hello Susan - Did you get a halloween pumpkin? I bought mine at the start of the month.. They last a long time, sometimes through November.. It rained off and on all week here.. We needed the rain, especially since September was dry as a bone.. Has been in the 40s all week.. Had supper at Applebees this evening.. I ordered a chicken and shrimp skillet meal.. Those things are hot when brought to the table.. Can hear it frying.. Did you ever have a skillet meal? Will say good night now.. Have a pleasant Sunday xx Melinda
