HALLOWEEN!!!! EEEK!!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE

DON'T EAT TOO MUCH CANDY CORN

Harriet Hexagone

Uh-oh!!  The other day we saw a new face in town.  Upon discrete inquiry we found that her name is Harriet Hexagone.  She is an 'official' sent to Lickety-Split by the "Association of Witches Against Hex's" or AWAH for short.  Apparently word has gotten out that Hilda Hexington is practicing spells in her backyard.

It seems that the AWAH carefully licenses those who are allowed to bring about hex's and Hilda is definitely not on the list.  Its certainly a relief to the folks in Lickety-Split as many of them were staying awake nights worrying.  Of course when Ms. Hexagone sees Hilda's list she might just break down and approve a few of them.  After all, most of us have had the unhappy experience of being on the other end of the phone line from 'customer service'.

"Witchcraft was hung in history.

But history and I

Find all the 

Witchcraft that we need

Around us everyday."

Emily Dickinson

Hilda Hexintgon

After retirement Hilda read a book about witches -- I think it got stuck in her library stack by accident, but I'm not quite sure.  She at once decided that she would become a witch.

She had read about good witches but that seemed a bit boring.  So Harriet decided that it would only be fun if she could place hex's on those people who annoyed her.  Oh so many were written down on her list.  You know the ones -- the newspaper delivery that ends up on the roof, the cold food which should have been hot and moving toward the top of her list -- the customer service person on the other end of the line (we all know that frustration).  

The list could go on and on.   But I think we're all pretty safe for now as Harriet has been so busy compiling her 'Hex' list that she hasn't actually learned how to do a hex.  Time will tell...

"A nasty old witch on a broom

On Halloween night she will zoom.

She'll appear in the fog

Turn you into a frog,

So you'd better stay home in your room."
