Halloween countdown - Charleston style

Meeting St., Charleston, S.C.

These houses decorated for Halloween make me want to go skeleton shopping. I could leave them resting in the guest bedroom in between holidays.

I am watching the recorded PBS show Call the Midwives this evening. It is about a group of student midwives in England who go out on bicycles to deliver babies and all the lives they get entangled in. I am loving it of course, since I spent quite a few years helping women deliver their babies. If there weren't privacy rules against talking about our patients I might have written my more modern and wicked version. Is anyone else watching it?

That top photo makes me grin from ear to ear! How funny. Thanks to reader Ashely who gave me the heads up to check this house for skeletons. They were perfect! Happy Halloween kids!

I've spent the day at MUSC with my friend who had the recent kidney transplant dealing with some complications but I got him settled comfortably at home and picked up a trunk full of halloween candy on the way home to take to work tomorrow. I asked our hospital Security Officers to leave a couple of their shirts in my office. That should make for an easy costume!
