Another Halloween Has Come and Gone

Posted on by Dazzling Erin

Another Halloween has come and gone and another Horrorthon has come to a close.  We hope you have had a wonderful October and that the Thanksgiving month brings you much to be grateful for!

And remember, just because you didn’t see the Great Pumpkin this year, doesn’t mean that he won’t be there for you next October.  As always, Linus puts it best:

To all of our readers and from all of your friends at the Shattered Lens, thank you.

Scenes I Love: I Got A Rock!

Posted on by Dazzling Erin

This scene is from It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!  It’s a crime that this wonderful and sweet animated special is no longer aired during the holidays.  No wonder the Great Pumpkin hasn’t been seen this year!

What I love about this scene is that you can actually see the rock getting tossed into Charlie Brown’s bag while all of the other trick-or-treaters got candy.  Everyone in the neighborhood knows which ghost is Charlie Brown and they’ve all decided to give him rocks!

Poor Charlie Brown!

The Dodgers Have Won The World Series

And just like that, the 2024 MLB post-season came to an end.

Congratulations to the Los Angeles Dodgers, the 2024 World Series champions.  For five innings, it looked like the Yankees were going to pull off a miracle and keep the Series going to at least a Game 6.  But, during the fifth inning, the Dodgers tied the score, the momentum shifted, and they never really looked back.  Even when the Yankees briefly reclaimed the lead, it felt like the an eventual Dodgers win was inevitable.  The final score was 7-6, Dodgers.

Watching the World Series is a lot different when your team isn’t on the field.  I hoped the Yankees would win, because I’m an American League girl but what I really wanted was to watch was my team playing for the championship.  Unfortunately, the Rangers did not make it this year.  Maybe next year.

Now, how long do we have to wait for Spring Training to begin?

Hooray For The Yankees!

Hooray for the Yankees?

There’s something that I never thought I’d say but I also never thought I’d find myself cheering for the Yankees in the World Series, either.

Yesterday, the Yankees finally showed some life and defeated the Dodger for the first time during this World Series.  The Yankees have got a long way to go and the odds are against them.  The Yankees have won one game but the Dodgers are still just one victory away from winning the Series.  But I was still proud to see the Yankees actually playing the game as if they cared last night.

Game 5 is tonight.  The Yankees are playing to keep the series going.  The Dodgers are playing to bring it to an end.  I really hope the Yankees pull off another victory.  I’m not ready for baseball to end.

Go Yankees!
