Halloween Decor-Neighborhood Style
For part of Kimo Stowell ’s week long Halloween festivities, he has asked us to share our front Door or Halloween Decor.
Alas, with visitors and grandkids in for recent visits we are behind in pumpkin picking and front door decor. (I did, however, buy our Halloween candy!)
That said, I am lucky enough to live in a neighborhood that goes all out at Halloween. We even have a small neighborhood parade.
The neighbor down the street is putting the finishing touches on his haunted house, which I’ve never seen because Larry is scared to give out the candy. (That’s another … (12 comments)

It's back! If you're fairly new to ActiveRain, or want help in a particular area, this community has it in abundance. Just to show you, Dick Greenberg is once again hosting the Sensei/Grasshopper challenge.
What that means for you and me is an opportunity to get one on one help from another ActiveRain member, or to offer your help to one of our members here.
You're never too old, too young, too smart or too dumb to learn. Have fun with this, but be sure to follow the rules!
It's time for Round III of the Sensei/Grasshopper Challenge!

- 02/28/14 09:59 AM
It's contest time!! Pat Kennedy is hosting a March contest that should be fun. .If you remember the January contest where we were asked to write about the ActiveRain Weltanschauung, then this contest could be a no-brainer for you. Each entry will receive 500 points, and there will be First, Second and Third Place winners.
Have fun!
In January, one of the challenges involved reading (or for many of us, re-reading) the ActiveRain Weltanschauung, and then to write a post about our thoughts on this subject.
If you missed this challenge or are very new to ActiveRain, this is what … (7 comments)

activerain contests: There's No Place Like Home- And I Wish You ALL That Special Place!
- 10/11/13 11:22 PM
There’s No Place Like Home-And I Wish You All That Special Place.
I have loved my home for over 36 years. The minute I was in it, it was as if I’d been there my whole life.
You know how it is when you move into a new home….. you have to slowly settle into it….. get to know it. Sometimes it can take some time to feel comfortable in it. But not so with my home. From the beginning, it was my home.
My home has comforted me when I needed to be wrapped up in … (20 comments)

And if you're still looking for ways to attain points as well as blog topics, Liz has a different challenge for us. If you want some inspiration for it, just pop in The Wizard of Oz!
Home seems to be the one definitive word that ties us all together. Most of us who like to sing in the "Rain" do so about Home. We sell, inspect, insure, finance, stage, decorate and do what ever needs to be done to help realize the dream of home.
These professions we have chosen, they are important. We help people realize their dreams, we help … (0 comments)

Get out your cameras, it's time for another challenge. Have fun and go to Sharon Tara's post if you need to know how to insert photos. The Challenge ends October 27th.
Every other year, my dad's side of the family chooses a spot to have our family reunion. We've been to Alaska, North Carolina, Lake Tahoe and many other beautiful spots. This year my aunt choose Utah. Now I must admit, I had no desire to visit Utah but after driving through this incredibly beautiful state I left with a new found love. Gorgeous green mountains with valleys of beautifully … (0 comments)
