for generations by families whose ownership couldn’t be easily determined due to inbreeding. I also met a man a couple of years later who worked for the department of public works. He told me he had to go out to these properties occasionally and had observed some outrageous behaviors among the Pine Barrens families that seemed to reinforce what my mother had said – that it scared him to the point that he told his boss that he wouldn’t go out there any more, even if it meant losing his job. He told me this before I even mentioned the camping trip incident. True or not, it creeped me out for certain! Either that, or worse, we could have run into the ‘Jersey Devil’! Never made another trip to that part of the state again…

Judging from what I saw during Halloween and Thanksgiving, I would say the Never underestimate an old lady who loves golf born July flower shirt, cozy and nesting look is in. Stuff that gives off that homespun look. Think late 1960’s all the way up to the 1970’s. I don’t know if you remember the Carter era but I think that’s going to be during this season and the next. Inflation was high, gas prices went through the roof, hamburgers were so expensive, people weren’t used to prices being so high. So people stayed at home more, and I think that’s what is going to happen. They will be baking and cooking more at home as opposed to going out and running a big tab. But you asked about the decorations, and I will try to answer your question. Homemade, homespun, cozy and homey. I think that’s going to be the trend, this year. People don ’t have the money for the glitz or all the bells and whistle this holiday season. No over the top, no putting on the dog, so to speak or no needless spending. If you can make it, that’s great and there is a ton tutorials on Youtube to show you how.
