Happy Halloween!

I hope everyone is having fun!  Halloween activities are spread out over several days now.  Used to be it was just the evening of October 31st, but now some areas have trick-or-treat on the Sunday afternoon before Halloween so the children can be out in the daylight.  Lots of places have Halloween parties and activities.  We went along with Jacquie when they took Cutie Girl and Little Miss E to a Trunk-or-Treat.  Lots of fun, very safe, great time!

When I was a little girl, our town always had a Halloween parade.  It ended up at the school gymnasium for a party and costume judging.  Mom liked to participate and made our costumes.  One year we were Red Riding Hood and Grama;  one year we were Robin Hood and Maid Marion.  My favorite was the year she was Aunt Jemima and I was a huge pancake!  That probably would be called politically in-correct now, but then it was just considered fun, everyone loved that pancake syrup.

However you celebrate, have fun!  And stay safe!

And here is a "not Halloween" picture of Jordan and me at a Harry Potter night at the Boxwood Inn.  Les and Jacquie were also in attendance, but they went as Muggles!
