TOMORROW IS HALLOWEEN

Tomorrow is Halloween



 I always think it is fun to see the kids in their costumes for Halloween... especially the little ones.

The weather man says there may be a spritz or two of that wet stuff coming from the sky.  I really hope it doesn't happen.

We get fewer and fewer goblins coming to our door every year.  I do hope we get a few.

Here are my personal Goblins from 1976 or 1977.


Karen (my Alzheimer friend's daughter) ... My oldest son Steve ... My son Mark and Karen's brother Kevin.  Its hard to believe that Kevin passed away 24 years ago.  These 4 kids would go out every year with Dave and Karen's dad Jack.  Up and down the hills of our neighborhood they would go.  The bounty was always stupendous.
Fun memories.  It seems like a lifetime ago..


Always be Grateful

Always be Kind

For our kids, a little earlier than the years you have in your sweet family/friend memory picture but otherwise very similar memories of a neighborhood tradition. I honestly think our kids got just as excited for Halloween as they did for Christmas -- it was a kids' holiday back then (and I remember the same from my own childhood actually). Not so much nowadays around here -- our granddaughter takes the kids to planned celebrations, malls, Halloween parties at school and haunted hayrides -- they have lots of fun and it makes cute pictures. But not the same simple neighborhood fun and I'm sorry about that. But change is a fact of life by our age!

Always fun to look back on former Halloween costumes. We have had elephant, giraffe, beaver, spaceman, cop and robber, Lady Gaga, clown, witch, bunny wabbit, mouse, Chewbacca, Darth Vader etc etc.... I made older son a Tin Man costume, it was so rigid he couldn't go up house steps to Trick or Treat.!

Great memories of Hallowe’en! Hope you get a few trick or treaters tomorrow!

Thankfully, you and I lived in a time when our littles observed Halloween in the best possible way. We've not had any beggars the whole time we've lived here -- I think due to the proximity of our home on a darkened lot, across the street from overgrown vegetation. Spooky!
I hope some cuties stop by your door tomorrow evening!

Thanks for the memories - how did Kevin die - he was young.

Fun memories! I was just thinking today of how busy it was back when the kids were young, coming up with costumes and trying to stop at the grandparents.. Busy but fun!
It's been beautiful here the last few days, but of course it's supposed to get cold and rain tomorrow.
