I would like to thank two people for getting me to this blog arena. First, my dear sister-in-law Arleen who has her own site and was the inspiration for this idea. I had never even seen a blog until she began emailing her images and the moment I saw it, I was hooked. Second, thank you to my bookclub friend Bal who prompted me on how to initiate my own blog (she is a computer geek and I am not).
Although I'd love to do alot of blog backtracking (my husband has 17,000 digital photos on file), I think I might stick to the present and digress only on occasion when I stumble across a photo which has a special sentimentality.
Since we just finished hallowe'en, I will start with this milestone.
What a great time in the Hood. First, we kickstarted hallowe'en with a children's party at our house.
10 children came to play games like: mummy wrap, spooky scavenger hunt, spin a web. We finished the party with a spooky story complete with props (peeled grapes for eyeballs, a frozen water-filled latex glove as a dismembered hand, chicken bones and of course, the old classic of sphagetti as worms).
On the actual hallowe'en
night we had a friend sit at our house to hand our candy while we went trick or treating with Dylan. We had bought 400 pieces of candy and RAN OUT by 8:00pm.The streets were so alive with children running and laughing. Most parents were also in costume and there was such a carnival atmosphere. Two streets away there were six houses which had banded together to create an enclosed haunted house. They collected donations for the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation and in turn you could visit the spooky (actually quite graphically gross) house. They had two t.v. news crews there too.
Do recognize Andrew as "DOG THE BOUNTY HUNTER"? He won 2nd place in a work costume party.
