It's scary how fast the end of October came up this year!! I remember thinking back in January (when I got the notice that I would be losing my job as of December 18) - oh that's a loooong way off. Well, now I'm down to a number of weeks left (7) and it seems like a runaway train!
But Halloween has always been a fun time for me! I love seeing all the little kids dressed up! I used to love to work with Chelsea to create a fun new costume each year. Oh sure, sometimes we would buy one, but the homemade ones were always the best! I love handing out the candy and knowing that the little piece of candy puts a smile on their faces!
This year I've already been to one party and have another tonight. The one last night was at my friend Angel's house! He's the most creative person I know and he had the entire house - outside and inside - decorated to resemble a pirate shipwreck. Unbelievable! I will try to post some pictures. There were probably 100 people at the party, most in pirate garb, but a few other interesting costumes (a whoopie cushion, a seagull, Fidel Castro and even a cockroach!). We had a blast. Tonight it's off to an IABW (In A Big Way) dance/party. No theme, but I'm sure lots of fun! Followed by a midnight swim in the hotel pool! Can't wait.
And don't forget that today is also All Hallow's Eve where we honor and remember those loved ones who passed away this year. Unfortunately, I have a long list this year - my dear sweet friend Byron Eliason, Linda Beal, Gordy & Bev Murphy, Paula Dykstra and my Uncle Wayne Ruud. May God bless all their families and friends with the peace that only He can impart.
On a happy note - we get to set our clocks back one hour tonight!! Yeah! One more hour of rest and maybe a little more daylight each day!! Have a great weekend!
