2009 Halloween down the tubes!

ARRRR!

Yep! Halloween is over for another year in NOT so nice Minnesota!

We are in a nicer neighborhood but only had about 8 little trick or treaters last night. I think the crummy weather yesterday had a lot to do with it but know there were parties going on around town too. Most parents these days were doing the party idea instead of door to door trick and treating I think.
I remember the good old days of us kids going off all alone from our homes for a night of fun and laughter.(OK..GOOD memory? I'm getting old but I'm still a kid at heart!)We never had to worry about the things kids these days need to be thinking about....tainted candy, crazy people on the streets, or the partying drivers on the roads. We all knew everyone in our neighborhood and felt perfectly safe all evening off alone having fun WITHOUT our parents tagging along.
Those days are gone for good I guess.

Yesterday I received a text message from my daughter over in Detroit Lakes. I guess she and her boyfriend found a better way to deal with the crummy weather yesterday..ha! Hence the pumpkin head snowman!



Then around 9pm or so last evening my other daughter texted a photo message also wishing us Happy Halloween. Jackie (that's her on the right)and her friends were out plundering so she said. HOPEFULLY they didn't find too much trouble to get into!
I'm sure both daughters and friends had a fun and safe time!

Off to do both some sewing and some cross stitching now! Gotta keep plugging along!
You all have a great day!

Keep that smile!
