...birthday wishes...






 
Though Facebook can be the source of much time wasting, it does have some redeeming qualities. Reconnecting with people you've lost touch with is loads of fun, but getting all those extra birthday wishes is definitely the best part. I know everybody gets prompted that it is your birthday, but that is okay. As the number gets higher and higher I'll take whatever good wishes I can get...prompted or not!

...Halloween...



I love Halloween in our neighborhood.  It is so Americana.  Halloween in our neighborhood makes you think that, despite how they say we're going to "He-- in a handbasket", around here everything is a-okay.  Kids were running around the streets, mostly followed by adults joining right in with the fun.  We had lots of trick-or-treaters and the neighbors got a chance to come out and visit and chat. 

It makes me feel sad for the anti-Halloweeners.  They are so focused on the "pagan" aspects of Halloween that they miss what is really a happy and joyful time.  Halloween is about kids...being one and pretending to be one.  I love it.




Here's what greeted our trick or treaters!  She seemed very confused, but loved all the visitors!
