JOY from past Halloweens

We don't do trick or treat at our house anymore.

The ways trick or treat is handled in our town anymore have changed things a lot.

Church groups have Trunk or Treat in the parking lots, the larger grocery stores have it in their parking lot and we have no little tykes to even do it any more.

I miss seeing them in there cute little costumes.

Our JOY comes from looking at photos of past Halloweens and remembering the fun we had.

1992 Little Nikki in her devil outfit.

She was about 3 and thought she was the Bee's Knees.
Here she is playing with the devil's tail.
 

Now she is a beautiful 24 and expecting her first baby.

One of 2 great grands we are expecting in early 2014.

One of the JOYs of our life.

The other day Nikki told me

"QMM you will soon be

Queengreatgrandmamaw."

WOW us Wednesday=Fall decor around town

Well here it is Hump day, but it does not mean the same to me since retirement.

But happy hump day anyway.

Riding around town there are some pretty neat fall and Halloween and Thanksgiving displays out there.

Thought I would share.

Henry and Henrietta Villager.

All of these displays were done by the residents and employees of

Nazareth Campus

Early Halloween get-together for the adults in our family.

Great food, live music, dancing and young adults in the dark telling ghost stories.

QMM and grandoggie

Pugsly

My son and his family love this doggie to death. 

This was the first time we had met.

I don't know who is more startled me or Pugsly.

This picture was doctored for Happy Halloween.

Maybe he thought I was a Witch.

Today I am grateful for the gift of music. Music that soothes the soul, brings joy to my heart, music of the Mass.
