Halloween


I took the Friday before Halloween off work so
I could go to the children's school for their Halloween party.
The children marched around the building in
their costumes. So many cute costumes.
What a great time for all!

Meggie (crazy girl) and her friend.

Matthew was Darth Vader.

Jennifer worked at a station in Meggie's room.

The following are some of the cute and creative costumes.







After the children paraded around the hallways,
Meggie's teacher had hand sanitizer ready for the
children before they went back into the classroom.

This is a picture of my neighbor on Halloween.
That costume was so funny...he was dressed as a women...
but still walked like a guy.

November birthdays

--Birthdays are good for you.
Statistics show that the people who
have the most birthdays live the longest.--

Since Jill and I have birthdays in November we
decided to celebrate...early...with dinner
at Grizzly's and a movie.

--Live as long as you may.
The first twenty years are the longest half of your life.--

=========================

This past weekend my mother and I drove to Racine to spend some time with our friends Jim and Kay. We had time to catch-up on family and even got in a game of Scrabble...like old times.

This was moving day (last spring) for Jim and Kay.

I had a great weekend...I averaged 27mpg with my car.
