Here it is Thursday, almost the end of October. This weekend will be a really busy one with the change to daylight savings time and Halloween all rolled in to it.

We still are not sure when the trick or treaters will arrive. Different communities are setting different hours and even different days. Most are sticking to the REAL day, Sunday, the 31st between 4 and 7 or so but Sheboygan (the city) has chosen Saturday between 5 and 7 which means that as we live in the Town of Sheboygan, we don't know WHEN to expect the little "monsters", goblins and ghoulies.

My brother Jeff and I were talking about Halloweens past. Mother is going to find the pictures of us as kids in our costumes. One year she dressed Jeff, who was a really little, scrawny kid at the time, up like a little old man. At that time they had Halloween parades that marched to the park and prizes were given for the best costumes. Jeff won that year. He told Mother he didn't see a thing. His hat and mask fell over his eyes, I had a hold of one hand and Nora the other and he just was dragged along. He remembers that he got 50 cents or something like that for his prize.

When we were really little I remember wearing costumes that Grandma Bowser had made for her kids. They were quite elaborate as I remember. I think there was a fancy Gypsy costume among them.

Have a good Friday.
