Halloween is my favorite holiday and for reason you state is way I love this area I lived in. As picturesque as it is, everybody says you can't deny a underlying haunted feel to it. Of course, next door my neighbors are very quite of the subject. I live next to a cemetery. Maybe tomorrow night I take a walk over and say hi.

Was raised in the country and parents didn't take their kids to town to trick or treat back then. The city of Opp was having tricked treaters to do their treating tonight instead of Halloween it has gotten now where the cities tell you what to do. I didn't tie my dogs and turn on the porch light since they are all security lights so we didn't have any kids stopping by. I do like your dishes and the cat. Happy Halloween!

I have nothing against that but I liked dressing up as something spooky. I once was a very good ghost with flour over face cream to make my face white and I wore white gloves. And our dog was a white poodle so she was my ghost dog. But that was years before I moved to TX.<br /><br />Love your photos and the dinnerware is pretty cool too.Recycled Cottage & Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13209720538924091082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8660581276521005822.post-88796848240485514052016-10-29T20:39:34.938-05:002016-10-29T20:39:34.938-05:00Bosco's look-alike is pretty neat!

I remember we grade-schooler's dressing in our finest and participating in Central Elementary's parade around the school. Only those moms that "didn't care" provided store-bought costumes for their kids. One year some enterprising merchants provided bars of soap and buckets and invited all the kids to make soap designs on their store-fronts. All's I remember, it was freeeeeeeezing cold. Yep, most October 31st's our coats, mittens, scarves and hats totally obliterated whatever costume we were wearing. I miss Mrs. Doris' homemade popcorn balls and bobbing for apples at Mrs. Zimmerman's. (Screw the germs!) <br /><br />Ya, we had it pretty good. Today's kiddos seem only to be going through the motions, and we (actually DH) obliges them because it's easier than risk someone doing damage to our home or cars.<br /> Mevely317https://www.blogger.com/profile/14786988262452989091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8660581276521005822.post-42042075001797475202016-10-29T19:06:32.555-05:002016-10-29T19:06:32.555-05:00Well I'm hitting the streets on Halloween.
