Monster Time

My house is all decorated with witches, skeletons, pumpkins, spiders and bats. Yes, it is the same house that from 1980-2003 was darkened and undecorated for Halloween. Bill and I would go to dinner, walk around an empty shopping mall and then hide in the dark house to avoid answering the persistent doorbell.

Lucas has changed all that. He has always liked monsters so the conversation about Halloween starts in late summer and goes for months. We have a worn out plastic mask that we all take turns wearing for fun occasionally but this year I intend to hide behind a real witch getup. I have the huge, black, pointed hat and last Sunday morning I found Lucas sitting on the couch in his pj’s wearing the hat. I keep mentioning what a scary witch I’ll be so he was no doubt trying to get familiar with the witch idea.

I’m thinking I need a more interactive blog but I can’t get comments for some reason since you refuse to write anything that might get on the internet. One reader is curious about what you have to say in response to my writing and I’d have to say not much. I hope it's alright to share this very little bit.

Great picture of BB & A.....
Cold here...snowed yesterday but didn't stick. We are going to a 1920's Black Tie event in a tent tomorrow nite. They had better have the tent heated!

Now I suppose you won’t even send that much anymore. It would be great to see a photo of you and Hank in the heated tent. I’ve never even been anywhere where a black tie was required.
