Witches

My favorite holiday is Halloween- all the spooky scary stuff is what I love.
My grandma made a witch costume back in probably 1959 or 1960. It's our family heirloom. My aunt wore it first. Then it was handed down to me. My two sisters wore it. Lauren wore it. She didn't want to be a witch because they're not glamorous enough for her, but I forced her to wear it when she was probably in second grade. I had to doll it up with orange ribbon and such. My nieces have worn it. I'm not sure who has it their possession, but I'm looking forward to my little Harper wearing it trick or treating someday. Weird tradition, huh?
Anyway, I'm sure Grandma Ruth never thought that costume would get that much action. Thank you Grandma!
P.S. Andy- you're lucky I didn't try to make you wear it!

Almost October

I love this time of year! I love cool mornings and chilly evenings. I love that I 've been back in school long enough for routines to set in. Life is pretty good.
