Happy Halloween!

[Haudlady]

Yippee! I love Halloween... it's a chance to be silly and dress funny, and NOT get strange looks for it!

I'm wearing cat ears and a bright orange jack-o-lantern shirt. I had to take them off earlier - I had an appointment with a couple who are refugees from Sudan, and they are confused enough as it is! We had an interesting conversation - they don't understand a lot of our customs and holidays... and I had a hard time explaining this one.

Um, well, we dress up like other people and other things... some people try to be scary and look like ghosts... and then we have our kids go door-to-door and beg for candy... Huh. I'm not sure I understand it myself! I was tempted to go into some of the historical aspects, in order to explain where the traditions come from, but with the limited comprehension of English it just would have made it worse.

Happy Halloween everyone!!! Have fun and be safe!!!

Well, I just found out that the costume ride has been cancelled.. Scheduling problems and potential weather problems. I guess when I get home I'll go ahead and get dressed to pass out treats like I usually do, but perhaps, I'll take a ride around the neighborhood for a short time since the bike is already dressed for the occasion.. .

I feel your pain! My scheduled Halloween Party got canceled, too. The host's wife went into labor three weeks early... what was she thinking?!
