Halloween Greetings



The morning started on a foggy note.
I went trick or treating for my morning cup of coffee.
The trees are well into their autumn color change.
Once the fog cleared, the patio made a nice spot to begin Halloween morning.


Living in a 55+ community means there will be no kids trick or treating at our door tonight.  
Yesterday I was feeling a bit nostalgic so I dug out photos of my boys in their trick or treating days.
Once again I am reminded of how quickly the years fly by.


Instead of passing out candy tonight, I will be meeting some friends to play Mexican Train.  Before I go I'll light up the jack o' lanterns to send their cheerful Halloween greetings into the night.

Whatever your day holds, I wish you a 
HAPPY HALLOWEEN.

  3. My aunt and uncle taught me and the boys how to play Mexican Train many, many summers ago. Certainly have no recollection now of how to play but we definitely had lots of fun. Enjoy.

  5. We don't get trick or treaters because we're out in the country...
    Fun to see those old photos.

  6. Oh, I miss the trick-or-treating days with my littles. At 29 and 33 years of age, it would be a little hard for me to get them out in costume...well, maybe not LOL. Your front porch is so pretty! Happy Halloween.

    1. I'm not sure why I am showing as a no reply commenter. Blogger is giving me fits these days!

  7. I'm sure the pictures of your boys taken years ago brings back great memories. It looks like they were going trick or treating with pillowcases for their "loot". Made me smile.

  10. What a cozy start to Halloween! The fog and autumn colors must have made for a beautiful morning. It's lovely that you're able to look back at those trick-or-treating memories with your boys, even if the years seem to fly by. Mexican Train sounds like a fun way to spend the evening with friends, and the jack o' lanterns are the perfect touch to keep the Halloween spirit alive!

    We’re almost at the weekend—how has your week been so far? I just posted a new blog!
