Post Halloween


Yesterday was Halloween, and here are what my grandchildren looked like:


 
 

 
Aren't they just the cutest ever? Last year we were there with them for Halloween, and had fun going Trick-or-treating. This year I had to just enjoy the photos of them. It will have to do. I think back to when my daughters were little and we would take them out on Halloween. I remember making their costumes lots of years. Living on base, often times out of the country, made it difficult to find things for them to be. Sometimes we took them to the base to get their candy if we were living off-base. One year the weather in England was terrible, and we didn't want to drive to the base, so we went into the village, and they each got to fill a bag of candy from a store there. The following two years we all took part in turning a very old priory building on the base into a haunted house, then watching as groups of people came thru it. I think they had a good time doing that. Now, they have the fun task of making holidays special for their children. I know they're doing a great job.
 
Hurricane Sandy came thru the east coast this week. We were spared up here, barely any rain, some wind. But New York City, and the coast of New Jersey and Maryland were destroyed. Plus the western side of the Appalachian mountains were buried under up to 3 feet of snow. It was crazy, billions of dollars in damage, 80 some deaths, and still today, 3 days after the storm, over 4 million people still without power. It will be a long road to recovery. I hope we have a normal winter up here!
