October, Fall is definitely in the air. Even put a little heat on for an hour this morning.
   So, is everyone ready for Halloween? Or do you still go trick-or-treating? Used to go with my kids. Was fun. And I even got treats. Some were strictly for adults. Ah...Those were the days.
   I remember the last Halloween I had as a young person. I was 13. Hey, a bunch of us, dressed up, and went to houses that had known us for years. It was in California. Nights were still nice. My friends Dody, Norma, and I dressed up like Hula girls. Couple of the guys in the neighborhood dressed as sailors. After walking Norma home, she lived the farthest, Dody and I went home, we lived across the street from each other. Two of the boys walked with us. Well, you could have heard my mother screaming at me from California to Washington. She threatened to put me in a girls home. Yes, she thought they were real sailors. Of course she didn't believe that they were just friends from school. I think she finally found out though. It's funny now, but sure wasn't back then.
    After I grew up, I dressed up for Halloween all the time. One year, when my hair was real long, I fixed it into a beard and mu stash. Went to wear my sister-in-law worked. She didn't even recognize me. Another year I dressed up as Mortisia Adams. Oh yes, I had the figure to go with it. LOL.Went to the kids school like that. Teachers and kids loved it. Was always doing stuff like that. See...good things come out of bad sooner or later. Had a house like the Adam's Family's one time. Well, not quite, but was an old house. Had it decorated with old torn curtains, and other weird stuff. I stayed up stairs until kids came to the door, when someone opened it, I ran down the stairs screaming. Had old sheer curtains on, so I looked like a ghost. Poor kids used to drop their candy and run. We'd have to chase them and give their candy back.
    Don't think people enjoy the holidays like we used to. They are to involved with their TV's and other 'toys'. They never see what goes on around them or the fun they can have.
    I don't do it anymore. No, its not the 'toy's' or TV. My body just won't let me go running down stairs or the street anymore. But all of you that aren't as old as I am, have kids, or good friends, just get out there and enjoy yourselves. The years go by fast enough, if you don't enjoy them now, you will wake up one of these days, and say...Where did time go.  And then it will be to late.
   Again, thanks for reading my brainstorms,
   Never stop reading, there is so much out there to learn and enjoy.
