Hello and Happy Halloween and Samhain to you! Halloween used to be one of my favorite holidays. I would dress up and decorate without fail every year and even while Eamon was little. But my interest dwindled when I had Fiona. I just didn’t have the energy anymore. There are posts here on the blog…
I was a city kid, savvy to the dangers of the incivility of civilization. I’ve had to field unwanted advance from local celebrities, fend off junkies and drunks on the public bus, and walk home at nighttime from work. But I don’t think I’ve ever felt more upset than when I had my jack o’…
And lastly, Halloween wraps up my month straight of posts in October, 2016. I used to really celebrate this holiday when I was younger. Even way into my 30’s, Mark and I had a great time dressed as a pirate and his cabin boy. And a pimento loaf and cheese sandwich. Kids came and its…
I almost didn’t do it. I thought about the effort it smacked of and the time it would take to go into the attic and drag everything out and down. And then I thought about how happy their little faces would be seeing Halloween explode in the house miraculously. And so I decorated! No plan,…

A not so little boy asked if we could pull out the Halloween decorations please? I told him no. But that was because I planned to do it today and, of course, it’s all up in the attic. So while he was off on a field trip today and Fiona was napping, I threw some…
Just say yes to more pictorial fun for the Halloween Holiday. For this final day, I thought I’d do a little, or large, tribute to the Day of the Dead. What the heck is it you ask? Here’s an official sounding blurb I copied to explain it. Day of the Dead (Spanish: Día de Muertos)…
This is the exact post that I ran a year ago to the day when I was doing 31 days straight of posts the first time. I like these weird pictures that much still. From another computer perusal, this from Pinterest, I fell across this page called Living in Fantasyland. Pinterest is a place where…
Traditionally, we have carved our pumpkins by Halloween night and happily light the tea candles within to enjoy their macabre faces while we eat grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup. Because of the recent craziness, our time available to carve was today. Before Eamon came along, I made Mark carve pumpkins with me. Poor soul….
And now for the big fun. I love me some Halloween. Before Mark, I can’t remember a Halloween I didn’t dress up for. While living at 3608 Roland Avenue in Hampden, Hon, I had a few memorable costumes. While a waitress at Café Hon, how could I not dress up as a dead waitress. My…
