Halloween Fun















































































Is anything more fun than a REAL Halloween party? You know, the kind where (nearly) everyone comes in costume, each more creative than the last? A gathering of around 50 or 60 friends, coworkers, family, all ready to party on a clear, crisp October night with nearly a full moon and a million stars in the sky? My aunt Debbo and Uncle Jack, notorious for throwing great parties and gatherings, did it again this Halloween at their place in Conroe. Lucky me, I happened to be off, and it was a Halloween to remember. More food in one place than one (even 60) could ever eat, a live band, a spooky set up in the pool house, and people I haven't seen in many years made the night complete. And the costumes! Check out the costumes!





Friends Lisa and Janie came dressed as pirates' wenches; one of my little cousins was a gun-totin' buckaroo; we had assorted friends and relatives as the Queen and a hospital patient; a human breathalyzer test; a life-size whoopee cushion; my cousin as video game hero Mario; my dad as a most decidedly daffy Wizard of Id; my uncle and aunt as "Jack and Coke" - both worked so hard on their costumes, all handmade; me as a mad scientist (yeah, I know, not that much of a stretch, right?!); my grandmother as a "flasher"; paying our respects to Michael Jackson; and some of my uncle's fellow EMS cowokers as hippies. What a wonderful time we all had!





To complete the weekend, I had the opportunity to sup with the Loon and his wonderful wife. A visit to Seadrift to enjoy their company and the art show there was a perfect way to spend a splendid Sunday afternoon. I am grateful for such good friends and their hospitality.




So, how was YOUR Halloween weekend? I hope you had all the treats you could handle. I know I did!

And your company was a great pleasure. Come again another time.

Edith Ann - yep, my grandma is hilarious. She has to have a great sense of humor to put up with all of us.

Mr. Loon - I feel likewise, and I shall visit again!

Hey, loved your Halloween pics and story. I have been to some great parties throughout my life and some I can still remember (some not so much. Ahh, those college years.)

RUKIDDINME didn't know how to post properly on blog spot to keep her followers, so here's how you find her blog: areyoujoshingme.blogspot

I would combine the two, but that technologically is beyond my skills.

Have a great day.
