Happy November

Now before I tell you about "this" month, lets address "last" month; {Yesterday} to be specific.. What in the world is America becoming? What is going on? Did they put something in your Fruit Loops?? CHANGING-CANCELLING Halloween for a more "convenient" Day??? Are you kidding me!!?? Well why don't we just change the whole calendar... And go ahead and add years while your at it! {That way I can be 21 again} Let's see.... "this day just doesn't seem to be working out, it's a bit inconvenient for a lot of people, so let's just change it to next week" 
Gosh, I remember when I was younger, if someone had told me that Halloween was off..I would have been crushed; LOL We always had such a good time, and if there was school the next day- all the better! Does anyone remember stuffing their pockets with candy and trying to sneak a piece in class? Growing up in Maine I can tell you that we've experienced Halloween with tons of snow on the ground.. that was when we would add layers and pillows to our Hobo Costume after all; we couldn't wear a coat over our hard work of putting everything together! It was always an added bonus if the power went out. Everything just felt more scary...we would place our lit up pumpkins on the front porch and my Mother would light the house with candles and gasoline lanterns. As for Trick Or Treating? Well, we would grab a flashlight and be on our way!
I hope everyone enjoyed their All Hallows Eve.
Now on to November, I think this will be another quickly passing Month. Rich and I will be taking a "much welcomed" Vacation; which I will tell you about tomorrow. This weekend we will be attending the Marine Corps Ball. This event is always a wonderful evening and we always look forward to the celebration, I should also mention that the MC for this year is Richard!!  I could say that I'm looking forward to watching him attempt to pull this off; however in reality, I know he'll do an "incredible" job!! My cousin Linda and her husband Chris will arrive to join us this year- so I know it will be a very fun evening!
