Love a Parade

I spent yesterday with my mom, daughter and granddaughter. It was Halloween!! We went to the mall - I got some Christmas gift cards for my husbands' nephews and nieces - he has 6 -(3 boys and 3 girls). My daughter talked me into OLD NAVY and FOREVER 21 - so that was done! Some of the clerks were dressed up for the holiday - we saw witches, vampires, nurses and a geisha - FUN .

We had lunch at Bens' - our waitress was a clown - after that my mom bought a jacket from Burlingtons'. It was a really lovely day - it will be a great night for trick or treating. My mom and I got back home just in time for the first goblins at the door. They visited in groups - many of them with their parents (they dressed up too). My dog wasn't happy - she doesn't understand Halloween (or July 4th) - barking away! Kids stopped coming by around 6:30pm. We still had some candy left - I'll take that to work tomorrow. My husband was pretty quite - I wish he would stop smoking - he has a horrible cough - he gets follow up mail and goes for his annual check-up from the 9/11 clean up center - He'll go again in February - I'm sure he is o.k.

A long time ago, I heard that the Lord watches over babies and drunks (I never knew what that meant - maybe because He see them as helpless?) We watched the Village Halloweeen Parade on channel 1 - it was great. I told my husband we should try to get down there one of these years'. Looked like fun.
