Thank you MadebySue for that wonderful unique modern block. I love it.
We usually have a great Halloween. We give out books, 70 -100 kids trick or treat at our house. It’s fun to hear the kids yell ‘ it’s the book house’. We set up a soup dinner party for 20-30 people. My friends usually come in fabulous costumes. I wear my cleopatra costume, John projEcts spooky pictures on our upstairs balcony. We sit on tables on the driveway and watch kids pick out which book they want. Almost all the kids really love it. Obviously, with Covid we didn’t do any of it. The health department is asking people not to trick or treat this year. Halloween morning I made stock in the instant pot and am baking a large butternut squash. I realized I was really missing my favorite holiday and was making the soup I usually make for the party! It’s not the same. Today is Día de los muertos, I am thinking about the half of my original family that has passed on. Next year I think I’m going to make an altar for them. I miss my mom, dad and sister. Ah well, next year will be better.
