Then it’s candy time. About the only thing scary about that are the pounds that seem to go along with each delicious bite of Milky Way, chocolate kiss, or cinnamon ball.

As you can see from the attached picture, I’ve looked better…and worse…but it was all in fun. The picture was taken by one of my staff back in 1982 when the Accounting office hosted the Halloween Open House. (Each year a different department was responsible for providing the [...] I Scream, You ScreamBack in the late 80’s, my sister and I thought we were pretty safe choosing to have our three kids be clowns for Halloween. They were around four and five years old. We wanted the experience to be fun, and frankly, we were both on a tight budget and it was an inexpensive way to go. My mother and I sewed costumes. We did the makeup from a cheap kit. Even my husband and I got in on the dress-up fun. Only we weren’t clowns. I was Mrs. Roper from the TV show Three’s Company. Yeah, from back in the [...] |
