I typed this whole thing about Halloween, but I don't know where it went, so here goes again. I remember when I was about 7 or 8 I wanted to be Mickey Mouse for Halloween. Mom decided she could make the ears on her sewing machine (located in the garage that summer). Despite all her efforts ripping and resewing, she could not make the ears stand up! She tried wire and everything. I especially remember her frustration, because it wasn't turning out the way she had envisoned it. I finally went as a gypsy that year...not quite the "hobo" costume copout, but close. If this post appears elsewhere on this blog...forgive me...this blogging thing is relatively new to me!
