Happy Halloween
At the moment I am highly irritated, because this was to be a mostly visual post, but for some reason my card reader isn't working. More technology woes...
Last night was the great Halloween Parade in Danville. Omigosh, fire trucks, bands, cheerleading squads (including Nicole's) and sports teams (including Tianna's softball team). The participants on the floats toss candy and kids scramble from the sidelines to collect yet one more tootsie roll. The only problem wasn that Nicole was long finished before Tianna even got out of the gate...
Tonight is the Trick or Treating and I just don't even want to see what Nicole comes home with...none of us need the calories. Her sister went to the football game.
I got the great end of the bargain. I am home dispensing candy while Howie is out supervising phase two of candy collection for the group of five kids that Nicole is a part of.
Tomorrow Nicole and I are going to Ithaca to visit Matt. Can't wait.
Now back to the comment column of the last two posts to continue the conversation.

This Halloween my family made a surprise visit to Gma and Gpa with pumpkins to carve and games to play, to help pass the time.
My oldest brother has been losing the strength and feeling in his legs and has fallen and been in a lot of pain. Yesterday, brother Nick and cousin Roxie took him to the hospital in McMinnville, who transferred him to OHSU in Portland, where they have run tests and determined that he has a tumor on his spine (probably metastatic skin cancer, which he had removed a couple of years ago). And he seems to be going downhill fast.
I was glad we were able to make a good memory for my son, deepen the relationship with grandparents, and distract them from worrying to some extent. Mom will go up to see him tomorrow.
Politics and all that are far from my mind just now.
