Boo!

Here we are-- another Halloween! It seems strange to not celebrate at all. No pumpkin, no candy to give out, and not even any costumes! I could go as a witch without doing anything about it-- just being natural! I guess I will remember the good times and our kids having the time of their lives raking in as much candy as they had the fortitude to stay out. Sometimes it was warm and other times snowy and cold, but nothing kept them from their appointed rounds!
 I liked the cartoon the other day that had a sign on the door which read something like this: Due to Obama's hope and change, we have no candy to give you because we are redistributing the wealth and we gave yours to Bill and Lisa.
 I loved all the pictures you sent, even the sad one. It watered my eyes you can be sure. Such happiness and agony all rolled into one!! I wrote Camilla a short letter today and sent it. I will try and write more while she is gone too. Maybe that is what Grandma's are good for.  ( I hope you sent them to the rest of the family too!)
 We are still enjoying the wonderful food you left, and even froze some packets which we will enjoy more later on. Tonight we had some more of the spicy Olive Garden soup and some kind of slumgulion concoction that I made and I think it looked like something
Dracula would have eaten. We even put fried green tomatoes in it! Arent you glad that you were not here?
 I am wondering what your triplets think about Halloween and all it entails? They must get a new culture shock every hour!! They entered the Emerald City of Oz! I just hope that they can finally get used to our decadent food. Who is to say what the good stuff is? Are they going TorT tonight? I will bet they stay home and fill the treater's bags.
 As for those supplements, dont worry about taking them. I guess that is why they sounded familiar, but we have to know that one pill doesnt fit all. I guess there are those who are really deficient in something and when it is provided it is a godsend. To others it does nothing, or even can cause trouble. You look at some people and think to yourself that they really do need something containing nourishment. Others like myself, need less!! Anybody who eats like we do should be healthy with all of our soups and goulashes.
 I guess you are going to make the grand leap and take the family to Church tomorrow-- even if you are not Seventh Day Adventists. Tell the girls that we are the Sixth Day Branch.
 I am not sure I will go, but hope so. I have been so tired all day. Coughing wears one out, and if I am coughing at all I would not dare go! Scary. With the pandemic jitters no one wants to hear a cough.
 Elissa and Caitlin looked so cute in their costumes today! E is a long green caterpiller!! They went to the Zoo.
 I havent left the house since the Dr. visit. We shall see.
 I hope that you made it home safely the other night. I guess you did, but maybe not if you hadnt had that short nap. Very dangerous. That was a hard and long day for you. Did Camilla forget anything? I am so glad that she will stay in the States!
 Marlene, Norma and their husbands are coming on Tues and bringing lunch! It is Andy's birthday too. That should work out well. We like the Kneaders sandwiches they brought last time. It should be fun.
 I hope all who read this are doing well, and things are looking up for each of you. 

Love,  Frightful Mom
