I want to share my favorite Halloween memory, since I like it so much: I was about 5 and a half, and my grandma had just smeared some white stuff all over my body (I had a skin disease while growing up). I was frustrated because I would not be able to take part in all the Dia de los muertos mayhem. But my grandma took a piece of charcoal and made me into a skully. I ran after all the other kids screaming that I was coming to get them and everyone had a blast. Every time I think about it, the whole thing makes me smile. :-)Magaly Guerrerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18295455026184103230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5329474675588356725.post-26415239917431881562016-11-01T19:38:42.266-04:002016-11-01T19:38:42.266-04:00My most favorite Halloween memory is, when I was y...My most favorite Halloween memory is, when I was younger, between the ages of 8-10. We lived in a small community. Mom always made our costumes. For some reason, she made a clown costume, and I wore it for 3 years straight! It wouldn't wear out! LOL! But, my favourite thing was, there was an older lady, who lived in an old house on a hill. Seriously, not making this up! She was so sweet! But, the night of Halloween, she would get so creepy to freak us out! LOL! It was like she became another person, we all loved it! And, the best part, she never bought treats, they were all homemade!! Candy apples, rice crispy squares, etc! That old lady rocked!! <br /><br />Now, about your post! I am so proud of you Laura!! So very proud of you!! You keep being you! The real you!!! Never lose the true you!! You are a brilliant person!!! I understand exactly where you are coming from! <br />Your house looks amazing!! You did a beautiful job of decorating and honouring! Big Hugs and a belated Happy Halloween and belated Samhain blessings!

Those were the days when people were comfortable with hand made food. She knew how to have fun.

I was invited to a Halloween supper at my friend Marilyn's house. Her Mom, a doctor, was a very devoted mother and spoiled her kids rotten so to be invited to a Halloween supper was a big deal. Walking down the street in the crunchy leaves, shivering from the slightly cool breeze, I was goose fleshed all over just thinking about the wonders I would see. And I did. There were wonderful decorations in the dining room. Every place setting had oodles of fun things. The supper was so yummy and after we ate we went into Marilyn's playroom and went through a fun house kind of set up, complete with a fortune teller (her mom), a magician (her dad) and a scary guy at the end to escort us out the door (her dreamy big brother). <br />I'd love to be entered in your giveaway.

My most memorable...Do you believe in ghosts...I do. My most memorable Halloween wasn't that long ago...well, actually it was 13 years ago.<br />We had a brand new set of pumpkin lights that I strung up in our entrance way entwined among the other decorations. When I tried turning them on, they wouldn't work. My hubby checked all the lights and they were in tight...he also made sure they were plugged in. They just wouldn't work but we left them up anyway.<br />Then on All Hollow's Eve the doorbell rang and we heard the children yelling "trick-or-treat" and the string of pumpkin lights popped on and are still working today π <br />What made this Halloween even more fun was a little girl dressed as a soldier being carried by her dad who was also in uniform. I filled her bag with Halloween treats π¬ππ’ and then her dad said to her "what do you say?" This adorable four year old looks at me and says "shut the door!!!"<br />I never laughed so hard in my life πππ»π<br /><br />Beautiful post, Laura and gorgeous photos!!!<br />I enjoyed hearing about your ancestors altars...lovely.<br /><br />Happy Samhain & Happy Halloween, LauraπππJFMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09021461504951465311noreply@blogger.com
