It's Halloween.

As a child, Halloween meant candy and excitement. I remember selecting a costume with care, and putting it together with appropriate wings or wand or whatever, donning a mask, and feeling enormously proud of myself. Then I would grab my bag, eager to get outside, and WHAM!! Mom caught me and made me put a sweater on over my charming or spooky outfit.
Trick or treating used to be lots of fun for kids. Considering the danger nowadays, I bet nobody lets kids go out alone anymore.
They had a costume contest here at the
old folks home. The lady I eat breakfast with won. She wore all yellow, with a
Peanuts characters print on her pants. My favorite care manager is dressed as a Raggety Ann doll.

This isn't really her.
