Halloween

Yep, I have pics of Mo in her Halloween costume.

No, they're not up yet.

Why? Because they're still sitting on my digital camera waiting to be downloaded ... whenever I can find 15 minutes to myself that is!

Trick or treating last night was a blast and although I don't really have time to be blogging right now, I must share one quick story. Since Mo is so young, we just stuck around our immediate neigborhood and visited with some friends. Even though we've been in our neighborhood for over 2 years, we still don't really know most of our neighbors. So as I took Mo around, I introduced myself. At one house, I was told the following by this elderly couple (after I had to spell my name for them 3 times for some unknown reason): "Oh, it's so great to see some local children. I don't know why all these black and hispanic children are here... it's just ridiculous that those city folks come in here like that... "

All I could say was well, black and hispanic children need candy too. I mean what else could I say? Did they think they had the right to say such a thing to a total stranger just because I was white like them?

People are stupid. And these particular stupid people live 4 houses down from me. Oh joy!

Recently I met an elderly lady from my grandmothers hometown in rural Alabama. It was such a strange coincidence that she was from PINEAPPLE, Alabama. I mean, what are the chances? Anyway, we chatted and as I was leaving she said "You be sure and tell her they are taking over, ok?" I looked at her dead on and told her my grandmother didn't believe in extraterrestial beings. Sigh. The reason that I am a JL DROPOUT and loving it!

WOW! How rude! I really believe there is still the generation out there that was raised like that, not that it's an excuse but I feel bad for people like that....
I'm sure the pics are adorable! :-)

Old people are very set in their ways and tend to say stupid things.

I hope you walked through their flower garden on your way to the next house!

That is awful! I agree that a lot of old people are set in their ways. My grand parents were the same way. It's so sad!
