I do have to admit being a cranky person for Halloween. I forgot to buy candy, so I went to dinner during the trick or treat time. Yum, went to Chili's and had the soup/salad dinner. Chicken enchilada soup and a caesar salad. It was excellent. The restaurant was not crowded so I just relaxed and ate my dinner and read 'The Rule of Four'. I have about 100 pages to go.
Then I came home and gathered things together for my cruise. I am determined to be all packed and ready to go a few days before I leave. That would be a first. :)
I can't imagine how stressful this is for your s-i-l and for your brother. They remain in my prayers constantly, along with Jacob, the unborn baby, and all your family!
