In my youth, Trick-or-Treat was a multi-night proposition. I lived in Rochester, New York when my Dad was attending graduate school and the girl next door went out starting about the 15th of October.



Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Must retire – the 0500 Reveille approaches relentlessly.

The Bugler, his grim visage replete with an evil sneer, already mounts the parapet.

Do poor Tom some charity, whom the foul fiend vexes!



All Gave Some – Some Gave All!!!

Good night, God bless you, and God bless the United States of America!

Godspeed our Troops around the Globe – especially those in harm’s way – by virtue of their service and sacrifice we continue to live in Freedom!

Good evening, Sir Conor! *hugs*

Can't believe I finally got back.

Halloween was a big deal when I was young as well. We didn't start on the 15th but we stayed out for hours!

[idaho foxtrot]

A wonderful post thankyou very much.
I was serving on the Australian destroyer HMAS Vampire in 1961 when we did a similar jackstay transfer with the famous American WW2 aircraft carrier USS Hornet.
I got goose pimples at the memory just by looking at your posting.
I also served with your ships in Vietnam and had many beers with your guys in Subic Bay 1966-67.
May the good LORD bless all who serve in the U.S. Navy.
And God bless the USA and Australia.

God Bless you good, Mac. Good night and rest well. Thanks for helping honor our troops, past and present.
Thank you for your service to our country.

Thanks, Nana Hope, for today's Pledge…((HUGS)). Thanks, AfghanMan and Penguin Girl, for your service to America.

Hey Ma! All the tricksters have gone home. They tell me it was -20 last year and too cold to go ringing doorbells.

+17 and a whole bunch of little tigers, bees, and werewolves.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Sounds like the little ones had a good time. They are always so cute. ((HUGS)) The ones don’t go to indoor places are all bundled up and cuter still. -20 is a tad cold to be out going from door to door.

We were dark for the first time. My Dad usually sits on the bench in the foyer and reads between door bell rings. He can’t anymore. My Mom is a tad more mobile, but very,very slow. And I get home late...that is when the teens come. They aren’t nearly as cute or much fun to talk to....I opted out.

[Jet Jaguar]

They aren’t nearly as cute or much fun to talk to....I opted out.

LOL!!! I hear you.

[Kathy in Alaska]

And rounding out the top 3....The Mayor bags the bronze!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Had a chance to try out your new boots?

[Jet Jaguar]

Not yet. I’m still running around in my sneakers.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Your toes are gonna cold pretty quick. LOL!

It’s 15 here right now.

[Jet Jaguar]

I have worn my extreme cold weather issued military boots twice. They are not broken in. They work well. But, they are too warm if it is above +10.

I am still acclimating.
