Shelley has a little contest running at the moment. Just post a comment about your favorite Halloween costume. Here are a few photos from Halloween’s long past…

My sister, Colleen, was a little devil (she kept sticking me and my uncle and aunt with her pitchfork) and I, of course, was the little angel. I think we’re about 3 and 4 years of age here (c. 1963).

Me and Colleen posing in our front yard on our Jack O’ Lantern. I’m missing my two front teeth so 5 and 6 years of age…maybe? (c. 1965)

Posing on my Momma’s bed, 1970. Colleen was a gypsy and I’m a flapper. My baby sister, Honey, is almost 9 months old. Funny how I can remember being the angel but I don’t remember this at all.

Halloween night
Author: Nancy Hughes

Gobbledy gooks,
spooky spooks,
moonlit sky,
witches fly.

Scaredy cats,
Eerie bats,
spiders spin,
pumpkins grin.

Doorbells ring
children scream,
“Trick or Treat”
It’s Halloween!
