When I was but a wee one, my mother had the best gift for us on Halloween one year. She worked all day while we where at school and gathered all things ghostly and decorated the woods beside our house. Some time after supper that night. She hinted that she heard some strange noises in the woods earlier that day and she thought we should get all dressed up in our boots and coat and go see what in the world had taken place. Well, we looked at her with squirrel in the headlight eyes and said "You have got to be kidding, I 'm not going out there in the dark"
She just looked at us and said :Oh, I think we best go see anyway"
So, griping and grumbling like we did so well, we got ready and grabbed a flashlight , and off we went. Scary to say the least,. Mind you we lived in no mans land woods. Here we where scared outta or whits and trapceing through woods with all the night sounds scaring the living daylights outta us. Ghosts hanging by the neck in the trees, lanterns lining the paths, witches and ghouls jumpin from behind trees, wolves howling, zombies grinding bones and on it went for the full extent of the walk to the ancient old graveyard that was on the property. We walked around and read the names on the stones and talked about what the people in the graves must be thinking as we walked with light feet through the scariest night of my life.
Thanks Mom for the great Halloween Ever!
You inspired me from that night forward to make even the simplest things seem Giant everyday.
Love to you and all the goblins in the world this All Hallow's Eve
