October Update Revisited

Halloween!  I like this holiday.  I like the time of year, with its brisk weather. I like mildly scary stuff (not the awful stuff).  I LOVE costumes, although I haven't dressed up now for several years.  I LOVE seeing the kids in their costumes, all excited to try out a new persona for a few hours.  I get a big kick out of watching to see what kids choose to dress up as.  Remember when that was the toughest decision you had to make?  My school had a family Halloween dance put on by the PTO.  I carved a couple of Jack-o-lanterns and volunteered to help.  It was so much fun but I couldn't stay.  I went out to my car to get my costume and discovered that my car wouldn't start.  My co-worker offered to jump start it for me but she was leaving so I figured I'd better take her up on it and and just get home.  Last weekend, Monte took me to a Gophers game at the new TCF stadium on the University of Minnesota Campus. Anna and Jeff came with us. It was really pleasant.  The weather had been rainy and cold all week and the forecast said it would rain and be in the 50s.  I dressed warm, so of course I was dressed too warm.  The sun came out and it was beautiful!  The game was fun to watch - despite the fact that the Gophers lost. I ate hot dogs and popcorn and pop - woo hoo!  After the game we went out for curry.  We discovered that Anna does NOT like curry but Jeff just may.  Monte, on the other hand was not impressed with the restaurant I picked.  Ah well, my curry was great.  I enjoyed spending time with my husband and brother and sister in law.

Always fun to spend time with family. Are the hotdogs at good as the dome dogs? Those are my favorite! Yum.
