HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE...

Happy Happy Day (and Night) one and all...May the Spirits be kind and the monsters show mercy...

So what is everyone doing this evening? Halloween does not seem to fall often on a Saturday ...so I am guessing there will be much mirth and merriment...

We are having about 12 people over this evening...in costume ...for a night of good food, good libations and fun Games... I have been cleaning , cooking and organizing for 4 days ...

Now within 2 hours everyone will arrive... we are a crazy crew so things should be fun...I will pop pictures and post here in Bloglandia...

I myself am dressing as something I have never dressed as ...a Lady Pirate...actually it started out as a Wench, but in thinking about it...I preferred Lady Pirate with a heavy dose of wench added for good measure... this is a true first for me....but because I actually have a Lady Pirate in my Ancestry from the Bahamas I thought...what the hell...ARRRRRRRRRRRRR!!! I will have Richard pop a few shots of me in my get up... Richard is going as a Pirate...which actually headed me in this sea faring direction...

Can't wait to see everyones costume here...please please please everyone...post pictures and share....this is the part I really love...

Halloween Hugs to All ...I will be thinking of you on this Bewitching Night...when the Moon is so Bright...

Been a Busy Weirded out Weekend!!

Did you ever lose a few days where when you look back and with questions asked..."What did you do" ..the answer surly will be "Everything, Nothing, I'm not really sure,"!!! Well that was my weekend. It has been filled with a little of this and a ton of that, accomplishing something, but really nothing, finishing what was once started , and started that which may never find an end... and all the while tidying up from past weekends of folly!

So now it is Sunday ... what seems like a week long weekend has boiled down to this day...as a treat to myself (and I figure I REALLY EARNED a treat) I decided to read my favorite Blogs and catch up....so many WONDERFUL words out there, so much buzzing in the lives of my Cyber Friends ...makes me smiling uncontrollably.... but one blog caught my Eye and my Heart...

as often it does...my friend PAM'S BLOG . OK, it's not just cause she mentions me in her blog.. it's because her words always strike a cord that is so familiar to my soul. She writes from a place we have all been , her thoughts so descriptively displayed through verse , and she challenges you to be just the person you wish to be and KNOW you are deep down inside.... I like this in Writing... "My firm belief...and I stand by this till the End... never hide the child that remains in us all , for the child is freedom ..... it never judges, it never grades, it never restricts.... it only offers a happy side to life ...helping to find the 'other children' out there ...hiding.

Pam is one of the Happiest Kids I know whose Playful Side begs you to join in ... and all meet up on the Playground called life!!!

Her Blog is not to be missed....truly!

So yes...it is true....I sit here on an early Sunday Morning , sipping my cuppa Hot Joe... reading and typing while all the while wearing my Witch Hat ...and hugging tightly the season ...that beckons the child in us all...

Have a Child Like Sunday Everyone and go look for that piece of clothing in your closet that is begging to be scribbled on...I sure am.

Hugs,

Jodi
