Speaking of My Dad......

In my last post I mentioned my dad. Where he lives, in the northeast US, people go all out decorating for Halloween. It's as big as Christmas and getting bigger every year. It's really cool to see. Complete homes done up like spider webs, graveyards, or a mish mash of everything. I love taking a walk around there to see what everyone has done.

Some people even decorate the public sidewalk. To get by a house you may have to walk through a spiderweb, or grab your nerves as something falls through the trees right above you. You may round a corner and hear some creepy sound effects. I love it.

The fact that so many people get involved decorating just encourages more decorating. One guy I spoke to says he adds something to his yard each day, right up to Halloween. He starts October First. That's a lot of stuff!

The great thing is, there are many people just like me walking around in the evening taking in all the sights and sounds. What great community spirit. Hey, I made a joke. Halloween. Community spirit.
Ok, time to stop writing.
