Halloween 2011

Halloween is one of the days of the year that I miss my

babies being young.

Many memories of Tarpon Heights Halloween

come back every year.

This year I did what I have done for the last 5 years

while living on Lee Drive,

Locked up the house, shut off the lights

and hid.

Trick or treating is not safe in my neighborhood.

(I thought i had no pictures of BG in her famous lion king

suit but here is one!)

But back in the days of Tarpon Heights,

it was a block party every year.

Our whole family came over for hotdogs and homemade chili

made by me and all it costed was bags of candy

because in Tarpon Heights, everyone trick or treated.

It was not unusual to give over 400 grab bags.

All the neighbors had their own block parties

and it was a time that everyone visited and it was fantastic!

It is one of the few things I miss about the younger days.
