Holidays and Family

Last week was wonderful.  We celebrated Thanksgiving with 13 people and my great grandson.  A lot of work, but well worth it.  Many friends and family as well.  It was my husband's favorite holiday so we keep the tradition going and feel like he is still with us.  It was our anniversary week as well and today would have been my son's 53rd birthday.  So a lot of sentiment going on.

Back from Atlanta where I attended a conference…

Halloween Past

I never realized that Halloween has turned into one of the most important adult holidays.  To me, it always takes me back to my hometown of Albany, NY and going from door to door to get my "treats."   It was a great adventure, not only because of the costume I got to choose, but because I was always amazed by the haul of candy I got.  Back then, pennies and nickels were appreciated too and you never had to worry about "strangers" or getting anything that wasn't o.k. to eat.

The best thing about Halloween in Miami Beach is Lincoln Rd.…
