The Day After

I just read The Old Sourdough's Oct. 31 post and wish I'd read it yesterday! I pulled my post to add this link as her advise is good for all year!!!!!!


Our Halloween was disappointing, because our street, once brim full of goulies and ghosties, was totally deserted last night. I had a bowl of candy ready, including something new that got me all excited..Body Parts Candy! Yes, eyes, fingers, feet, and teeth each in its own little wrap....perfect. This is the first Halloween I can remember that my children and grandchildren didn't launch their trick or treat excursions from an early Halloween supper here. So I was pretty bummed when I had no takers for the body parts that nestled so innocently among the M & Ms and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.

Then there was a a loud knock at the door, and who should we see but our neighbors who were not begging for treats, but delivering Halloween plates of spicy, warm from the oven, pumpkin cookies!




Under that tousled hair and makeup are our neighbors, the artists Roger Asay and Rebecca Davis. Granny J of Walking Prescott showed you their flagstone sculpture in her post of the Yavapai College Sculpture garden, mentioning how intriguing she found it, how many photos she had taken, and how hard it was to choose which to use for her post.
Roger and Rebecca are the heart of our neighborhood, hosting parties and potlucks that bring us together to keep us true neighbors rather than just a number of people who happen to live on the same street. They, of all the people I know, have the key to celebrating the moments of life!
Thanks you two, and the cookies are delish! I just had two for breakfast!
