October Blog

Hello ,

It's October month .. Time for Trick n Treating .. candies... kids dressed up in halloween arrays... Parents taking pictures to make memories... Pumpkin hunting .. hayrides..........

Childhood memories that go way back when I was little girl .. I love Halloween decorations .. the themes. I was on army base going to house to house getting candies with my Dad . I remembered this house was filled with haunted stuff and all , It creeped me out , This is when i was 7 or 8 years old . Me being deaf can't hear the sounds but my dad did . He told me "Angel, it's ok go up there and get what you need and say bye " so I went up to that house that was famous repuated for HAUNTED . I was dressed up as GHOST .. sheet all over my body with 2 poke eyes.. that was what I remembered. Anyway , Walking up to the door full of webbed stuff and what I didn't know music coming from living room . The guy came up to the door unknown to me that was my dad's general- He opened the door and looked at me and screamed. I didn't know what he was screaming at for .. I found out later he was trying to scare me , He failed at that . LOL . He stopped screaming and gave me few candies and stood there proudly looking at my father who was laughing at HIM , His General . This was in Fort Belvior , Virginia back in the 80's . I looked at my father and asked him " why was his face so red? " My dad said " he was trying to scare you but YOU can't hear him - that is why his face was RED " . I smiled and went on hunting for more candies in the half hour that night of halloween .

General lost his voice the next day :)~

I love halloween because I can't hear the screams but I sure can RUN like hell ... Freak me out every halloween when something spooks at me. My dad is in his 60
's and still take his grandchildren out to halloween treats . He love halloween like his own passion which I would understand how he live and breath halloween each year. He destest EGG on the door the night of halloween and TP on the trees , Kids would do that to his house the next day it freezes overnight from the temp that drops . (We live in masschuttess ) .


Now to this ODE to halloween .. Here's a poem

"Live long Hallow' night "

Live long Hallow' night
children go hunting for candies
Dressing up is fun
Pictures being flashed .
Mommy and Daddy go trickin' with children

While children delights in lights
Sounds
Creepy things
Children scream the night away on Hallow' night

Parties being set up all over nation
While we celebrate Halloween on 31st every year.
Supersistion fall prey on us
Black cats walk in front of us
Toliet papers on trees
Eggs being thrown on windows
Cars
Doors
We hate that part ...

We generation by generation celeberate
Live long Hallow's night
