I Wonder Wye: '05 Halloween party

'05 Halloween party

I'm looking for some of my earlier costumes but here is an '05 Halloween party we had. Dad as Richard Nixon. (Note the button. Sure he wasn't).

"Julia Child" (actually a former professional chef) with mom, the leopard woman.

My friend the Mad Professor, who helps decorate for three weeks before, digging graves and stringing ghouls in the woods and front. Couldn't do it without J's extensive collection of all things Halloween!

Two ivory-billed woodpeckers. They were awarded a brain shaped candle for their 'best of show' attire.

Some of the food. Note the green deviled eggs (avacado) and ghoulish finger candles....

Please Allow Me to Introduce Myself......

Having lived in the east and the west, I've found myself back in my home state of the south - not the 'deep' south; we like to think of ourselves as pioneers and our state as the 'jumping off place' to beginning a westward journey, like so many migrating pioneer families considered us to be in the 1800s.

My husband "Excy" and I run a wild mustang sanctuary (www.wingspur.org -- that's our 'wild bunch' running across the header up there), and are being bossed around by tons of wild and domestic animals. We seldom get a chance to get away anymore, but that's okay.

I am a former magazine editor and was working for a national nonprofit when I had to go on disability in '97. Now I freelance articles and edit for a publishing house and private clients. Like most everyone out there, I have a few screenplays and mostly-completed novels in a drawer. I'm also failing to learn how to play the hammered dulcimer. Can't read music, just play by ear. But I have slowly mastered some civil war-era and folk songs.

I started blogging because a friend thinks I'm funny and I'd be good at it, and because it's way more fun than Facebook.
