 Halloween
Everyone who knows me, knows that Halloween is my favorite holiday. Yes I know most don't consider it a holiday, but I do. Actually, it’s the only holiday I really enjoy. I can sum it up in one word, creative. My Husband recently pointed out to me that, in a Wall Street Journal article, people like me are called "Haunters". Most Halloweens we have done something, whether it was turning our side yard into a haunted maze, blacking out the garage and making my Husband aka "Dracula" lay in a coffin (which was very popular, so we did that for many years), until now, when a year ago we bought T.E.D. T.E.D. Is a 21' Necromancer. He's over the top, but very cool. Because of T.E.D., my Husband no longer has to lay in a coffin (that was the agreement when Husband allowed me to purchase him). There have been very few exceptions for us not to put on our fright-night, but now, one in particular stands out in my mind… Several years ago, we had to go to Ft. Lauderdale for one of my Husband’s work conferences. Can you guess what week-end it fell on, yep, Halloween. As per usual, Freado came with us. I just love pet friendly hotels, in particular, because of their consistency, The W Hotel, The Rits, and The Four Season, just to name a few. We had friends at the conference and since it was over Halloween and I couldn’t be doing my usual fright fest at the house, they brought a few surprise items along to ease my pain. They even brought a little costume for Freado. So sweet of them, right? That year, he was a pumpkin dog! He was really sweet to let me put it on him, although I don't think he felt orange was quite his color. This will be the first year in 14 years that I won’t have my special pumpkin dog by my side. |
