After lunch, Drew & I shared a pot of this tasty tea for dessert!
This is a cup of Yummy, with flavors of coconut, cream, & a hint of lime.
We sipped & slurped. It’s Halloween, & we haven’t really done Halloween for a couple of years, so I said, “I think me & you & Leif should dress like Pirates & hand out candy”. So at 3:00 I went to the salt room, Drew went & bought candy, then we came home & pulled out my ‘dress up’ box, which is full of belly dance clothes, a variety of scarves, cloaks, pin on flowers, all kinds of things. I used to Belly Dance, I used to play at a renaissance festival, I also ride a Harley, so between all that stuff, we put last minute costumes together. When Leif got home from his college classes, we were setting things up on the front porch.
Drew (age 23) wore a scarf, a tie-die jacket, he held a 3 prong garden tool in one hand which I wrapped a scarf around (so it was his ‘hook’), & tie die baggy pants.
Leif (20) wore my old renaissance festival cloak, a bandana covering one eye, & a black beret.
I wore purple harem pants tucked into black harley riding boots, a white lacy shirt, my black harley leather vest, a scarf on my head, an ugly necklace, & an eye patch.
We sat out on the front porch, with “Yo Ho Yo Ho a pirate’s life for me” playing over and over again, singing along with the recording we had downloaded, stomping in unison, speaking pirate lingo to all the little kids, threatening to make them swab the deck & walk the plant & such, and making plans for next year. LOL, it was a great night!

What great fun! Your grown kids are like mine and still play! We are fortunate indeed!
Yes, we are! It was a good time, & my 2 daughters stopped by with the 3 grandkids. My daughter Jess said, “This is the funnest house in the neighborhood!” That felt good!
ARRRRR! I want to come to your house, matey!
Sounds like lots of fun! :)
That sounds like a blast! :D
It was a blast! I forgot how much fun Halloween can be, & the boys & I have already decided that next year we’re going to turn the front porch into a the deck of a ship: We’ll need sheets for sails, a jolly rodger flag, & some other stuff. I will also say, there weren’t nearly as many trick or treaters as there should have been, & I want to start a movement to ‘Bring Back Halloween’.
It would be fun to do something next year. This year’s kind of a bust because of Sandy—there was even a bulletin on the county’s web site, saying that trick-or-treating was postponed ‘til tomorrow. I understand why it had to be done, but still, that’s just odd.
I say the pictures on facebook, you guys looked Awesome!
