It's so odd to feel like adding a writing about pumpkins and friends and life, followed by my last piece showing a photo of death. But I guess this is just a good example of how we must cope with such things, and why the need to 'go on with life', as we'd drive ourselves crazy with such news daily. I feel guilty but realize it's a must for my spirit. So here it goes...
Michael and I had a tradition that we started when we were both in college, at Chico State, and actually kept up until last year. We would have a pumpkin carving party with friends and lots of food. Sometimes we did it on Halloween night, in the early days, and then as time went by we did it when dates were available for our friends.
So far, we've only talked about having a carving party but no date set yet. And next Saturday, just days way from Halloween, we will not be in town, so it just might not happen again this year. But... Michael and I were talking about maybe changing our little tradition. We thought why not do it after Halloween? It's still fall and pumpkins are still part of the Thanksgiving holidays, so I think we will start with this new tradition. And I'm looking forward to it. We decided instead of spooky things we'll just carve out horns of plenty and a turkey. Yea, right! LOL!
Anyways, we are looking forward to doing something different and new.
