One of the goals in locating in Florida was to have a close connection with our daughter's young family. BSB married a 3 generation Floridan and they live only 7 minutes from our home. It has been more rewarding than I could ever tell you. Being close to some of your family is a truly wonderful and glorious experience that enriches our lives more than we could have ever expected.
Halloween was only a night for kids when I was growing up but here in Florida everyone gets into the act. Hubby D and I embraced the holiday with yest! At our Country Club we had a halloween party for adults and a separate party for the kids. It was a hoot!
In preparation for the big night BSB had a pumpkin carving party at her house.

On Halloween night BSB, her husband and LW came over to "golf cart" trick or treat. First we stoped off at good friends TG and NG for a "Trick or Drink" and then we hit our neighborhood where waves of kids with parents following behind in golf carts were going door to door for chocolates, sweet tarts, twix, candy corn, skittles and other goodies.

| Last year LW was an astronaut. |
 |
| This year BSB outdid herself and LW was a very authentic fighter pilot. WOW! |
 |
| Our next door neighbors had a spook house inside their garage. LW must have gone inside 10 times showing everyone all the moving parts. He was enthralled by it. |
 |
| In the end, like every child, he surveyed his haul. (His dad and Hubby D assisted in "sorting" out the best.) |
It was a super fun holiday and made even more fun having LW lead the way. Life is good.
Cheers,
Brenda
