[blparent] Halloween?

[Veronica Smith]

A few years ago we went to a costume party.  I threw an old white sheet over
my head.  I cut out a hole where the mouth went, then tied a rope around my
neck and put on an old cowboy hat.  I looked like I had just got off the
hanging stand.  The funny thing about this costume was that I had my cane
under the sheet and no one could see it.  Because there were no cut outs for
eyes, several people walked up to me and asked if I could see out.  Welll,
you know I answered, "no."  that really freaked them out.  When it got time
to eat, I just helped myself through the mouth hole.  Anyway, I wond first
place for the outfit.  I guess it did look earie, me walking around and not
bumping into anything. V

I'd never thought about doing costumes at church before, but we have a small

congregation, and a couple of the girls asked if they could wear theirs.  So

then the Sunday school teacher, my friend Cathy, decided she would go as a 
Southern belle because she has an old wedding dress she's planning to dye 
purple.  She wants me to figure out something, too.

The best costume I ever had was the cat suit my mom made me when I was maybe

around ten years old.  It was a black body suit, even with feet and mittens 
and a hood with ears.  I had a tail and even a bow around my neck with bells

on it.  I don't think I'll ever manage anything like that for Sarah, but I'm

thinking she'll like dressing up anyway.  She's old enough to go to a few 
doors with Gerald and get candy, though I'll be pretty selective about what 
she gets to eat.
