We actually planted pumpkins so the above event could happen. . .Ironically, as it turned out we only got one pumpkin to mature by Halloween and it was NOT as big as this beauty that our neighbor offered to us. Grandpa and the boys, Sam, Tyler and Ryan did us proud with their skills.
Halloween turned out to be a warm evening, in stark contrast to those previous ones in which you had to wear jackets over your outfit, etc. I stayed home to man the front door, and would have totally been stood up if were not for Tyler, Ryan, Lauren, JJ (Jared) and Caroline. Thanks to them I got to hand out something.
I spent part of last week down in Phx with KT and D's family but mostly at the condo in Sun City helping with a little project that KT has going. I really enjoyed the time there.
Well, tomorrow is election day. I have prayed mightily that the good people of this country will get to the polls and vote. I hope they have studied the issues. . . and the people. I have found it easier to "liken the scriptures unto me", as I see how easily people are swayed by the "charisma" of people. It feels that many values I hold dear are not viewed as sophisticated enough for many of the elite. I'm not sure, . . . but I feel a "pride cycle" coming on.

Your Halloween sounded a lot like ours. I think Dean got to hand out candy to a grand total of 3 little munchkins. (I had to work!) As for the election -- well, like you, I am seeing "scripture revisited" and preparing for more difficult times to come. Are you having any reverberations from the "One Man, One Woman" marriage initiative in Arizona? L.A., Oakland, Newport Beach, San Diego, and Salt Lake City (just to name a few) have really been under attack! These are the times that will certainly try us!
Check out my blog -- I have more to say!
