Happy Halloween

Halloween began in Ireland as the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain. Celts believed that on the night before the new year, the boundary between the worlds of the living and the dead became blurred. On the night of October 31st, they celebrated Samhain, when it was believed that the ghosts of the dead returned to earth.

Sandy has finished playing tricks on us in central New York so we're gearing up for tonight's Halloween 2012 festivities.  A few years ago, the school discontinued their costume Halloween parade so Miss Bailee just wore her festive pumpkin dress this morning. Tonight she will be transformed into Betsey Ross and trick or treat with her own personal, human flag!! We look forward to going to Aunt Kelly's as she always has the neatest decorations and the best treats.  First we'll head to see all the folks at Groton Nursing Home and give them a treat. Great Grandma will enjoy our visit...Then off to the Village's Halloween parade and costume judging!

Shhhh.. the cottage is getting paint today and will be ready to "move in" this week-end!!!
Mum(my)s the word......
