Welcome! I'm so happy to have had so many visitors already! I must apologize for not being ready for you earlier! I also apologize for the wacky font sizes throughout my post. No matter how hard I try, I can't correct them. If music doesn't begin playing shortly after your arrival, scroll down until you see a purple music widget begin to load in the left hand column and wait until you hear the music before scrolling back up here. Happy Halloween Fete 2009! Love and Spookiness to All! ~Jo (Continue scrolling down until the end of the post) Outside, it's a gloomy & cold day here on the NJ coast. Many a restless Spirit wander here on days like this. One can never be too sure if the fog & mist are just as they seem. Inside, it is warm yet equally frightful! Creepy crawlies have gotten into the food & drink, I so hope you don't mind! What with all of the party hopping we're doing, I didn't want you to bust a gut, so I've laid out some Pumpkin Cook...

I agree with what that passenger said! I hope you weren't stuck too long - did you make it to your daughter's?
It may be brutally cold but it's quite beautiful. I grew up in Northern California and the first real snow or cold weather I experienced was when I went away to school in Iowa. You'll probably roll your eyes and say "it's so overrated" but I would love to see ice on the ocean. Hope you're keeping toasty inside (and it would be even better if your neighbors are outside!)
Seeing the ice on the bay & the ocean never loses it's wonderous affect on me! (If you go to my "Links to more of me" on my blog and click on My Picasa (or Photo) albums, look for "Frozen Valentines" and you'll see our bay completely frozen over!)
Nor does taking a ride out on Sandy Hook to the Lighthouse at Fort Hancock in the off season or standing at the top of the Twin Lights, looking out at the ocean, at Sandy Hook, at New York, at Naval Weapon Station Earl(e?), or walking along the Marina here in town & looking out at the boats & the Ferry & the Navy base & Fort Hancock - all of which I've done more times than I can count (along with other things in this very beautiful area we moved to 3 years ago) and it's always like it's the first time I'm seeing these things!
Heck, I still get WAY excited from a prediction of snow to the point where if I do sleep, I'm always waking to check & see if it's started yet. When it snowed here this October before Halloween, I squealed with glee (as I always do when I see glorious flakes falling!) and called my Hubby, my Mom & my Aunt. I know, I'm a nut but it makes me happy!)
Hhhmmm, perhaps I'll post this as a comment on your blog too...
