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.

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...

Hope that you are feeling better! Keep your chin up!
I think of Jersey as a rural state. I guess that's because I was weaned on Jersey tomatoes.
I think it is not considered a Mid-Atlantic State.
What do you think about Pennsylvania, Cyndi?
I think people are unaware of just how much country and rural areas we have in both states.
Really nice pics, Jo!
I know NJ has a lot of cities, but I really don't think of it that way because I am use to the farmlands and the suburbs and the shore towns of Southern NJ. Of course, much of the farms of southern NJ have disappeared too, but there are still more than people realize.
In any event, so much beautiful country and scenery to see!
Thanks for sharing.
