Happy Halloween from Our Corner of the World

Pep is wearing his Yankees uniform, even though his heart was broken by last night's final World Series game. 

I've been immersed in Halloween for the last week, including a very fun Halloween party in Oklahoma City last weekend. There are lots of decorations in the neighborhood and there were lots of trick or treaters. The weather was cooperative, both for our costumes last week and in New York City today. 

 I haven't worn a costume in years, but my group of friends decided to go to the Halloween party, very graciously hosted by my friend's sister, in costume. We arrived as a group of Christmas carolers. After a visit to Walmart we were all attired in plaid holiday pajamas. We definitely were a sight, but there was a lot of laughter and a very good time was had by all. Was anyone else in a costume this Halloween?  

My trip to Oklahoma was great. We did some sightseeing -- post to come -- shopping, laughing, catching up on the years since I've seen my friends (much too long!), a fun lunch out at a beautiful Mexican restaurant and eating ice cream. I discovered a new favorite ice cream store, Braum's, and for all of the above, hope for a return visit. 

As ever, thanks for visiting and hope your Halloween was a yummy one.

Sounds like you had a fun visit and a lot of fun with your friends, especially dressing in costume for a Halloween party. It’s been years since I have worn a costume. Looking forward to seeing future posts about your trip, Carol.

I think Halloween is kind of fun if you don't take it seriously. Loved to see it in New York!

That fella at Newark Airport is a hoot! I'd love to see a photo of your gang in your tartan pj's. What a fun idea!
