Happy Halloween (And My Giveaway Winner!)

All Hallow's Eve is finally upon us! It is a gloomy morning in Montana right now (which is exactly how it should be!) Last night, all dolled up, my Mom and I went to The Keep (a great restaurant perched on the hill South of town). We had requested a seat by the window and we could look out over the city and all the lights. We ate filet mignon, drank Fuzzy Navels. For dessert? She got cheesecake and I got chocolate mousse. Mmm!
What a great night! Did I mention the whole time I was in cat ears? He he he.

This is the best picture I could take at the restaurant because of lighting.

After returning home I packed all the little treat bags for today's trick-or-treaters. I always liked using treat bags filled with candy. So much more fun for the kids! I loved going out on Halloween night as a kid. My Dad would dress up too and walk me and my sister all over the neighborhood! Till we had enough candy or our fingers froze (whichever came first!). My Mom would stay home and light all the candles, turn on the autumnal classical music and greet all the little kids that went to our house. (And there were a ton who visited our house!)

My sister and I on Halloween years ago. I'm the tiger. :)

This year, is the first year I'll be home all evening and also in a house that kids go to. My old apartment looked a little spooky, on a rather spooky street. So, no kids. But this year is different! I will put my glowing pumpkin out front, light all the candles, and turn on the autumnal classical music and greet all the kids. I think my Mom would be proud. :)

Another picture of my sister and I. I was so excited to be a ghost that year!

I love the intense expression on my sister. LOL!

I hope everyone has a marvelous time tonight! And now to my giveaway winner! I drew out of a hat (with the help of my cat) and the winner is......
