What a doll!

 

Megan was working diligently on her halloween costume all day.  She is so creative and talented.  Meg is a die hard Star Wars fan.  She has been almost obsessive like a lot of people, I guess, since she was ten years old.  I am impressed with the things she is able to create, her never ending knowledge of this phenomenon that George Lucas gave to the world.  Megan could tell you all there is to know about the movies, books, the actors, the costumes, writers, directors, producers - anything at all about Star Wars.  It just blows me away.

 

I worked on various projects until it was time to pick Drew up from school.  We went shopping to pick up halloween candy and things.  In our neighborhood, they have started a tradition where someone puts a gift bag together with candy and halloween trinkets, they tape a note with a ghost on your door that says, "Boo!"  and leave the bag there.  Each child in that house gets a bag from a "phantom" giver, and then the favor is to be returned to another house in the neighborhood with children.  I don't know if I am explaining it right, but it's a great little tradition and everyone has such fun.  Drew was Boo'd on Sunday, so according to tradition, we had to pick three kids to boo back the very next day.  Well, it's three children or three houses with children in them.  We picked a house with four little girls.  I had so much fun putting together their gift bags.  Hopefully, they will enjoy them, too.

 

Oops, it's late, I'm tired, I need to try to get some sleep.  I have chemo tomorrow, and it's a new one - actually it will be two chemos.  I have to have one chemo every day for three weeks, then one chemo once a week for three weeks.  Yippee Ki Yay!  I can hardly wait.  At least they give me happy drugs and I can be comatose for part of it.

 

One more thing, Gary brought us to Red Lobster for dinner because I was still feeling good.  He is so wonderful that way.  Drew had crab legs.  What a kick!  he know how to crack crab legs and has known how to since he was three.  I didn't even eat crab legs until I was in my thirties! (my financial status didn't allow such luxurious meals.  Taco Bell and Micky D's was about my speed).  Gary had fish, and Megan and I shared the Big Feast Platter.  I was alright until I got home.  Then Gary took care of me while I was sick.  That always happens when I eat supper.  You'd think I would learn.  But He is so wonderful.  I am blessed to be so loved...
