[My] Life in Wisconsin

HAPPY NOVEMBER!

Good Morning!


Halloween is OVER already-     But the storytelling of it sure isn't!!!  I have been on here for too long already- and have read about the fun; the freaks, the fanatics- and the fearless- ...and a few of the 'fearfuls'  too!


I fall into the latter category- Not being prudish about it all,  but being awed by the masks...  I don't like 'em. Nope, not a mask! Not me!  Too scary for me!!!


I very much prefer a cowboy or a spiderman costume...

I don't mind the weird makeup...   


...But we found out that our Little Isaiah surely did when Casey had materialized from the bathroom WAY different than when she went in!   He didn't stop crying 'til... (he's probably still crying about that one)!  


He didn't mind his vampish Aunt Roberta; nor even his own mother who had turned a ghastly shade of green...

But Auntie Casey was a WHOLE 'NOTHER STORY!

And then to have "Sister Grandma"  to want to take a group photo was just too much as he found himself right next to the lady of his nightmares! 

WAY TOO MUCH!

They were planning on hitting the big city of Pulaski to go trick or treating this year, but Mother Nature ixnayed that destination fast enough- (After all, it is MUCH warmer in the mall)!  By the time they got to Bay Park Square,  there were already many places devoid of candy- but they had much fun even strutting their stuff!   


While they were all at the mall, Miss Zoe and Miss Valerie had come out here- (I had almost given up hope seeing them, but they had so many other places to go to also)-   And getting Valeries own makeup on sure wasn't easy for Zoe either...


Well worth the wait for me...

to see what a very cute witch Miss Valerie had become!

Zoe and Eric had celebrated too... Herself as a Bingo Bitch, and himself as the Grim Reaper...


(What? Waiting to take her away)?...

Jenne and Myself-            and then Miss Valerie and Myself    too...

I told Casey to drive and offered my Rendezvous for them to all pile into while they went out and about...    Which they gladly accepted!   Jennifer opted to take her own car back into town though-  And then the freakiness began for Miss Casey and Roberta...   As they were leaving the mall, my car did something I have never even ever heard about before, let alone experieced...  As Casey was backing out, she had to pull forward again-  Putting the car in drive, she touched the gas a bit, and then the brake...  NO BRAKES!!!    And the now possessed Buick kept going in reverse!!!   How very scary for them all- And not too happy to hear about this either as there were 2 of my children and one of my grandchildren in that vehicle...    (thank God it is still under warrenty)-    The boys at Gustmans in Kaukauna will be getting an earful very shortly.  


Has anyone else ever heard of a car going in reverse while the lever is clearly in DRIVE???  And why did the brakes malfunction???    


After shutting it off for a few awful moments (while they tried to regain some semblance of composure), CaseyAnne started it up again- and the car was fine?   Please let me know what this could possibly be???   Oh just give me a '63 Chevy- I can fix ANYTHING on that one!!!   Those were the 'Good Ole Days' (in the history of the automotive industry anyway)!  And no more of these malfunctioning computers in our cars either!   While I don't mind if my PC does this at home, (wait, yes I do), but it is relatively safe if it does... This car BS could have been doom and gloom-


I'd better close-    I have a phone call to make!


Hope your own Halloweens were as grand as mine!   And yes, if I can just eliminate the possessed Buick; and realize that Little Lawrence was trick or treating and having fun in Alabama too,  I will know it was a grand holiday!


 


XOXO

Anne


aka "Sister Grandma" 


Um, wait-  That's just WRONG!


(And sure doesn't sound like a proper family tree to me)........
