Shel posted these Halloween pictures of Eliza from this year and last year.

When I saw them I thought, Oh I should have gotten my costume together last year and gone to Georgia to go trick-or-treating with Eliza. I went into the basement the other day and this is all I could find that was left over from past Halloween costumes.

Then I decided to take a look and see if I could find a picture from the last time my pumpkin costume was used.  I couldn't find one so I had Steph email this one to me.

This was from 1985 and was quite a pumpkin patch.  So I guess the vines continue to grow and produce new fruit.


While I was looking for the Pumpkin Patch picture I found several others that I thought I would post just for the fun of it.  Hope you enjoy the memories as much as Verna and I have.

Jumping ahead to 1989 we have another cowboy, a good looking woman, m&m's and what I would call a Dancing Wafflebird.


Halloween 1990 Joshua, Luke, David, Shel

Hope you enjoyed this trip down memory lane.  I know we had tons of fun making these memories and are looking forward to making many more.
