Good morning. I remember being issued a UNICEF box at school and carrying it with me as I trick-or-treated. Everyone had coins prepared in piles to hand out along with candy. That was back in the day when some neighbours made you perform a trick before they’d hand you a treat. When we immigrated to Canada, from England, we arrived in October. On Halloween we went to my aunt/uncle/cousins’ house (they’d immigrated two years prior) and stayed in because we had no idea what the heck was going on. That was the first and only time I was ever scared on Halloween. 👻
I tried a Hurricane my first time in New Orleans. I couldn’t believe I could walk down the street with it and kept waiting for someone to stop me. That was a fun trip.
I won’t be making butternut squash risotto but I will be roasting it to go with our roast pork and Brussels sprouts this evening. I had some use-or-lose bananas so I’ve made a lovely banana nut bread for dessert.
I haven’t been around or posting much these last few weeks. Some devastating health news from a family member kind of shut me down, along with some other issues. Posting in this thread, today, shows me that I’m coming out of it. Now that I am starting to function, again, I have a lot to do.
Healing thoughts and prayers go out to those who need them. I will take a look at Father David’s sermon later, @grapau27. Thank you. Have a peaceful day, everyone.
