A good jump-out-at-you, “Boo!” always makes me chuckle.  However, Mother Nature pulled a good one on us in Ridgefield, CT.  With 20 inches of snow on our deck, we are waiting to hear carolers singing, “Jingle Bells,” instead of the doorbell ringing followed by, “Trick or Treat!”  No electricity for two days, no school, and Mother Nature is the only one in a costume all in white.  I’m still trying to decide if this is a trick or a rare treat.  While Mother Nature decides what to do, take a look at a real Halloween treat, one that keeps me smilin’ because after all these years of marriage his smile still jumps out a me…it is Mr. De Young dressed as a sailor.

No wonder I fell in love with him!
