School did some decorating, getting that autumn touch into our lives. Even though it is hard to believe with degrees into the 80’s. Autumn back home is much, much colder.

We will celebrate Halloween at Frank and Margret. They live in a neighborhood that has less rentals, thus more locals than in our neighborhood. Chances are, Halloween is celebrated there more than at ours so more trick or treat and more people dressed up.

Camy wanted to get dressed up so we took a look at what Margret had available. She decided to get dressed up like Piet Pirate or even better Camy of the Caribbean.

Unfortunately it is hard to take pictures in the dark with my phone, so they do not turn up real good but lets hope it gives you an idea of what she looked liked. The neighborhood was decorated real nice and everybody did their utmost. And the best part for me, no coats or jackets, try that on November 11th in Holland. So everybody sits out in their front yard waiting for everybody to stop by their homes. The only thing you need to do is walk up to the front door, say “trick or treat” and you are given all kinds of candy, easy peasy!

Frank, Margret, thank you for a wonderful evening, it was awesome to participate and see up close how the Americans celebrate Halloween, thank you!
