Halloween at the Tuesday 4

 


Welcome back to Annie's Tuesday 4 ... presented each week in memory of Tony Taddeo.

Before we do, however, a big 
Thank You for sharing your candid thoughts on my funeral etiquette rant dilemma. 

Someone suggested, I might not know the whole story.
True that!
In addition to our covered dishes (and cookies) the widow ordered a huge box of deli sandwiches and sides.
Needless to say, there were lots of leftovers we divvied up at Bible study Monday morning.

This week, Annie asks ...


What's your opinion of Halloween?

I don't dislike it, but really miss the Halloweens of my childhood.
More often than not, my mother would sew my costume.  I believed she could do anything -- but she drew the line when I asked for a "Flying Purple People Eater" costume.

I'm the clown (jester?) preparing for Central Elementary's class parade.

In my father's uniform ... and yes, that was his (real) pistol.
Things were sure different back then.



We knew just where to go for caramel apples, handcrafted popcorn balls ... and whose house handed out nickels and dimes. 




Memories are important.   Some of them are seasonal good times.  What fall memories and traditions can you share with us?

The only thing that comes to mind are attending high school football games -- the crisp mountain air feeling delicious, even as we'd shiver in the bleachers.

Well, and this wee pooper. (heh-heh)
Made of cast iron, it originally belonged to my father and his siblings.  


My dad would insert a little ash pellet and strike a match.   The dog would 'do' the rest (pun intended), much to our glee.




Stews, soups and chili dishes warm the tummy on chilly fall days.  Have you a good recipe to share for a good fall dish?

How about




Fall is football season.  Are you a fan of any teams?  Do you watch games?

Back in the day, yes!
My former husband and I were rabid fans of the Dallas Cowboys, and for a few years attended most home games.  I subscribed to the Cheerleaders' monthly newsletter; and to this day, the Cowboy Wives' cookbook is a favorite.


Today, our house follows the SEC (War Eagle!) -- but my passion's waned.




Before I go, why not feast your eyes on this cute song 'n dance 


... brought to you by my talented musician/author friend, Jon, at Lone Wolf Concerto.
Stop by and say 'hello' sometime.  You'll be glad you did!







Hugs, Myra
