Sharon...Lynne: That's pretty much what we did!<br /><br />Sharon: I'm not aware of a Beatles museum. It might have been this guy! He runs a shop called St Johns Wood Collectibles about a block away from Abbey Road, and it's full of Beatles stuff.<br /><br />Ms Moon: Yeah, as holidays go it's not so bad, but I wish we weren't so thoroughly Americanizing the entire planet.<br /><br />Sabine: What a place to live! Wow! We loved it there.<br /><br />Linda Sue: Yeah, Salad Fingers is the best! Fortunately Margery Stewart-Baxter tastes much better than Hubert.<br /><br />Ellen: Lucky you!<br /><br />Bug: I am always impressed at the detail with which some people (like you!) remember dreams.<br /><br />Jenny-O: Nah, she doesn't mind. She's used to it. We compare her to a cow all the time, and call her the "bovine croissant" when she curls up on the couch.<br /><br />Elizabeth: Well, undoubtedly dreams are related to our experiences, since they have to draw from those. But I've never been certain they're all that significant. And yeah, Kit Kats are intense! Candy in general -- I don't know how I used to eat so much of it as a kid.

I think they're fascinating and certainly reflections of different parts of ourselves as well as a sort of collective unconscious.<br /><br />Halloween was sort of a wash in my neighborhood, and I felt entirely disconnected from it. My boys are older, and while they dressed up, they went to parties instead of trick or treating. I ate a few Kit Kats and felt sick afterward. God, those things are SWEET!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03313726816776097840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-21939332771566402262015-10-31T22:35:29.391+00:002015-10-31T22:35:29.391+00:00"sort of like Olga, or maybe a Holstein"..."sort of like Olga, or maybe a Holstein"<br /><br />LOL! I hope Olga doesn't take offense!<br /><br />We are having a pretty good run of kids trick or treating tonight - mostly in zombie costumes.

Mike loves to dress up & hand out candy - and he's VERY generous so we usually run out.<br /><br />That salad fingers is CREEPY! Ha!<br /><br />P.S. Last night I dreamed that I was stuck at the office because I locked my keys in my car. While I was trying (& failing) to call AAA, they moved someone else in to share my office. She had a fire extinguisher in a bucket under her chair & while she was out it caught on fire. I doused it with water from my water bottle, all the while wondering, "do you put water on a fire extinguisher fire?"

And I have outgrown it I am afraid, I just halloween and fancy dress when ever the mood strikes. (loved the article on Fb re: middle age, by the way!) Salad fingers of course a fave in this house ! Poor Hubert Cumberdale does not taste very nice...but we all love the red water when it flows! Thanks for taking me back to when the boys were here and so much fun!

I doubt it is overshadowing Day of the Dead yet, but it's definitely a bigger thing now than it was. <br />People just like to dress up in costumes, I guess. And candy is always good. And it's the one holiday that doesn't make me feel guilty about something so it's fine with me.

When I visited "the crossing" two years ago (has it been that long) some guy gave me a flyer about a Beatles museum that he said was just down the road. He was really trying to drum up business with everyone who came by the corner.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07645915869786296771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-69277858642370431482015-10-31T13:39:53.321+00:002015-10-31T13:39:53.321+00:00Love the Beatles!
