Halloween Pics ...
I hope everyone had an enjoyable Haloween - the weather was AWESOME for the trick or treaters !! Jim and I went out with the kids, grandkids and others - a total of 12 - and visited many decked out homes in the Norton area. One home had a haunted house theme which we walked through .. very creative !!! It's such a FUN holiday and it's so great to see everyone being silly - a nice break from the day to day grind !!
