We celebrated our first Halloween with Langston Lulu and she was a great sport, very indulgent of our adolescent behavior. Stormey & Badi had a two gallon bucket of candy which we distributed to the trick or treaters and we finally doused the lights at 9:00 when the last of the candy was given away. Needless to say, trick or treating has not lost its appeal for Salemites.

Hallelujah! Dick is on the mend, walking sans crutches and once again enjoying our very fair weather in Salem as we stroll the neighborhood daily. So far we've really enjoyed the cool days and nights and the rain is really a mist to us compared to the Florida rain.

Casper loves the cooler weather, is much friskier and has improved considerably since avoiding the stairs of the St. Augustine home. He has also become friendlier, less skittish, and has bonded with Sooki, Stormey,Badi', & Langston's family pup.

We finished the painting yesterday in time for the installers to start their five day project on Tuesday. Here's hoping all goes well.

Hope everyone had a fun halloween!
