The tradition of dressing in costume for Halloween has both European and Celtic roots. Hundreds of years ago, winter was an uncertain and frightening time. Food supplies often ran low and, for the many people afraid of the dark, the short days of winter were full of constant worry. On Halloween, when it was believed that ghosts came back to the earthly world, people thought that they would encounter ghosts if they left their homes. To avoid being recognized by these ghosts, people would wear masks when they left their homes after dark so that the ghosts would mistake them for fellow spirits.

I'm hoping your St. Patrick's Day turns out just spectacular! I am going out for my corned beef and cabbage tonight with the hubby. No green beer though. I like full flavored beer. This Friday, I am going to Chicago for the first time since my 19 year old was in 5th grade! We are going to tour some of the museums and pick up the 3 new Savannah kittens we have bought! I am looking forward to meeting them! I remodeled the ferret's cage and added 2 hammocks for them, but I think I will have to add a 3rd because one is left out, since there are 3. Have a good one! Love and hugs, Erikanokomis
Hope the weather is being co-operative where you are... I'm hoping we don't get the predicted incoming storm tonight!I am having an extremely good day! I am not at work... woo hoo! I went out to lunch with my youngest son and we did a little shopping! "One needs something to believe in, something for which one can have whole-hearted enthusiasm. One needs to feel that one's life has meaning, that one is needed in this world!", by Hannah Senesh.

There are still issues with the inboxes. I'll get on it tomorrow and see if I can't figure out what the problem is. I apologize for any unusual things that may occur during this time. Maybe we really are haunted!?
