Family

TBG and I manned the homefront while the kids trick or treated. 

Neighbors dropped in, new ones introducing themselves and creating instant friendships. Pebbles and BamBam, butterflies and ghosts, Merida and Rapunzel and Belle.....we doled out  candies and compliments with reckless abandon.

The cousins ran from house to house then reconvened in front of the fire pit SIR set up in his driveway.  The other grandparents arrived, chili was eaten al fresco, candy was examined by firelight.

Though I reek of woodsmoke my heart is full.
