Happy Halloween!

Hello Friends,

I’m ready!  My costume  looks great!  I carved my pumpkin and now it is a Jack O Lantern with a candle that makes the pumpkin glow in the night.  I put it by my front door to greet all the Trick or Treaters.   Does anyone know what trick or treat means?  Write back and let me know what you think it might mean. 

Well,  it is almost time!  Blackie and I are ready to go to the party.  Blackie did not want to go but, I convinced him he would have fun. 

Have an safe and FUN night, HAPPY HALLOWEEN to all my friends.
