For about a year, in every photo of my sister, she was wearing cowboy boots. I doubt she was half so startled as this scene suggests. I had a nylon stocking over my face and the pointed head is an illusion created by the fold of the sheet. I think it is interesting that the Frosty the Snowman plastic “ornament” is already out on the end table. Or perhaps it is still there from the Xmas before. At any rate, short of field mice or spiders, this is as scary as it ever got at my house.
The prompt word today is “Scary.”

That nylon stocking gives the illusion of you being wet. My first thought was that the “ghost” had just gotten out of the shower. 🙂

ha.. It occurred to me that it might not be obvious, thus the explanation. If you enlarge it you can see that my nose was flattened and my lips pulled up above my gums by the nylon over my head.

As I recall, you dressing up in various ways was not limited to Halloween. I think this must have been taken in December since Mother was fairly rigorous in her holiday decorating schedule back then. It was only in her later years that she brought out the Christmas decorations around Halloween. And why do I have those grubby boots on the couch? Shame on me.

I know. I had come to the same conclusion, but let my comment stand as the prompt was for Halloween. Aren’t I the unethical one?

I just took another look at the picture and laughed. Do you remember when all lampshades looked like dresses?
