About lifelessons

My blog, which started out to be about overcoming grief, quickly grew into a blog about celebrating life. I post daily: poems, photographs, essays or stories. I've lived in countries all around the globe but have finally come to rest in Mexico, where I've lived since 2001. My books may be found on Amazon in Kindle and print format, my art in local Ajijic galleries. Hope to see you at my blog.

      I was visiting him during Halloween the year I took this photo and we’d bought all those Reeses Bars to give the kids who came Trick or Treating. Usually he would buy the candy, turn off his porch light so no one would come to the door and eat the candy himself. That year I made him turn the porch light on so I could see all the kids in their costumes and pass out treats. Obviously, this is a staged shot, although he did put away a good many Reeses bars! I love seeing the costumes and handing out the candy, since for 46 of my past years I’ve lived in places where Halloween wasn’t celebrated or where I lived in such a remote place that no kids came there. When I lived in Wollongong, my roommates and I threw a Halloween party and had a sign on our house that said Bulli cemetery. We were all dressed as witches and all our party guests were in costume. Our neighbors called the police!!! They thought terrible things were going on inside. Ha. When we explained to the police that we were all teachers in the local schools and that it was just a party, they left empty-handed, no prisoners in tow.

      I’m glad you appreciated the Statue of Liberty as a friend thought it didn’t belong. I’m remembering the thrill of seeing it with two friends from my youth..one of whom I hadn’t seen in 30 years or more.
