Mime:
The art or technique of portraying
a character, mood or idea
by gestures and movements, Pantomime
What’s so wonderful about having a friend like Deb since grade eight (go ahead, do the math), is how effortless it is to spend time together. Nothing you say or do can be too shocking. They’ve seen you at your shiny best and if you’re human, at your tarnished worst. We grew up on the north side of town, when everyone was just hard-working and community minded. A lot of people have moved on. Some, like my brother Wayne and Deb still live in the old hood, which is nice because you can still get all the neighborhood news.
Thanks for showing me a good time my friend, and for not making me sit at the table with the clown. You know they freak me out, but mime’s the word.
Let us be grateful for people who
make us happy, they are the charming gardeners
that make our souls blossom.

Great photos! Congratulations on the loot. What will you do with it?
I’ve always loved that quote. It’s one of my favs! Happy Halloween Kelly and Deb. Friendships like yours are priceless.

Alys, you are up late! Let me see, I bought a Starbucks Sunday Morning and a couple of things for my Winter Pot and some Tiny bottle Brush trees for Christmas….that’s about as far as it went. I hadn’t seen that quote before, but when I found it for the post, I knew it was perfect in so many ways. 😉 I’ve been lucky to have a couple of friends from childhood still in my life. Funny how they’re both Debbies? Thanks for complimenting my photo’s. I had to fix them up in edit. Hard to get lit pumpkin pictures right with a cheapo camera. 🙂 Happy Halloween Dear Friend.

Awww, thanks Sheryl but yah there were some amazing costumes there. I tried to take photo’s but it was so dark not too many turned out. The 2nd runners up were a couple dressed as ‘The Matrix’, pretty cool and the Winner was a girl dresses as ‘Poisin Ivy’ (I guess it’s from a spiderman movie?).

I’ve never heard of Poisin Ivy. I guess that I haven’t kept up with the spiderman movies.
