Halloween Parade at the Mortensen Household

           Imagine, if you will, Halloween looming just outside your reach, and the desire of family members to have a parade, down the street from where, you, as a kid, had spent time doing your own little renaissance trick or treating. Now the family had grand kids and great grand kids, and all the extended family and relatives nearby wanted a piece of the action.  
           The kids had come in costumes ranging from a Mermaid, to Captain America, to the Harley Davidson Man, to one of the characters in Toy Story, don't ask me who, and the adults came in disguises that only Lucy in Disguise with Diamonds would recognize.
           After getting a few individual pictures, they all banded together and took a jaunt down Hoen  Court.  The neighbors all peeked out their windows, and some even came out to converse with the motley crew, as they passed by their homes on the Court.  
           When the procession ended, they all enjoyed a lunch from Togo's and then hopped in their vehicles and headed over to Howath Park, to continue the festivities with Ponies and Carousels, and later headed back to their personal domiciles.
           One never knows, but always wishes, for the holidays to come with family gatherings and lots of laughs and talks about personal histories and going home with fond memories.
