For the first time in 31 years I think, we dressed up for Halloween. Went to a party friday night, and put our costumes back on tonight to frolick around the yard a bit.
The last time was in 1976, when we were living in the Main Street house in Ketchikan. Our house had a big Halloween party. At least I think that's where it was...I think I dressed as a prostitute. Rich wore a suit and went as a politician. Terry Gardner, who was our state legislative representative at the time, was at the party. Rich didn't know who he was, and introduced himself as a politician. Funny memories.
So what we wanted to do tonight was get some of the other neighbors to also dress up like skunks (in case you couldn't tell from the photos what we were), and go trick or treating with us at Ken and Vickie's new house. One of the reasons they finally decided to sell their old house was because the summer before they had skunks move in to their crawl space. They had to go to great labor and expense to get rid of the skunks and their lingering odor.
None of our neighbors cooperated with us though, so we remained content to frolick in the yard for a few minutes to take the photos, leave costumes on long enough to see if we got any trick or treaters, which we didn't of course, and eat some spagetti. Exciting times, here.
Happy Halloween!

Truly. I am speechless.

Now I'm remembering more. The prostitute costume was because we had only recently moved from Creek Street. I think my friend & former roommate Jamie and I both dressed as Creek Street ladies. http://www.sitnews.net/JuneAllen/Star/022104_star.html
it was number 5 that we lived in, from September 1975 until we moved to the Main Street house in the early fall of 1976.
Adorable! :)
That's right! You guys lived in # 5, too. First place I lived in Ketchikan--first place Brian lived in Ketchikan--ought be an historical treasure.
