Sue's Blog - Some assembly required.

Halloween or thereabouts.

Sunday was Milwaukee's official Trick or Treat day.
It is always the Sunday before Oct 31st.
I think it makes a lot of sense.

The kids, & parents, come between 1pm and 4pm.   They will only knock on houses who's porch light is on.
So, if you don't want to participate you don't put your porch light on.
At 4pm you know you won't be getting any more.
It works so well because, the kids are safer in daylight and people who give out sweeties don't have to be worried about answering the door to strangers at night.
I love it.

I always ask the parents if I can take a photo.
I particularly like the little ones.

I am always a little bit sad when it is over but I have our Vegas trip to look forward to now.

We should be heading off to Las Vegas on  Thursday, next week.
We have a pet sitting service to look after the cats and to give Bubba his "Zoomie Juice".
We celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary in August......not bad going for the second time around.
Anyway, we got married in Las Vegas and really wanted to go back as a celebration.
We couldn't get away in August so decided to go a little later in the year.
It should be better anyway as August in Vegas is blooming hot.
It was 114F when we got married, which was why the wedding was at night.  Well, that and the lights looked fab.
In November it should be in the 70s or 80F at most.  That is much more comfortable for sight seeing.
There are one or two sights to see in Vegas.
