Oh no -- I can't have dinner or dance!
But I'd surely be there
If I had the chance.
Trick or Treat with the grandkids
Is keeping me here.
But please, pretty please --
Could you save me a beer??

HAPPY HALLOWEEN TO ALL THE PARTYGOERS!

Ann Coates October 31, 2009

Did I hear someone mention FOOD!!!!

I love the way you guys celebrate Halloween over there. It's still new in NZ and there is a little bit of anti sentiment towards it here but it's really nice when you go to someone's house and they welcome you with open arms and make a fuss of the kids with the effort they have gone to.

It's all over in NZ but I will enjoy looking at everyone's Halloween celebrations through the eyes of BP. Thanks Laura for giving us kiwis an insight into the world of Halloween. We gave thoroughly enjoyed it! #8091270

Nancyj E. Hovey October 31, 2009

OH, my, but DO bring the kiddies, there is a room all for them too!!! 8o)

Well, the Queen Of Halloween had a very fun and long day. Several people here today and tons of kids to the door.

I will include the last photo of the night so you can see me tired and worn out! I thought this image made me look a bit like an oil painter? What do you think??? HA!

I enjoyed very much reading all of your wonderful comments! Thank you so much!

THANK YOU

Hey Little Sister, thank you thank you
thank you! I have always wanted

a dance with Roland and this music is one of my favorites!

A great Halloween series, I must say this
is the first time I have celebrated

it. Ann we don't celebrate it in Australia that I know of although a shop assistant

was decked out in Halloween gear dressed up as a witch.

I have one good shoe- still waiting for the other from Rolan. I hope this night never ends.......................GULP ...GULP..............GULP.....Burpppppppppp...but politely though.........excuse me...............GULP......... #8094660

ROLAN NARMAN November 02, 2009

LOL Patrick! Looks like I keep forgetting about the other shoe...but it is too late now...why don't you try dancing barefooted! It will look most polite!!!

Pat I'm always available when it comes to tangos!!! But I must do the opening dance with our dear sister!!!

Fantastic ending to a wonderful series Laura! Excellent job topped with a beautiful music! #8097245

Laura E. Swan November 02, 2009

Yes, Paddy dear. Later then! HA! After you are throughly finished digging through Kikis pockets! It's a date!

I don't understand the one shoe thing but do we ladies kick off one shoe to compensate for your loss? Humm?

OH MAYBE YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT ROLANS "SOFT SHOE" MANNERS on the dance floor? You are waiting to borrow his soft shoe?

Barefoot? Most polite? (I am so confused by men!)

YES brother Rolan! The first dance is for you. I'll be the one spinning around out there warming up. Just put your arm out to stop the tremendous spinning. I will know it is you!

HA!

Laura- This one really intriqued me. I love the gothic look of it alot. The red and black really add a surreal feel to the picture. Love the depth of the picture, the way you presented the people seated at tje dining tables. Very creative imagination.
Gorgeous work my friend.
Have a wonderful day, take care. #8102461
