Harrigan Tales

Well this Halloween was a little more special because it fell on a Friday night.  We were all very excited.  We usually have two neighbors come over with their kids because we start to trick or treat.  We load them up on pizza before they engorge themselves with candy.

This year Peyton was a dragon while Walker was a Ninja Turtle.  The night was warm and comfortable.  We went around our circle with spirited hot chocolates for the adults.  We completed the circle of houses and came back home.  Once the kids were comfortable watching a movie the adults went outside to the warm fire and additional spirits.   

I have not been posting entries concerning the torturous presidential election that has come to a close. I have friends on both side of the fence. I agree that everyone has the right to vote but would demand that they have a reason for voting the way they did other than the color of their skin or their gender. I feel that there are many that could not look past the promises and would dismiss the reality of those same promises being realized. Our country has elected a person who would not even wear an American flag pin. To me that is about as unpatriotic as it gets. I will some up my feelings with one quote from a movie.
