Halloween is this week and I hope that everyone watches out for the kids when they are out getting their treats. They get so excited and may have trouble seeing with their masks or be tripping over their costumes. Being Halloween is on a Friday, there will probably be lots of parties for the kids and they may be out later than usual. I heard some statistics on the radio that there is quite a high percentage of young adults that wear costumes for Halloween and go to parties or bars. I have been in awe of people who dream up the fabulous and funny costumes that are worn. I have no imagination when it comes to dressing up but the kids that come to the door always like to see me in a costume. I don’t know what that will be, I think I will just be grandma!

This pumpkin dessert recipe was given to me by one of our church members; it is easy to make and very good.
