This years Halloween party started with the Giants game on starting at 5 pm. Lucky for us they won that night and didn’t go into extra innings so it was over and everyone was in a good mood by the time the party really got going.

Next morning we had a wonderful breakfast. Mark made
Strawberry crepes, build your Own omelets, potatoes, and artichoke dip with crackers. Alice made blintzes.

Mona showed up later with vegies from the farmers market to use or take home. She is behind me in purple. Great breakfast. Beautiful morning!
Wonderful Party.

Thanks all that came this year in spite of the rain that was happening up until the party started. Thanks for all great costumes, and food and music. Even the pumpkins were smiling.
Thanks Giants for putting everyone in a good mood.
