Candy Update

No, we did not have 600 trick-or-treaters. I figure we had about 200. I don't have a real count as we were giving away handfuls of candy at the end because we didn't want to have hundreds of pieces left over to tempt us... My award for best costume goes to the girl who, at first glance, was a baked potato. When she got closer, I realized she was a picnic with food items attached to a tablecloth. We did not see any Sarah Palins, Obamas or McCains - but apparently they were at the high school earlier because some Kayhi seniors got dressed up.

Last week I signed up for a mixed media art course, and tonight is the first class. We're supposed to learn how to make paper and also different ideas for collages. I have lots of souvenir items from our cross country trip that I'd like to turn into something. Maybe tonight will be inspirational.

But before I go, though, I'll be glued to the television starting at about 3:30 when many of the polls close on the East Coast. This is one time when I like being 4 hours behind the rest of the country. Here in AK we may actually know who the next President is before we turn in for the night...
