Everyday is a new adventure with Murphy. While he has his routines, he always comes up with something new... this morning, he is a brave hunter, stalking the Arizona cardinal...
Another Halloween behind us, and into a new month. This time of year is pretty darn nice in the desert; we're looking forward to cooler days.
Joan decorated a table that we put out in the driveway. Steph, Dan, and I manned the table, ready for trick or treaters. "Business" was not brisk: an estimated 50 or so candy takers. It was a lot of families. Some kids not in costumes. Some dressed elaborately.
We set "ground rules" ahead of time that we all agreed to: everybody gets candy; costume or not; doesn't matter the age.
We got to meet some new neighbors; had a nice conversation with a family of 3 from a couple blocks away. Everyone who came by was nice. Another good experience.
One woman who asked Steph, "Which of these guys are you with?"
Steph pointed at Dan and said, "That is my husband."
"Who is this other guy?"
Steph said, "That's my Dad."
"He looks too young to be your Dad."
Steph said, "Let me get him into the light so you can see better."
She's sweet that way.
