O! Send pictures; the imagination can only stretch so far {eg} Your uncle dressed up as The Dodgeville Hermit (for the Museum)...picture this, if you can: coarse linen shirt, overalls, graying hair flying loose (I'll give you a minute to work on that part) and a tall beaver hat. I? Well, I was "Mary Hayes Chynoweth", a psychic healer and Spiritualist from the 19th century. Wore basically 1880. Mary's "power" told her where to find iron ore in northern WI and was right; the family made a fortune. In later years they moved to San Jose where her sons earned the noble title "The Prune Kings". (True story). We had a wonderful time. Didja get any candy?
I actually have more candy now than I did at the beginning of the night! I had almost no trick-or-treaters, and your sister-in-law managed to unload two of HER unused bages of candy on me!

ReplyDeleteOh, and in case you're thinking it - I considered the possibility that it might have been our boss' attempt at type-casting.......
