Happy Halloween!

An uneventful year in this household -- with grown kids and a granddaughter who lives in another town -- well, its just not the same as when there are young ones in the home. It is, however, a good time for the old ones to feel like young ones... if only for a few hours!

Today was the first time Halloween fell on a working day for me
at my BigBox store. And in good faith, and traditions from my
other stores in the past, I decided to go all out and dress up.
I was a cowgirl - Boots, jeans, belt, navy polo, vest,
lots of silver jewelry, and of course, The Hat. *grins*
Several joked with me: "You can take the gal outta the country,
but you can't take the country outta the gal."
Which is oddly true enough, and as life would have it, it sure didn't
feel much like a "costume" used to make you feel as a kid.
By the way, do you recall your favorite costume as a kid?
I loved wearing a navy uniform back then!

YEE HAW!
But the oddest part for me was that no one else - NO ONE - dressed up for Halloween in my store today. And we had a visit from higher ups touring our store today, as well. And I wondered to myself if they just assumed that I dressed this way every day, since no one else was dressed up??? *chuckles softly* I never mind being the strange one, but today for some reason I noticed it more.
Cowgirl HUGS to everyone!!
