Whoa....yes, here we are all dressed up for our Halloween celebration at church. It was quite different, but very interesting and so many people dressed up in some outrageous and creative costumes. We honor many different faith traditions at our church and today our minister spoke about "Samhain" or summer's end. This is a Celtic festival celebration symbolizing the end of harvest, wrapping up the old and looking forward to the new year.
It is also a service of reflection and honoring of deceased ancestors who came before us........a celebration of their memory. Perry and I realized during this service, that we really don't spend much time thinking about people who were very influential in our lives. Thanking and honoring them and remembering how important they were as ancestors of our family. We focused on Perry's father, Zoltan Robert Deutsch, and my grandmother Norine Francis Miller. Wonderful strong loving leaders of our families.
