Halloween and Melinda’s birthday

The mind jumps around like an uncharted path, picks up pieces of the past.
Halloween - Melinda was born on Halloween 1962. I loved making her costumes when she was a child. Her favorite costume was a green M and M. But when she was very young we had Halloween parties at our home. The year she was four we had a special party and six young girls in the neighborhood came in witch costume and Melinda was a witch, too. Kevin helped with this party. He put dry ice in the punch bowl and stirred it. But the next year she went to school, all day kindergarten. She came home crying because she found out Halloween was for every one. Time marches on.
