Argh, Matey! We be comin' ta Shang-Hi Ye!

Halloween 2009--We be the 7 Pirates of the 7 Seas!
Mom and all the crew got dressed up before Dad got off work. (Glenn was a ghost pirate!) We sailed our pirate ship (the van) to the desert island (his work) and forced him to become a pirate too, threatening him to walk the plank if he didn't join. Then he caused a mutiny and took over command from Mom! Mom got demoted to cook and served Bone Soup with real chicken bones and maggots (barley), Hard Tack, and Ale (Ginger Ale) with Worms (Gummy Worms)! It be mighty tasty!

A Dash of Season to benefit Taylie Abbott

This lady has arranged for a $2 donation to go to Taylie, my cousin's little 4 year old girl, who has been diagnosed with Leukemia, just by posting this link on Facebook or Blog and letting her know! She doesn't even know Taylie or the Abbott family, but she wanted to help because she is a mom of sweet little girls too! I love her story. If you post this link and tell her (before midnight, Sunday Oct 11th) that's $2 to go to the Abbotts! Please help! So simple!
