I ran across somebody’s comment about the movie “Practical Magic” with Sandra Bullock, Nicole Kidman, and Dianne Wiest. I thought that would be a fun movie to watch on Halloween night. It turned out to be a great movie. Danita and I had a great time watching it. I told Danita it appears to be a Halloween chick flick. She didn’t see how a movie could fit into those two categories. But after we watched it, she agreed.

Every year our church has a memorial mass for those who have died within the last year. We went to light a candle for Bud. It was a nice service.

Our great fun was Mark and Mira. Jaijai had a seminar in DC. Mark and Mira stopped at our house for two days. This time Mira let us hold her and feed her. This was great progress. In the past, she would grab the nearest parent’s leg and hide. Or cry and turn her head. Or otherwise make it clear we were probably trying to steal her away from her parents. I offered her a little ice cream after lunch and dinner. Mark said that didn’t make any difference. I say sometime, grandparents know things.
