I can still remember doing the dishes to The Monster Mash and praying they would play it over and over.  It was a catchy tune and fun to pretend to dance to on our kitchen floor but I am sure I drove my Mother mad every time it played on the AM radio!  Tonight at The Grill on 2nd street we were all a bit silly and filled with Monster mash energies.  The little ones painted their donated pumpkins from Pigeon Roost Farms.  Cindy Kelly made some great spider chocolate cupcakes...the icing was to die for!!!!  New families showed up as well as the beloved regulars and I encourage all to download any family photos of their small goblins right off the post.  Priscilla Rink brought Sierra and my newest favorite hat... my spider Fascinator...I felt so British and tre chic!  There was sparkle glitter green washable paint and a brilliant washable gold paints ...I am doing laundry right now so we shall see.  I had quite a few splashes of Halloween colors on my latest apron!  We shall see how everything washes dum ta dum dum!!!!  I am very tired but everyone working tonight enjoyed dressing up in costume...thank you Marco and Tre...you both were great sports!  I will keep this short because I think the photos say it all!  Thank you to everyone who contributed to making tonight a heart memory!  Peace,  Mary Helen Fernandez Stewart
