Well, I had my dedicated Trick or Treaters come to visit last night. I’ve been so disappointed about Hurricane Melissa and our trip to Jamaica being cancelled, I didn’t get out my camera last night. But I did use my cell phone to “capture” all of my wonderful guests.

“The greatest gift
our parents ever gave us
was each other.”

— Unknown

Porte Ponderings:

Some days it feels like we are like baby wood ducks. We hatched and our parents led us to the water where we were left to sink or swim.

I’ve been very lucky. I have 3 sisters that I remain close to. There are some who have placed money between each other and mis-placed loyalties. I continue to celebrate the lives of my sisters and being close with them.

No, Orangemen’s Day isn’t a day to celebrate orange men like Donald Trump.

It’s a Provincial holiday in Newfoundland. Parades and celebrations are held. It is believed that if it rains on Orangemen’s Day it will rain for 40 days.
