Happy Halloween

October 31, 2009 By pia

A few years ago if you told me that my idea of happiness would be going to a street fair and free day concert, I would have thought you deluded. The street fairs in New York sell the same sheet sets and mops. Here there are slate candles lit with oil for indoors or outdoors (my new version of a fire pit,) incredibly beautiful clips to pin hair up with, bird cages–OK tack alert, but everything else….

I couldn’t eat the food as I had my fried food quotient for the next several months last weekend, the ribs looked great and I did think about them but it doesn’t seem worth being on an exercise program and not dieting.

The “fresh squeezed lemonade” looked like lime pee but I’m sure the ice cream was good.

The music, Carolina beach music, the best of which always has more than a touch of soul was great.

It’s CLo and W’s last day for the summer–they have stretched summer out so that it’s now officially from the end of March to 11/01. They brought the dogs so we were very popular.

The sun came out just as it was over. And I’m not even complaining. Tomorrow might just be a beach day.

I thought 30 Rock was especially brilliant and funny this past week. Here’s the episode. It’s not a Halloween show; it’s a Northerners goes South show and I can relate to just about everybody

    Happy Halloween, Pia. What is Halloween but a street fair where the front doors do the circulating?

    Sounds like you’re having fun and ready to be seen as a true Carolina girl. As for beach music, have your heard the song “Carolina Girls?”

    “Carolina girls, best in the world…. California girls are sexy and New York girls are too, but Carolina girls got good looks and sweet personality too.”

    Halloween has been interesting for us this year – after years of being indifferent we now of course have children, and we are living it through their eyes. I’m just bracing myself for the come-down later today 🙂

    Happy Halloween! I kinda like C-Lo and Dub’s definition of summer.

    I was hoping you’d have been home last night so I could ask if you had any trick-or-treaters 🙂

    Happy belated Halloween to you. It sounds like fun. Festivals on streets or beaches.

    I like the idea of summer from March to November though.

About Me

I live in the South, not South Florida, a few blocks from the ocean, and two blocks from the main street. It's called Main Street. Amazes me too.

I'm from New York. I mostly lived in the Mid-Upper East Side, and the heart of the Upper West Side. It amazes me when people talk about how scared they were of Times Square in the 1970's and 1980's.

As my mother said: "know the streets, look out and you'll be fine."

What was scary was the invasion of the crack dens into "good buildings in good 'hoods." And the greedy landlords who did everything they could to get good tenants out of buildings.

I'm a Long Island girl, and proud of it now.
Then I hated everything about the suburbs. Yet somehow I lived in a few great Long Island Sound towns after high school.
