Big day today, if you’re a kid. Halloween is one of those days that you vividly remember as a kid. Most of ours were really snowy. Because of that, we always had costumes that kept us warm. The neighborhood went all out and Mrs. Rossi always made the best cinnamon apples. They were like caramel apples only covered with red, hard sticky cinnamon. Mr. Rossi always had some sort of catering cart out in front of their house where he served hot dogs and drinks like hot chocolate. I don’t remember what he served the adults, probably spiced wine. They were our super cool Italian family that lived next door. I think I’ve mentioned before, I’d jump the fence and eat dinner at the Rossi’s after eating dinner at home. Mrs. Rossi was the quintessential Italian grandmother type. She always looked out for us and boy could she cook. Good times.
Well, a week from today, Lori is having ADR surgery at the surgery center down in Lakewood by St. Anthony’s hospital. I think she checks in around 10:30 and has surgery at 12:30. She should be out a couple hours later and then we’ll head home around 4:30 or 5. We’re praying this gives her total relief. You never know but everyone is comfortable that it’ll give her some relief, especially in her traps and occipitals. We’re just glad it’s finally scheduled.
We stopped to see Jagger and Ava briefly before Lori’s appointment yesterday. We made it home a little before 6pm. Tonight Dea, our next-door neighbor, is having a baked potato party at 5. We’ll go over to see the kids.
This morning we’ll hit the gym, grab some breakfast and then head home. Have a great last day of October and Halloween. November 1st tomorrow! 61 days left until 2026, God Bless.
