Heroes
Ciara - that crazy girl who is my soul sister in Dublin...our livers shall never be the same. Cheers! My sister, my husband, Pat McGrath. People who remember to count their blessings and forget to count their hardships. People who live life with gusto. Dreamers who make things happen. Hard-working, good people with strength of character. The solid people who provide an anchor when everything in a person's life gets too sordid and ephemeral.

What is it that we truly seek? Things that make our hearts pound, and our knees go weak? In the darkness shadows loom, with our eyes we slowly scan the room. Wondering what could be there, to offer us a frightening scare. Delight in a goulish Halloween, take in all the haunting scenes.. but heed this warning near and far, the boogyman can get you, wherever you are!! Muahahaha Have a hauntingly spooky Halloween!! :)
