Soapbox moment re:Retirement Home Halloween

I have to share this link with you: http://thepioneerwoman.com/blog/2010/11/small-town-halloween/ .
If you haven't discovered the Pioneer Woman's blog yet, you are in for a treat. Her "true-life-novelette," called "Black Heels to Tractor Wheels" is reason enough, as are her photographs chronicling her everyday life raising a family on a cattle ranch. And then there is her cookery and homeschooling ideas.

But in her posting about Halloween this year, she made me think about something new: Halloween in a retirement home.
Her small town's retirement home opened its doors to trick-or-treaters. Go to the posting and look at the photos, please.
Why doesn't every retirement home do this? I loved the idea, and the smiles on the residents' faces tell the value of the it.

All right, I'm stepping off of my soapbox right now.

Happy Halloween!

As David said, when he was a little boy,
"Happy Marine!"
(Happy Halloween)
to you and your family.
I hope it's a fun (and safe) day for everyone.
