We didn't in Hungary either, when I was a kid. But if we didn't have it here, in the US, my grandchildren would sure miss the fun of it.<BR/><BR/>Always a pleasure to see your smiling face here. Have a nice Wednesday.<BR/><BR/>Warm regards,<BR/><BR/>RenieRenie Burghardthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02660484248593903002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7128708840799747320.post-75796334692154642622007-10-09T06:21:00.000-05:002007-10-09T06:21:00.000-05:00Hi again Renie ~~ Thank you so much for your comme...Hi again Renie ~~ Thank you so much for your comments. Glad you liked the Marbles story and the joke about the American & Australian - they were both giving it to each other, so I didn't think it would offend. No, we don't celebrate Halloween in Australia or even Thanksgiving. For myself, I feel very thankful every day!! So we have much less decorating than you girls. Maybe we are lazy.

I use to love just sitting and listening to their talks. I guess you could say I was eavesdropping but just listening to their stories were something.

However, I'm not officially a senior yet. I do have Senior Moments and my legs make me feel like a senior on some days. So I'm making my way to the golden years. At times I just wish they were a little more golden. LOL<BR/><BR/>This weekend is Canadian Thanksgiving, so I will have something else to post about. I have some great recipes that I will leave there for others to enjoy.<BR/><BR/>Have a great weekend.<BR/><BR/>Hugs,<BR/>MaryMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08175754179624182953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7128708840799747320.post-54857469521030940112007-10-06T17:59:00.000-05:002007-10-06T17:59:00.000-05:00Mary,Thank you!
