Happy Halloween

And it was quite a happy Halloween, my Love. I wish you could have been there in person with me (you would have had such an excellent time), but there were people who insisted that you must have been there in spirit.

Alice invited me on her pub crawl. I had a cider at O'Malley's, a sangria at the Taberna, and a "southern pecan" beer at Stogies. O'Malley's is always cool, and Brad gave a fun history lesson at the Taberna (before he had to go off and don his Clockwork Orange getup). Stogies is quite nice too. Very pretty interior and a great beer selection. Makes me wish we'd checked it out together.

I drank a toast to you each time.

We also visited the American Legion and Santa Maria's. The moon was full and Matanzas Bay was like a dream. I imagined that you were there sharing it all with me. It gave me a very peaceful feeling. The water will always remind me of you in the best way.

Afterward, I went back to the Taberna where quite the Halloween gathering had amassed. Many of our friends were there, including several (Carter and Joanna, for instance) that we hadn't seen in a while. Excellent costumes too. Irene thought my bimbo costume idea was cute, so I'll have to do that one next year, maybe.

I finally made my exit around 10:30 so that the dogs could potty.

I hope I'll dream of you in wonderful ways tonight.

If only I could wake up with the same sense of peace and hope as when I go to bed. Can you help me with that, Liebe? Inspire me even in my darkest hours?

I love you, Sweet Sweet. Happy Halloween!

PS: found your wonderful Navy photos this afternoon. I cried tears of joy at the sight of them and thanked you. You are so beautiful and precious to me, Sweetest. I adore you.
