trick-or-treaters at Bethany House! Halloween has special significance for us, because Bethany House opened in October 2011 during a pre-Halloween snowstorm and marked its first anniversary in October 2012 sheltering residents and friends of residents (including Stephanie, who is now a current resident) during Hurricane Sandy.
This year, the weather finally cooperated and we welcomed lots of neighborhood children with pumpkins given to us by Linda and David and carved by Hannah, as well as chocolate. At one point Joe actually had to go to the store to buy more candy! Afterward we roasted pumpkin seeds and had a few guests over.
