Incognito

Larry and I attended a costume party last weekend.  It'd been ages since we'd last attended a party where the expectation was to come in costume.  And what fun it was!  When we arrived, we were greeted by a fairy godmother with hair that sparkled with little lights.  We encountered Count Dracula, a sorceress, a graduate, a leopard, a clown and a baker.  As we moved throughout the house, we met Elvis, Batman, a witch, an old woman, a pirate, a nun and even the Pope!  We knew that Larry was going to be making a mad dash home from Madison just in time to arrive at the party a few minutes late, so our costumes had to be as simple as possible.  We arrived dressed in black sweaters and black pants.  On each of our sweaters was clipped a large button.  Larry's button said, "Me" and mine said "My Shadow."  Those were our "creative" costumes!  But, it didn't matter, for the party was fun no matter how one was dressed or who you decided to be that evening.  Everything was decorated to perfection for the season and the holiday, and the food was beyond description for its taste and variety.  Our host was gracious and welcoming, and everyone in attendance offered pleasant conversation.   What a fun way to put the "boo" in Baraboo, just in time for Halloween!
