The Hulse Haven

Dear Hulse Clan,

Tonight you are all probably gathering at Grandma and Grandpa's house for a holiday party. I just wanted to tell you all that I miss seeing your faces and talking with you and laughing with you, and maybe sometimes even laughing at you. And sometimes I even miss scratching your scalps.  ;) 

Honestly, I do.

I miss the noise and the kids running around and the folding chairs in every room and the joking and the love of big extended family. I miss hearing Grandma tell her spooky poems, the same ones I heard when I was a little girl - especially the one about Little Orphan Annie. I miss hearing about how things are at work and with the kids and with your lives. Facebook and Blogger just aren't the same.

It is hard living so far away sometimes.

I am so grateful to know that we are an eternal family, to know that we will always be connected no matter how far apart we are in this life or the next.

So, my dear cousins and aunts and uncles and grandparents, I am wishing you a HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Love,

Stephanie

You do know that it is Apple squeezing time. Isn't Autumn great? Check out Pass the Salt (link from my site) for some great new apple recipes!
Stealing this from Lesley's site. What do you love about Fall? I love the crisp air, the crunch of leaves under my feet, the yellow sunflowers and brilliant mums, and ofo course autumn leaves and buring bushees, Hallowen decorations, burning dust as the furnace comes on, canning food, soups, Conference, sleeping with the windows open, apple juice...I will be adding more in the comments. Has anyone heard from Debi or Brian lately? Do they ever look at this blog? (someone should call them and have them look here)
Love you!
