About Oro Valley's Monterra

It's time to call it a night. The fun and games of Halloween are done for this year. Tom had really BIG fun playing with all the kids who came trick or treating and now he will start thinking about next Halloween.

Halloween is Tom's FAVORITE holiday! Tom is my husband of 40+ years. He loves Halloween better than any other holiday! When our daughters were little, he would build a huge haunted house on our patio. It would take him days to set it all up. I don't know who enjoyed it more, Tom or our two daughters and the neighborhood children

Our daughters are all grown up now and the haunted house is a fun memory of the past but Halloween is still Tom's favorite holiday. This year, every night for the last couple of weeks when I got home, I would see a new decoration in the front yard. The trees are all strung with orange twinkle lights. There are two large ghosts hanging out and a large bat - all in anticipation of sitting outside this evening to hand out treats and thoroughly enjoy the neighborhood children as they make their way up and down the streets. There will even be some grown up friends who will trick or treat for beer. LOL

And yesterday Tom got to have quite a bit of fun. Tom works for a large international company that has facilities here in Tucson. They had a pumpkin carving contest with nice gift cards for the winners - and he won first place! My guess is he will use the gift cards to buy more Halloween stuff to use for next year because Halloween is Tom's FAVORITE holiday!
