Happy Halloween 1914 style

I love this picture of my Great Uncle Max and Aunt Esther



Even in 1914 they were celebrating Halloween.
Moonlit night, fortunes told, and a ghost!

  5. Ann, Love the photo, and the journal entry is so interesting. I had to laugh when she listed everyone's weight. Really enjoyed her description of their Halloween fun. Fortunes in milk, I never knew about that trick.

    Great share!

  6. Will you have many trick or treaters? I will have very few. Our house sits so far back from the road we are rather off of the beaten path. I very much appreciated the last comment that you left me last week. Yes, we do hold much in common. Rather fun, isn't it? Have a great week end.

  8. I loved this post. That is such a cute picture with the pumpkins. I like the expressions on the pumpkins and the kids.

    Fun to read about their Halloween celebration with ghosts and magically appearing milk fortunes.

    Happy Halloween!
