Who would have thought that Halloween evening would foster a friendship?? While wearing my Bumble Bee costume, I went out into my daughter’s Chicago neighborhood to pass out candy. On my right was a woman who struck up a conversation with me over my red hair. My grandson Oliver has red hair, and she wondered where it came from. Of course, one thing led to another, I’m Italian, she’s Mexican. I like tequila, and she has been waiting to open a three-year-old bottle from her hometown. We spent the night passing out candy and sipping on tequila. We had lunch the next day, she brought tamales, and I had chili. We had such a wonderful time, my family and her family sharing a meal. I can’t wait to go back in December to see what Christmas has in store for us!
