The year was 1989, Halloween was just around the corner.  We were living in Royal Oak, Michigan in an old house with a huge rocking chair front porch.  The sides of the porch were decorated with 6 foot crochet spider webs with huge hairy spiders.  The wide front section of the porch was decorated with two large hanging pumpkin lights, a windsock ghost and eerie bats.  The front steps were adorned with darling scarecrows and carve Jack-O-Lanterns.  In the front yard there were tombstones for Elvis, R.I.P. etc.. 
     At night when the pumpkin lights were turned on cars would drive by to see our Halloween spectacle.  I was delighted to provide fun free entertainment for everyone.  We decorated every year but this year - 1989 the local TV camera crews did a story on our house.  We anxiously awaited our story but the story never aired because that was the night of the San Francisco earthquake ) :  That was a much more important story. 
     With Halloween just around the corner we have the most awesome Halloween crochet patterns at MaggiesCrochet.com to get ready for this fun and festive holiday. 
Have a great week,
Maggie Weldon
