Wordful Wednesday - Halloween edition

Complete with words this Wednesday (for you Phil!)

Halloween was celebrated when I was a kid - we did the usual pumpkin carving, dressing up, trick-or-treating, etc - but it apparently wasn't a reason to pay for film!

There's one photo of my sister and I dressed up for Halloween and one photo of my brother dressed up. That's it - one each. And the reason these photos exist: they were taken by other people and given to us. So, we dressed up every year, but I couldn't prove it through photographs! And I've never seen photos of my parents at Halloween either...

Tombstone Tuesday - Sprouse


My Great-Great-Great Uncle, Tullie Frederick Sprouse was born on 16 Sep 1870 in South Carolina. He was the son of William Washington Sprouse and Nancy K. Armstrong and the brother of my Great-Great Grandmother, Nina Sprouse Albea.


Tullie died on 29 Oct 1944 in Greenwood County, South Carolina. He was buried on Halloween. Talk about setting a mood - a funeral on Halloween!

A Weekend Link - Vintage Halloween

Halloween's coming up and I'm remembering some of the different Halloween's from my childhood. Feeling nastalgic, I started looking for vintage halloween photos. Check out the 'Vintage Halloween' group on flickr for a selection of photos from throughout the 20th century.
