Elks Family Get Together At Halloween 2011 (Page Two)
Did You Know? - Forget love — I'd rather fall in chocolate! ~Attributed to Sandra J. Dykes
It's that time of year and we must go dinner dancing at the Santa Ana Elks Lodge
In the 1800's there was an activity at Halloween called
"Snap Apple Night"
Did You Know? - The word Halloween is first attested in the 16th century and represents a Scottish variant of the fuller All-Hallows-Even ("evening"), that is, the night before All Hallows Day. Although the phrase All Hallows is found in Old English (ealra hālgena mæssedæg, mass-day of all saints), All-Hallows-Even is itself not attested until 1556.
The March Begins
The Pirate and his damsel
Del took lessons from Fluffy so he could look mean...

The Parade Is Still Underway
The parade was most fascinating
Picking the winner was difficult
There is a new sheriff in town
Did You Know? - A sheriff is in principle a legal official with responsibility for a county. In practice, the specific combination of legal, political, and ceremonial duties of a sheriff varies greatly from country to country.
The word "sheriff" is a contraction of the term "shire reeve". The term, from the Old English scīrgerefa, designated a royal official responsible for keeping the peace (a "reeve") throughout a shire or county on behalf of the king.[1] The term was preserved in England notwithstanding the Norman Conquest. From the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms the term spread to several other regions, at an early point to Scotland, latterly to Ireland and the United States.

Did You Know? - Googly eyes or wiggly eyes are small plastic craft supplies used to imitate eyeballs. Googly eyes traditionally are composed of a clear, hard-plastic shell, with a smaller, black plastic disk trapped within. The plastic shells come in a variety of sizes ranging from 3/16 of an inch to over 3 inches in diameter. The inner black disk is allowed to move freely within the larger clear plastic shell, which makes the eyes appear to move. These disks come in a variety of colors including pink, blue, yellow, red and green. Googly eyes are used for a variety of arts and crafts projects including pipe cleaner farm animals, silly sock puppets, and other creations brought forth from the imaginations of children. Googly eyes may also be attached to inanimate objects in order to give the objects a "silly" or "cute" appearance. This use often personifies the objects for a humorous effect.
Al and Margie join us for the rest of the evening

Giggles gone wild
