seen on facebook some people didnt  have any ideas for a halloween costume. my little baby sister edie didnt have that problem. she dressed up as a bag of popcorn for the daycare halloween party. no really she was a bag of popcorn. see the picture. rumor is she made people feel like renting some movies.

speaking of halloween, parr is sponsoring a dance at the bingo hall saturday nite. they will have a band, kareoke, eats and a costume contest. i say edie has my vote. it is nice someone is doing a community thing. back when we were poor injuns, we would have community events like halloween, christmas and 4th of july. now we aint got no money. its our money but we cant spend it on us.

my danseh wabeno has two beagles named chewie and obi wan. named after the star wars characters. they have a myspace now. i had to add them as friends and put them in my top friends list. i dont get on myspace much anymore since i am playing around with facebook. thing is on facebook i keep getting asked to join some cause. i never join. it aint that i dont play well with others, its just that i have my own causes i do. announcing them on facebook doesnt do anything  for them.

it has gotten cool a few times now. i have started a fire in my stove down in the basement. the tribe brought me some wood since i am over 55 years old. i used to do that all the time but am slowing down somewhat now. the arthritis in my back doesnt allow me to be too active. sometimes i live in pain for a long time if i get carried away. glad they have that program for seniors.

i read a couple books lately since my garden is done. i read susan estall’s The Stolen House of Light. i met susan on the retracing of the potawatomi trail of death. i was surprised that she mentioned me in the acknowledgements in the front of the book. the book is about two friends who decide to move a house to save it from destruction. the house was part of the underground railroad. i read the book in about two days. susan is very encouraging to me in the writing of my book. you can check out her site at or buy her book at www.thestolenhouseoflight.com. a side note, last week or so a house in north topeka suffered fire damage. it was also part of the underground railroad. i noticed the house on rochester road a few times before, so i drove by to see it.

i also read dan brown’s the lost symbol. it is part of the da vinci code series. i read that one in a coupla days too. i had to read it cuz i read the other two and seen the movies.

saturday i plan on going to wamego to see my niece leah run. she is a freshman and is going to state in cross country. that is an accomplishment, she still has 3 years to go. she has done good this year and i havent had a chance to see her run. now i will. i like to support young natives when they do something good. and i love my niece, she is a good girl.

havent decided if i will wear a costume for the halloween party. my sisters are going. i wouldnt know what to dress up as, maybe a burned out hippie indian. i got that routine down…..
