Thanks, Library!
Tonight, alone on one of the most people-oriented holidays there is, I went to my public library.
There, I found platters of cookies, bags of popcorn, spooky lighting and yes! ~ bloody hand punch. Welcome to the lonely hearts club on Halloween.
About a dozen of us watched "The Others," a spooky period piece (circa world war two) with Nicole Kidman as an opressive English mother, repressing the spunk of her tweenaged daughter in an old mansion in the moors. Yes, there's a shy younger brother and three creepy servants and the ever-loving fog.
It was a great pick for the mixed-age crowd (12 to about 70, I'd say).
And, as mentioned, I was proud to be in the company of others, who, like me, with nowhere of their own to go, could call the library ours, if only for the night, and share the revelry of the holiday, not alone.
Thanks, Iola Public Library! You're swell!
