Dia de Bloglandia rewind

Thank you for joining us.  Meet Allysandra, our guide.

Look who is in the parade.

Its Irving. He's been helping out on Wall Street lately. Too bad he's scared of bears.

And Silliberto. He adores all things theatrical.

You may have seen Dribbles on one of those days that ruin your hair.

They really do mean well. And Allysandra has everything well in hand.

Mama Rojo scares away those hot flashes. Although sometime she is one.

Sid is from New Orleans. Oh, the tales he could tell.

Loco Rocco is just here for the candy.

But keep a close eye on the twins, Pierrepont and Robespierre. They love to confuse and confound.

Everyone settle down.

It's time for our party. Not only is it Halloween and Dia de los Muertos, it's my birthday! I am so happy you are here to celebrate a special birthday with me. Come in, come in. There's plenty of cake.

Did you have something to eat? Some punch from the cauldron? Then it's time to meet the Sisters. They have guided our loved ones to join us.

Our dear Barbara, with the kitties Nails and Hi-Tops. She always loved roses and steamers and a good cup of tea.

Uncle Albie was bawdy and funny and loved his family and the finer things in life.

Grandma and Grandpa sailed to America as small children and must have liked it. They crossed the Atlantic whenever they could.

And my darling Yuki. There was never another cat like him.

And all the others we love and miss and celebrate. Before they return we will celebrate their lives. No sadness, no tears. Just joy at having them a part of our lives. Which they remain even now. 

And now go visit Stephanie here and see what else Dia de Bloglandia holds in store.
