The Wheel & Distaff: Halloweens Past
http://thewheelanddistaff.blogspot.com/2014/10/halloweens-past.html
Friday, October 31, 2014. When I was growing up, Halloween was something that I always looked forward to with much anticipation. I can still remember my first Halloween mask. My mom took me to the Ben Franklin store in Hillsville, Virginia. I got to pick out my own mask! It was a monster with this horrible itchy black hair sticking out. Do you remember those old masks back in the 70s that were very difficult to breathe in? As it turned out, we did end up going. Trick-or-Treating was always quite the orde...

The Wheel & Distaff: September 2014
http://thewheelanddistaff.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 7, 2014. The Memphis Belle: A Boeing B-17F Flying Fortress. I was sitting outside my house on September 1 and heard a loud rumble in the sky. When I looked up I saw the beautiful Memphis Belle flying directly toward my house! I later found out that it was going to be back at the Roanoke airport on September 6 and 7 for tours and rides. It must be amazing to fly in it, but the cost for flights was $450. A bit beyond what I have to spend! Plus, I have to work both of those days. Song of t...
