A few years ago, my Mom bought herself this Halloween decoration and the following year gave it to me. To be honest, I never really liked it-I thought it ugly and almost gave it to Goodwill. But this year I noticed that when she gave it to me, she also taped a note to the bottom. "I want to go live at Michele's house-Okay Good Bye and--Don't come back. Mom" and dated it Nov, 8, 2002. She wrote it as if the pumpkin face wanted to move out and come to my house. This was so typical of her---when I was growing up she would leave notes to me taped to my Raggedy Ann doll and sign them "Raggy". Needless to say---I think this Halloween face is the most special thing in the world this season.
