è I had an invitation several weeks ago to a Halloween party at someone's house that I do not know. All the local Mardi Gras krewes were invited. I do not like to have to find and wear costumes, so I made no plans to go. Sunday, a friend called and said she and a couple others were going and I should come, too. I declined because I just don't want to deal with a costume. Meeting new people is not a problem; it's the costume thingy I dislike!! I did go to one last year for the krewe that I eventually joined, but I was a judge of the costumes, so I didn't have to wear one.That one was really fun. Maybe next year!!!
