July 2011 . Hanford Chinatown

“Holy Halloween, Batman!”

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! Mr. T and I spent it eating candy and watching Batman–but not just any Batman movie–the Batman movie from 1966. Chock full of comical cheese to satisfy our low-key Halloween weekend. Tonight, I’m looking forward to seeing all the little tykes dressed in their costumes for some tricks and treats. Will you be out celebrating?
