From Colorado to Hawaii, twice. The only time I have been out of the country is to Mexico and once to the Bahamas. Sad!
Mod
Germany, from Colorado.

Book Concierge wrote: "Monday, Oct 24 - How many different cities/towns have you called "home"?"I only call a few home because I didn't like the other places I lived including where I was born. But I think I have lived in nine cities.
Mod
Five for me (including two suburbs of Milwaukee)
Mod
Born and raised right here in Colorado Springs, only one.

Leah wrote: "October 25 (Tuesday): What is your favorite piece of furniture in your place?"My bookshelves. :)
Mod
Probably our dining room table ... though we rarely use it these days. Still, it was important to us in our early relationship and marriage.
Leah wrote: "October 19 (Wednesday): In what way do you procure most of your books? Online, used book store, library, etc"Most of mine come from a little used bookstore here in town.

Well... my brother calls me "Ugly Girl" It's a long story but I even sometimes sign cards/letters/emails to him that way.

I do not. And I don't know why. I guess nothing ever stuck.
Leah wrote: "October 26 (Wednesday): Do you have a nickname? What is it?"My dad and brother-in-law call me Mel. Some of my co-workers do too.
Leah wrote: "October 26 (Wednesday): Do you have a nickname? What is it?"Skeetor or JD

Son is dressed up as a dragon this year and it is his first year trick-or-treating! He also went to a Halloween hunt at the history museum and went to Boo at the Zoo this weekend. He has had so much fun. We will trick-or-treat in my mom's neighborhood, we're going to surprise mom - she thinks we are skipping Halloween this year.
Book Concierge wrote: "Monday Oct 31 - Going trick-or-treating today? Dressing in costume at work? Tell us about your Halloween plans."Having some friends over and we'll have pasta for dinner while we receive our spooky visitors.
Mod
I work in a Children's Hospital, and we're encouraged to dress up - but NOTHING scary! I'm not dressing up this year ... unless I say I'm going as "business manager" LOL
Last year the staff in our office all dressed in yellow turtle-necks, and stood, with their arms in the air, inside a large red cardboard container one of them made. They won 2d prize in the "team" competition ... title of their costume "McSurgery Fries"
My village has no street lights and no sidewalks, so it's pretty dangerous for kids to be running around in the dark. For as long as I've lived here (25+ years) the village has scheduled trick-or-treating on the last Sunday afternoon of October. Of course, this annoys my husband who is usually trying to watch the Packer game while the doorbell rings every few minutes....

(My son in his dragon costume can be seen on my profile page if interested) :-)
