My Little Cuties!

I bought Halloween costumes for the boys because they went with me and my friend Annie on a tour of Glenwood Cemetery. This is a quite famous graveyard here in Houston. Howard Hughes is buried there and so is a 1940s movie star, Gene Tierney. Many of the early oil barons are also interred there. They have just opened a new section called "River Oaks Row" because Carolyn Farb and Bob Lanier have both bought plots and have already begun constructing elaborate sculptures to put on their burial spots. (For those who don't know much about the Houston social scene, I've included links to Farb's and Lanier's wikipedia pages. Just click on their names.)

Porch Boy the Pumpkin and Trip the Trash Talker were ooohhhed and aahhhed over appropriately by the tour group. You can see that Tater (in the background of this shot) remained uncostumed this year.

Here's a close up of Trip's outfit. With the collar up...

and with the collar down...

and an EXTREME close up!

Porch Boy wore his pumpkin outfit quite proudly...

from every angle...

But he REALLY did NOT want a closeup!
