Welcome to White Cane Connections.

My name is Sue Boman. Yes, that’s me in the picture posted here. I have called this blog White Cane Connections because I am one of the many people who use a white cane. I began this blog because I wanted to write about a project I undertook in 2012. The plan was to complete a series of walks using my white cane. Between March and September, I walked in 82 different locations across Canada. So, the blog begins by telling of my experiences and the many people I met along the way.

While this particular journey has now been completed, I find that I still have much to write about. I am continuing to make new white cane connections, and so for the time being I will continue to add regular posts to this blog. I am hoping that you will be a partner in the journey.

November 3 - Halloween

Halloween is over for another year. It was certainly a different celebration this year but I guess that is the way things are for 2020.

Lyle and I bought our regular Halloween treats to hand out but we decided that we would wear our face masks when we answered the door. We certainly had fewer trick or treaters coming to call. Our one observation was that children and parents knocked on the door instead of pushing the button for the bell. I guess that it was just one more safety precaution.

The most exciting part of the day for us as grandparents was a zoom call with our Calgary and Winnipeg families. Both grandchildren had dressed up in costumes for the call and were a little disappointed that Lyle and I hadn’t done the same.

Our grandson was Dash from The Incredibles. There is a picture of him at the end of this post wearing his red Incredibles costume. I gather that Dash’s incredible power is that he can run really, really fast. I think that this costume suits our grandson really, really well because at nearly 4 ½ years old, he sure can run fast.

Our granddaughter in Calgary chose to dress up in a unicorn costume. It was a perfect choice for the weather. I think that it is the first time in many years that children haven’t needed to wear snow suits over the top of their outfits. The second picture with this post is of our granddaughter in her white unicorn costume and holding her orange pumpkin bucket.

Hope your Halloween was a good one as well!
