Happy Halloween-ween! It is a beautiful fall day. I miss the Halloween I had as a kid. Friends my age-you know what I mean. The real Halloween-ween. Making our own costumes was a huge part of the fun. Some years we planned for weeks, consulted with each other, eves dropped, got Grandparents involved-pretty good stuff! Some years it seemed to sneak up on us-those were the 'Hobo' or 'Ghost' years. I know your picturing it now. My Dad would take us after dark with a flashlight. No sidewalks on our street-oh horrors! We knew to stay out of the way of cars and of course they drove slow and watched for us. It was the one night of the year you got to see every one that lived in the neighborhood. Not too many surprises there but Flour Bluff had a military base and us locals were always happy to meet 'the new ones'. It was just as fun to pass out the candy after hearing "Trick or Treat. Smell my feet. Give me something good to eat". Times they are a changing as Bob Dylan says. I wish some things just stayed the same way. Have a Happy Halloween. kisses
