Well, it's 6:30 now, been dark for a while, and so far not even one kid!
It really is a shame how it's changed since we were kids. We used to have such a great time - Halloween was second only to Christmas! We ran all over the neighborhood (supervised) and nobody worried that anybody was trying to poison us! The lady across the street used to make these big popcorn balls and we'd always make sure we went to her house first so we could get some before she ran out! My grandfather used to spend days getting ready for Halloween! He got such a honk out of it! He'd make homemade peanut butter cookies and wrap them all up. He'd get these little bags and fill them with a couple of cookies, several pieces of candy, and then drop in a few nickels or dimes. The neighborhood kids LOVED him! Seriously now ... where did all that go???
