Hallowe'en

Hallowe'en 2018 has come and gone. The spirits are are rest for another year.
It was a bit damp, and windy, but not really raining and not very cold so our little group of trick-or-treaters went out armed with their Hallowe'en buckets as soon as it was dark enough.
I stayed to answer the door and to give out the goodies. This year we provided goldfish crackers, potato chips and corn chips.... no chocolate. It's too easy to eat the leftover chocolate.

This year we had Iron Man, a robber, and a police officer with us. The police officer kept trying to arrest the robber, who of course resisted, so thank goodness we had the assistance of Iron Man. Always good when you have a SuperHero to call on in times of need.

With three of them out trick-or-treating, the mountain of Hallowe'en loot was pretty large. Mummy made sure that lots of it disappeared very fast and will reappear eventually as school lunch treats.

  2. We always gave out chocolate. Trouble is that we ate everything before Halloween so we ended up back at the store at the last minute to refill our coffers. I believe I read that the egrets originally came from the Nova Scotia area.

  3. Wow, Happy Nov. 4th birthday. I like that concept of it being 25 hours long...(:0)
    Actually our day was pretty lazy after "pigging" out at The Black Bear Diner for a free birthday breakfast for me...

  11. Hi Shammy. Re the election: We are very happy that the Dems took the House but Trump still has the Senate and can do a lot of damage. In Florida, we lost a good senator to our former guv who is a master criminal - he master-minded the largest case of Medicare Fraud in history and people still elect him to public office. He policies put our state in jeopardy in terms of climate change and oil drilling. The guy who won the governor's office is another criminal - corruption is middle name. And he ran a racist campaign against a black man. So, we have mixed feelings and emotions ... winning the House does put a break on Trump and that's very good.
