Today is Halloween.
Around the world.
What memories for most of us.
Some of us are now living through
our school aged children;
And some are now living through
our grandchildren;
And even some yet through our greats.
We have always loved the excitement
of costumes, what are we going to be?
It has to be something so GREAT...
Something NOBODY else would think of.
Something magical...
Today kids have Halloween buckets
for their treats, or they have little bags.
We didn't have those when I was a kid;
we used a pillow case, and you tossed it
over your back much like a hobo.
It was the one time of the year,
we got candy for FREE...
Lots of candy. I remember the fun
of taking our sacks home, and sorting
through them. We would trade candies,
some we didn't like for ones we did.
Pixie straws were one of my favorites.
Popcorn balls were the BEST.
You never traded those.
I remember some of the houses were
scary, and the people sat up on the
porches in the dark waiting to holler
"BOO" when you approached.
Others would open their doors
slowwwlly, and a hand would
come out. I would run,
I didn't stick around. They
would holler to come back, but
by that time I was 2 doors down. I
didn't like the scary houses as a kid.
Tonight as the little ghosts
and goblins come around.
Give them some treats
and not to many tricks.
Pleaseeeeee.
Oh and for tonight;
DONT" FORGET:
As always, thank you for stopping by,
my little piece of heaven,
here in the desert,
that I so love to call home.
Country hugs and much love,
