Happy Halloween

Had to do a little housework this morning before Keith arrived. Was cold again this morning...around 38° when Hiker and I got out of bed. I normally do not do Halloween. Ben and I welcomed Trick-or-Treaters when we first got married, mostly because my oldest niece Darrah was about 3 years old and we knew she was coming by in her costume. When we moved into a mobile home park in Pacoima, CA, we stopped because the park would not allow kids inside the park. They would set up tables at the entry gate and give out candy there. So for the 11 years we lived there, we got used to not giving out candy. When we moved to Canyon View Estates where I live now, we didn't do the candy thing because the community was so new, there were not very many people here at that time, so we never continued the custom. But since Keith is here, he and I decided to get some candy and sit out on my front porch to hand it out. Didn't want the kids actually coming to the door because Hiker will be freaked out enough as it is. We went to have some pizza and salad for lunch then went buy Wal-Mart and Sam's Club. Got some candy for tonight's kids at Wal-Mart and some other things I needed at Sam's Club.
