I Survived Trick-or-Treat!

Morticia.pngI wrote about the Halloween preparations in my new neighborhood. It turns out that my neighbor may have exaggerated just a little about how much candy they gave out last year. She had spent about $80 total, plus had some homemade goodies That still sounded like a ton of candy to me! I had a bin, about the size of a laundry basket, filled with cheap candy ready. I set up a table on the porch and had plenty of chairs for socializing. I had a fresh pot of coffee and a bottle of Southern Comfort (of which I only took one shot). I enlisted the help of a friend (at least I hope he considers us friends wink wink). I put my witch hat on and grabbed the camera. At 6PM sharp, the hordes arrived. There was a steady procession of princesses, clowns, superheros, witches, and Hannah Montanas for two hours straight. I early abandoned any plans to count them, but I would guess several hundred. After the regulated trick or treat period, we had stragglers for another hour until it just got too cold. At the end, I had a little bit of candy left! Hooray! My neighbor crossed over and said this year was light, only about half as many as last year. She speculated that the local football game kept some folks away. Hmm.. next year, Halloween will be on Saturday night. That's going to be a party!

I posted more pictures at Miss Cellania.
