Mine was spent readying for older "goblins" for a show that happened that following Saturday. It was also a lot of fun :-)Robbhttp://www.fandalism.com/robbfosternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6974665.post-41433069657260694612013-11-01T13:08:51.875-03:002013-11-01T13:08:51.875-03:00As a child, you have no idea what an imposition it...As a child, you have no idea what an imposition it is to call upon your neighbors ,that do not fully embrace this night of community. Last year, I chose to embrace the holiday. I had a cd playing loudly from the garage--a New Orleans jazz collection,something I enjoyed to pass the time and to give the impression there was a good time being had by all in the garage --now I need party sounds to complete the charade. In any event, we wiled away the few hours in the yard enjoying the music, the reactions from trick or treaters to the "body" on the table covered with a sheet and the chalk body out lines --- not very visible at night though we tried to position them in the steet pools of light. Anyway, it seems the visitors are chauffeured from neighborhood to neighborhood. Those on foot were treated to calls from my coyote heckler, purchased from the local hunting shop -- I did get a kick out of making annoying sounds, but this year I had to work. so I was absent in the antics. Good for you LouAnn for embracing the evening. If neighboors pool their resouces and have a block party approach to the festivities, music and a "town hall" gathering--- they can catch up, chat and hand out candy while having a seat in a comfortable yard chair and enjoying light refreshments. it is possible to buy into holloween--- baby steps at a time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
