Tues 1 Nov

Beautiful evening for Halloween trick or treating last night. I sat out on the front steps in my bright orange jacket for the first hour and a half since the porch light didn't come on til 6 pm. We had 178 trick or treaters; I used one big Costco bag and found a bag of York patties leftover from Christmas to finish the night. Next year we will just buy one big bag and maybe a couple regular size bags from Target or such and not bother with a second big bag to return if not needed. It's too hard to know if you'll get enough to justify opening that second huge bag, and the last three years now, we haven't.
