We planned our costumes weeks in advance. Never bought anything. Found some old dress etc of mother's or cut up old sheets. Never was afraid to go all over town to get treats. It was a small town so no fears.<br /><br />We don't have kids in our neighborhood today so no one comes around. I would even hesitate to open my door if the chimes rang. Our porch light is not on. My Halloween fun will be found on my blog. nothoughtsnoprayersnonothinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17050957744819107032noreply@blogger.com
