Trick Or Treat

Today our little community had its annual trick or treat event. I was visited by super heroes,bums,impossibly fat women who were only two or three feet tall and a princess and our share of cowboys. They crept up on our porch knocked tentivly on our door and as we answered we were greeted with a few "trick or treats" more than one "just put it in the bags" a occasional "thank you" and lastly a "no thanks I don't like potato chips"
It made me think back to my youth when we had our "Halloween Season" it lasted for four or five days and all the kiddos would dress and go door to door. We covered one or two streets each night and occasionally we would get tricked as well as treated. Some of our neighbors went way out of their way to hide behind the bushes and scare the bejeasus out of us when we came around and we would all scream and some even cried as we ran for the cover of the street lights. The secret was you would never know what was to come and I think that is what made it the most fun for us.
I wish just once more I could put on my costume and go door to door and get my litle treats and then under the cover of the street lights share and trade with my friends. It was a great experience then and believe it or not it looks like great fun still...............HAPPY HALLOWEEN !!!!

~ Finally Finish ~

I finally finished changing my blog around and applying all of the changes. I had no idea that that wouldn't just follow me over form my original blog but no matter it needed a update worse than I do. I plan to start posting by tomorrow in a more serious manner and I thank all of you who gave me words of encouragement. I hope that I am up to the task..............................

~ A NEW LOOK ~

I think it is appropriate that my decision to start anew is coupled with a new look so here it is. Take or leave it we move on from here.

~A FRESH START ~

I suppose it is time for a new start,a new beginning so to speak. I have not posted for some time, due largely to a lack of readership. I realize now that that is a important part of blogdom......you have a desire to be heard or why else post it. I have convinced myself that if you build it, they will come. So once more I commence my effort into bloddom and hope that I can find a readership so that I no longer feel as though I am shouting into the abyss.....................
