Halloween
Yeh, yeh, I know.
But this is a small town and small towns live for Tradition! So the Wednesday before the big day is always Trick or Treat even if the big day is a Friday or Saturday. Go figure!
The Scooby Doo gang just left and so did the cutest little cheerleader! We are giving Tootsie Rolls and Sour Patch Kids, but actually, we are eating the Sour Patches ourselves.
So there!
And the good news is, the big kid that lives here has plopped Himself on a chair on the porch and is distributing the Tootsie Rolls and eating the Sour Patch Kids. That many less for me! Yeah!
One Halloween, he and his buddy dressed as scarecrows and sat on the porch very, very still. (These scarecrows-on-the-porch (stuffed) are another local tradition.) They looked pretty good. A little girl (8?9?) came on the porch. Her dad was just outside the circle of the porch light.
She rang the bell.
They s-l-o-w-l-y rose.
She screamed.
Her dad laughed so hard that I am sure he wet himself.
Trick or treat!
Baby Bear is finished. And it is as cute as a bug's ear (huh?):
Now to figure out what to do next. . .
