While I thought it would be a great idea to sit in my sun porch and wait for the trick or treater to arrive...I lit my two lanterns (glass, not jack-o) and sat myself down with my notebook...I might as well as held a flashlight under my chin! Not only could I not see anyone coming up the walk, I had lit myself up like a beacon in the process. And just when I got my eyes adjusted and got myself settled in the least conspicuous spot...my living room light on the timer popped on! |I guess I have it set for 7pm;) Most of the kids coming to my door seem to be older. I think I have had even more than last year already which is a bit of a surprise. Usually my numbers have been going steadily down each year I have been here. The first year or two were the only years I wasn't home to give out treats as I had to work at Wal-mart, but every year since then...which would now be three, I have been home. It's always so disappointing to me to see people turn off their lights and close their doors. I know for some it is a religious reason, and that's fine, because those people aren't taking their own kids out to other people's houses to get treats. It is the ones who reap, but never sow that bug me! And for me that's something, because I always got someone else to give out the candy when I was on Bartlett. When the kids were little I took them out, and when they were older they even gave out the treats...I have just always hated answering the door at home...still do! I guess it's a phobia, along with all my others, but the point is...I do it! Just for that I give myself a pat on the back:) While I was out last night looking friday night looking for costume ideas for E I saw the stores putting out all of their Christmas stuff....I'm just sayin....Till next time...I'll say Wen....
