Halloween-Ish Memories

Halloween-ish Memories For Suzy Von Geldern I miss you most of all at Halloween. The way you'd greet the 'little munchkins' as you called them, and praise them for their costumes. With your laughing eyes you'd feign surprise or fear -then invite them to take candy from a basket by the door. “I vant to bite your neck.” you’d say, with the empasis on ‘vant’ and we’d all giggle in our costumes and delight in the escape. Why, you'd make the hallway dark and spooky with a flickerin' Jack O Lantern- a pumpkin face that Ned would carve each year. My mind fills with memories of the plastic ghost of Dracula hung each year in that same spot on that same wall- We’d pull the chord repeatedly to hear the awful moans . Yes! It really is at Halloween, I miss you most of all Halloween Contest

Beautiful yet sad memory here Suz...I loved Holloween when I was a youngster...Almost everything was homemade back then...Popcorn balls, candied apples, even cake! Congrats - Tim

Sounds like I should come to your house on the 31st. Maybe try expanding on the subtleties of Halloween too.
