Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	Last night, when my daughter came in with the little ones from trick or treating, my great-nephew (aged 4) dumped his bag and stared counting. It brought back fond memories of landing home after hours of running through the neighborhood gathering as much candy as possible. And back then, most people only gave one piece. Now these kids take handfuls and aks how much they can take. As kids we'd empty our bags and sort by types of candy, then we'd trade with friends and siblings, and hoard the grocery bags of sweets in our rooms. Did you count, sort and trade? _________________________ Founder Emeritus of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com

My son - -age 17! - - and a couple of his friends went out trick-or-treating last night. They STILL do the exact same thing. They got home, dumped their bags on the bed, and started trading. I scored a couple of Almond Joy Minis because none of them like coconut!

chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	Did anyone notice that this was one of the first Halloween nights in years when the kids didn't have to wear RAIN gear? Talking to my mom yesterday she reminded me that since we were smaill children it either drizzled, or rained on us all on Halloween. The weather was kind to all the children this year. Since no children come to the homes in this resort, gates are kept locked, I took several big bags of assorted candies to "Safe Nest" a place for abused women and their kids. I also brought face paint, and the kids loved having their faces painted. I just figured if those kids can't get out to trick or treat, I would go to them. It was such a lot of fun... _________________________ Take a peek at my BLOG: http://charleen-micheles.blogspot.com/

What a nice idea to spend time with these children. _________________________ chick ~ Here is the test to find whether your mission on Earth is finished: if you're alive, it isn't ~ ~ Prayer is the most we can do for another human being ~

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	chick, what's the temp where you live? The older I get, the less I like the cold. Poor things! chatty, what a great way to spread cheer. How big is the shelter? We have a woman's shelter in the city that our chruch was once involved with. Families would take dinner and cook it in their big ktichen, then serve and play with the kids. I was always taken by how loving and affectionate the kids were. They would literally hang on our legs. _________________________ Founder Emeritus of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com

Just wondering, did you eat them on the way home from the gym yesterday? Ah, that was rotten!

I ate two of them Friday night, and the other two on Saturday. Yum! No gym for me this weekend, but plan to be back at it tomorrow. I think I'll try that slow-mo weight lifting.
