When I was a child I loved Halloween. Remember the stake center trunk-or-treats? I remember the parking lot and the cars being so huge. There seemed to be so many cars! I remember people decorating their trunks with spider webs, lights and bubbling cauldrons filled with dry ice and spooky music. Inside were all sorts of games. Musical chairs, the fishing pole booth, bobbing for apples and the cupcake walk were some of my favorites. I remember being frightened by some of the costumes which were quite mild compared to what showed up on my doorstep tonight. Funny how I don't remember the candy. Well like any other mother, my children came home with their pillow cases filled with candy. How their faces were beaming with their conquest of getting "as much as they possibly could." Oh the joy and innocence of being a child. If only we all lived close to share our days and moments with each other. We miss you all- Happy Halloween. Time 'o' time turn back your flight, make me a child again just for the night.
