Rain in the forecast tonight, so I’m not sure how many trick-or-treaters we’ll get. John bought a couple of big bags of mixed candies…when that’s gone (or at 8:00 pm, whichever comes first), we’ll turn off the porch light and call it a night.
Deb, our Halloween hours are 5:00-8:00. Diane bought THREE big bags of mixed candies so we should be okay. The mild weather might bring a record number of trick-or-treaters to our door tonight.
I’m going as a Childless Cat Lady and am dressing all the animals in the house as Revenge-Seeking, Haitian-Eating Springfield Pets.,,Should go over well in the MAGA-loving Florida Panhandle.
We’ll go out with our younger daughter, son-in-law, and two-year old granddaughter. Quick trip around their neighbourhood before it gets dark. We used to accompany our other grandkids, but at 15 and 11, they’ve aged out of trick-or-treat.
We haven’t had any trick or treaters here in years – they go on the Avenue in the afternoon, where even the Chinese takout place has bowls of candy for the kids, or to the one and two family houses behind us. The apartment houses don’t get much action, even from kids who live in the building, so Jackie wouldn’t let me buy a bag o’chocolate.
When we were kids, before we moved to Brooklyn we lived in an apartment building and I remember ca, 1957 going around the two buildings on our block. My brother and I and a close friend all were Zorro (then current on Disney), with another friend dressed as a French chef.
Trick or treat in Waukesha is always on Halloween and always in the dark (5-7 pm) – the best way.
I love seeing the kids; they’re always so excited over the candy.
Last year the weather was SNOW so only 13 hardy souls. This year it’s colder but I think the rain will hold off.
I never guess correctly in regard to the number of goblins who visit my house. My neighbourhood has changed over the years with only a few young families. Because I live in what is considered by many people in other areas of the city as being an upper-class neighbourhood, we do get people coming here with their kids. I usually end up with more goodies than I needed. I have to go out around 5 p.m. and won’t be back until 7;30 or so, I am putting out my stuff on a table on my front step with a sign Happy Halloween Don’T Be Greedy. We shall see.
I unbagged all the candy. 480 pieces, which considering the mild weather won’t be near enough. We may be going dark early this year. (We usually make it to 8-8:30.)
What are you going as this year?
Dan, I’ll be handing out candy to the 100+ kids who show up tonight. The weather is mild–70 degrees!–and no rain until later tonight.

Jerry, Childless Cat Ladies will be out in force on Halloween…and Election Day!

Fred, Diane loves the cute costumes the little kids wear when they come to our door. The teenagers who show up in make-shift costumes…not so much.

Jeff, I remember taking Katie and Patrick out trick-or-treating…in the snow!

Beth, by the end of October in Western NY, snow was always in the forecast. No more. We’re in the 70s this week with a chance of rain tomorrow.
