You know it's the end of October when the neighborhood is filled with so many great Halloween decorations!
Groups of children, usually accompanied by parents will be going door to door and shouting Trick or Treat and hoping to fill their goody bags. I'm lucky enough to live in a town where there are neighborhoods where it is as safe as we can make it for children to enjoy childhood
Houses that don't want to participate leave their porch lights off.
When I was a kid my mother made us empty our stash of candy out onto the kitchen table. She would inspect the wrappers on every single piece to be sure none of them had been tampered with. Only then were we allowed to eat any.
Hope everyone has a safe Halloween!
