This evening, we'll head to the town park where townspeople who wish to participate set up and hand out candy -- both store-bought, plastic-wrapped goop AND yummy homemade goodness. Halloween isn't halloween without a few handmade popcorn balls. And no one around here throws them away -- they're doubly appreciated.<br /><br />No door-to-door, traffic-jammed street insanity, knocking on porch-lit doors & begging. Just wandering around the park, in the daylight, with others who wanted to be there, enjoying the (free) weenie roast put on by the fire department, silly games, and lots o' sugar.<br /><br />Then home for homemade pizza!<br /><br />(I'm still sewing costumes and candy bags this afternoon.
