Leonard, Thanks....I think. We only give out Snickers and Reese’s Pieces peanut cups because that’s the only leftover candy we like.
When we moved to this gated community 14 years ago, all the kids were small . The association wouldn’t allow the gates to be opened and thereare only about 24 homes here. Everyone grew up and, for many years, there were no trick or treaters anymore.Happy to say we’ve had an influx of new, young families over the past 2 years but still not enough to warrant even 2 small bags.

We use to deck out houses big time with eerie music and smoke coming out of a cauldron (nothing I cooked) and decorations galore. When my grandkids were little I gave them each a bag of candy and toothpaste and floss. So I miss that. My son lives near a neighborhood that has its streets closed off for several hours so the kids can roam. We all went over there to Orlando quite often. The homeowners had popcorn machines and would sit outside having a party and drinking margaritas. They had security and the streets were reopened around 10 Pm I think. More fun than Christmas. When my son in law retires in a few years we are going to move. Gated communities are death traps for seniors if they don’t drive. I need more activity and excitement around me.
Talking to you is not enough....haha.

Anyway, the only concoction I will make will probably be a smoked bourbon. Or maybe a Bloody Mary . Have to check the vodka status next door at my daughters. Use to love Halloween so much ....now I only wear a ghoulish t shirt and spider earrings.
Made a shirt last year that says Happy Hallowine with dancing skeletons.

What do you do? Or is showing up at the door scary enough? hahaha
