Halloween Night

Although there were showers on an off all Halloween night, the tricksters still came in large numbers to claim their candy. It must not have deterred too many kids and parents, because our total number of trick-or-treaters was two hundred and fifty plus. The first visitors rang the bell at 5:45 pm and the last, two teenagers, came to our doorstep at 9:20 pm.

We had plenty of help handing out candy bags this year. Dave, and Tom and Wendy, were very helpful with the dispersal of treats and Nancy took her turn at the door on many occasions as well. Mr. Axeman was reduced to a limited role. Upon answering his first doorbell he scared the two little tricksters to the point of tears (unintentionally, of course). The visitors were little children that were easily frightened by such a freakish looking character (anyway, so says Beales). The Axeman, who is actually rather harmless for the most part and only a little uglier than most monsters, was asked to stay in the background the rest of the night - out of sight, and he was only allowed near the door when adults were present. Poor old Axeman - he meant no harm! Heh, heh, heh!!

We were well fed prior to meeting the tricksters. Nancy fixed a meal of meatloaf, rice, peas and a small salad. Later in the evening we had dessert. Nancy prepared a Halloween cake and Wendy brought cookies and other treats.

All and all, a fun Halloween night!! Check out our Halloween pictures to the right and at the bottom of the blog page. Wendy took several of the posted pictures and Jim (Mr. Axeman) also captured a few.
