Bryan and I have no children and no relatives who live on this side of the continent. Our house is out in the middle of nowhere, and we don’t get Trick-or-Treaters.
We pretty much have lost Hallowe’en completely. It has been about five years since we carved pumpkins
When I lost my house, I was “tempted” to move into an “Over 55 Mobile home Community”.
However, they Specified:
NO DOGS OVER 20 POUNDS
NO MOTORCYCLES
NO LOUD MUSIC
(I am a gun-toting, Harley Riding Rock Bass Player with a Big lab)
So I moved into a complex with lots of kids, dogs, motorcycles, and loud music.
I fit right in!
And i told the folks at the over 55 where they could place the double-wide they were trying to sell me.
I don’t get as many trick-or-treaters though, as i used to, and always end up with leftover candy!
(sigh)
We get no trick-or-treaters. We are only about a mile from a small community but the kids are taken to places where there are more houses.
I usually buy my favorite candy just in case someone shows up ... Dove Bars, Hershey w/Almonds, butterfinger or Payday.
When Junior was very young, I took him to the small community where we knew most everyone.
I took him to the postmistress’ and she said ... Oh how cute you are; get your Mommy and come in for hot chocolate and some chocolate chip cookies. It is a favorite memory. We made the elder lady happy and the cookies were wonderful.
My MIL always looked forward to the neighbor children; she wanted them to take off their masks so she could see who they were and she could pinch their little red cheeks.
Halloween is for kids and older people who do not get out much.
