But I do remember "investigating" Stephie and Michelle's candy, by the time the other two came along my ruse was up and the girls learned to bargin with me. Occasionally one would go for the brownie points and willingly give up the goods for nothing, immediately making me feel guilty and refusing to take any without and easy bargin. Not sure if that child was extra generous or extra clever.Lannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16018584509455303394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-51284660139234360072012-10-31T21:24:12.302-05:002012-10-31T21:24:12.302-05:00Lovely post and wonderful photo.

Back when I was a kid trick or treating we were on the farm and my dad would drive lots of us on a wagon being pulled by his tractor from farm to farm for Halloween all the farms did this for the kids at Halloween so instead of seeing cars it would be tractors and wagons full of kids running up the driveways . Yup we squeezed our costumes over our coats but us farm kids didn't care we were used to being out in all kinds of weather and candies were a huge treat for us . No trick or treaters for us here in our village as the kids here are mainly Mennonite .

I think I learned the hard way that if you wear something fitted, you'd have to cover it up in order to go trick or treating. But as you noted on my post, costumes were never very elaborate back then.

We knew every single house we went to, just like yours...good times.<br /><br />That said, I am not looking forward to tonight...they say we will only get around 25 kids, I can only hope that there is no damage.<br /><br />JenRURAL https://www.blogger.com/profile/11871803235521431504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-12082790166707833002012-10-31T09:16:33.740-05:002012-10-31T09:16:33.740-05:00Oh happy memories of halloweens gone by.

I remember that there was a time when my two boys would invite the neighbor three guys and the other neighbor two guys to go with me up and down the streets. Cold weather, ice and snow, whatever the weather it had to be done. That seems like a long time ago.L.
