I am sure that he was a stalwart enough lover of things to pay no attention at all to her nagging; but how wonderful it would have been if he had known what we know now about his dawdling.

Our older daughter is not yet 2 so we just stayed home tonight. She loved the kids coming to the door and their costumes (except those teenagers in regular clothes who didn’t say “trick or treat” or anything and just held out a bag). We had several kids stop by for trick or treat. I gave them all bluegrass CD’s and told them halloween is the devil’s birthday.
