Back again....

I was remembering another Halloween when we lived in East Oakland. We lived upstairs in an 8 apt. building. There were lots of families there with lots of children. My kids were out with some of the neighbors kids and adults and then came home. I heard another bunch coming upstairs and a knock on the door. I opened it and here stood the biggest clown I ever saw saying "trick or Treat"! And then she laughed. It was one of my neighbors on the other end of the building ! She was always a lot of fun!!!!How she ever had the time to fix herself up like that I'll never know!!There was another time in later years but I'm trying to figure it out in my mind, when Tim and Brian were little. Marilyn and Bob had fixed them up in costumes and took them out in the neighborhood. I can't remember now if Brian had gone up to the door for candy or not but all of a sudden some big person in a horrible mask scared him and he ran right up to the house where a lady was passing candy and ran right in the door!!!! I do remember Marilyn and Bob coming home laughing their heads off!!!!Time passes and things are not safe as they were then. Linda, my niece, was out with a bunch of little ones and as they passed this one house there was something fixed up like a man sitting in a chair and as she passed by she heard the "guy" speak. She said as loud as could be "Oh s---t!" then she heard the guy who lived in the place laughing! He had hooked up a speaker to this figure in a chair!! If you want to know about Halloweens, just talk to my oldest grandson, Tim! He's like a kid and fixes (or used to) fix up his house like a haunted house or whatever every year his Father tells me! Every year he has to outdo "last year's" decoration!Do you still do that Tim???? Love you!
