WHERE HAVE ALL THE CHILDREN GONE?

   Where have all the children gone. Long
time passing. Well, they've been passing
our house for a long time on Halloween.
    Of course the neighborhood, like many
neighborhoods, has changed over the years.
There used to be a lot more kids living near
us. And most all the families knew each
other.
      For the past few years we've visited my
daughter on Halloween. But we always left
a small supply of treats on the porch with a
note wishing visitors a Happy Halloween
and inviting them to take a candy bar or a
bag of chips.
      Each year the stash remains untouched!
      True, there are fewer kids and some
empty lots close by. And a nearby housing
development probably offers far better odds
of picking up a lot more goodies.
       Even my daughter's house had fewer
Trick or Treaters this year. Or maybe we
just had a lot more candy because there's
a lot of left overs.
       The treats are still out there to be had.
I saw my grandson and grand daughter's
candy being sorted on their living room
floor. They'll be eating candy through
the Christmas season.
        As for those "extra treats" we ended
up with, I will sacrifice and deal with them
myself!
         Hope you're got some tasty treats
leftover too and that all your NEWS is
good!
