Halloween Is for Children

Communities throughout the mid-Atlantic and Northeast postponed Trick or Treating this year, including some towns not far from here. But the weather here wasn't bad enough to postpone it, just drizzly and cold enough to make it less than fun.
But we had our Halloween party anyway. Donovan and Jocelyn Weber brought Nora and Ruby to see us, and Grandma and Grampa Verna and Bill Weber came along too. They brought all kinds of good bread and crackers and cheese to go along with Evelyn's vegetable soup and hot cider, and we had a big time.
Even though it was something close to miserable outside, the younger Webers visited several of our neighbors, and Ruby especially was excited to see her stash of goodies after they got home. We skipped our tradition of sitting in the driveway with hot cider for the neighbors and stayed inside to visit with our friends instead. We made the cider anyway, and it was great. The younger Webers especially enjoyed it after being outside in the chill.
Maybe we've established a new tradition.
