Hallowe'en

Oh dear!  Not a good day for you, Beth. We just can't afford to fall, at our age, as the consequences are more severe than with younger folk.

We bought a big box of goodies--not to give away--but to eat.  (The price was right) We tried a couple but found them old and stale and not worth eating ( again,  consequences), so for the first time in many,many years had goodies to give away at the door.  I can't remember the last time we did that.  I'm pretty sure we haven't at this house, but David seems to think we have.  When I used to be all alone at Hallowe'en,while David drove his father to Florida, I never gave away anything at the door.

We had just enough to take care of the younger ones that came early, and ran out before the older ones came around.  Some of the little ones were so cute!  We had a little dragon with glow in the dark wings--3-4 years old, and another little angel, about the same age, who was accompanied with about 5 older children.

We haven't played bingo in years, and never won anything at it, so don't miss it at all.

Tomorrow, I have to make up my Apple Crisp for the freezer, and plan to cook a corned beef brisket for supper.  We found some of them for sale at Safeway, but could only afford one. We used to try to order one once in awhile, but the order never seemed to get filled, so we gave up.  It's a meal I relish, and it cooks up nicely in the slow cooker.  Since it is pickled, not smoked, as so much of the corned beef is these days, David can actually eat it with me.
