Tomorrow we begin preparations for Friday’s Trick or Treat night.  My neighbor and I will carve only four pumpkins this year.  Hate to admit it, but we are getting older and if we carve more than two pumpkins apiece, our hands are killing us for days.  To top it off, my porch is so crowded with Halloween props that four pumpkins will be quite enough. 

     I won’t have a moment to spare for the blog during the next two days.  Not only will we carve pumpkins on Thursday, but also we will begin cooking up a storm for our annual party that we have as soon as the kids are off the streets Trick or Treat night.  

     All day Friday, we’ll decorate the porch-we have to have everything in place, working, and be in costume by six o’clock.  (Occasionally, we’ve had kids arrive as early as five o’clock.)  We’ll put the final touches on the inside party food and when the clock hits six we’ll start the fog machine and crank up the music.  When eight o’clock rolls around, the people we’ve invited to join us are already here or they begin to show up at the door and our party begins. 

     See you Saturday…
