Halloween

 Happy Halloween
 
Were you bombarded with ghoulish  creatures tonight?    We had 214 at our door and were quickly running out of candy.  John said he was going to start asking for their zip code as they were coming by the carloads.  Some were discrete by parking at the end of the street while others just parked out in front and unloaded the kids.  Fortunately, we had our friends Marco and Maria to help again ( 3rd year) pass out the treats.  Marco gave $1.00 to the one hundreth person.  Mike, Riley and Taylor were numbers 95-98 so they missed out, but Riley made up for it in candy.   She decided that she would help us pass out treats and received many compliments in her dainty Tinkerbelle costume.  Even two former students showed up again ( last 3 years) this year. ( now in high school)  They surprised me by coming twice -changing costumes so I wouldn't at first recognize them. Adore those boys!!  Two of Maria's former students also surprised us. Ben was out prowling in his costume with his friend Will.  We were surprised by a call from Zacary in Washington.  He moved there with his dad and stepmom last month.  He took his baby brother trick or treat to one house and called it a night.  I could tell that he is lonesome for Modesto.  He is planning on coming home for Christmas.  We all miss you Zacary!!!   Grandma Marge
