Halloween is fast approaching!

I have such vivid memories of Halloween night when I lived on military bases as a kid. We carried pillowcases and hit every house in enlisted housing, running from one to the next, and when we finished, our parents would load us up and take us to officer housing (where they had the best candy!), and we’d hit every house there as well. We’d come back with months’ worth of candy and then sit and trade for our favorite kinds.

For me, it was Tootsie Rolls.

I live in a rural area now, so we don’t get Trick or Treaters here, and I do miss the kids showing up at the door to get their treats. Our kids dress up and hit the major parties at the churches and on Main Street. I used to go with them, but I’ll wait at home for them to come back (yes, even the 15-year-old will find a party she can go to). When they come home, they always search their buckets for my favorite candy to share.

I’d love to hear about your memories of Halloween. And for a chance to win a $5 Amazon gift card, tell me your favorite Halloween candy! Enjoy the puzzle!
