Glad you got home safely. What will the job be like after training is done and you are home?

It sounds like trick-or-treating with Alex was good, but I'm sorry the walking hurt you. It was cold here. Halloween morning we woke up to snow, which melted a lot during the day but not completely. Today it looks like winter out there, and is still snowing. I'm going to get a picture up on my website, but I have to get brave enough to go out there and take one first. I need to feed the sheep anyway.

My kids got plenty of candy. The youngest one already ate it all. We only had one group of trick-or-treaters (4 kids) at the house, but people just don't go house to house anymore. Groups meet up at the church parking lot and have "trunk-or-treating" instead, just walking around car to car. Some businesses have trick-or-treating available too, like the manufactured home dealers. It's just not the same. We don't need all the candy (this way we actually tend to get and distrubute a lot more, but just hand it out faster), but I don't think it's as fun as it used to be. But maybe for the kids it still is.
