Sarah's CircleFriends are blessings that sustain our journeys. |
I have fond memories of Halloween when I was a kid. My sister and I were usually princesses. A friend of my mother had given us some old party dresses to play in. They were very fancy and frilly, and what had been knee length on her was floor length on us. They were too big around of course, but my mother cinched them in around the waist with a big sash. We thought we were beautiful! In those days there were no parental escorts. The neighborhood kids all roamed for blocks to go trick-or-treating. Everyone knew all of us and there was no concern about safety. I remember that the sheriff’s house was always decorated the best, and his wife sat on the porch dressed like a witch and stirring a big cauldron. It was all great fun. After trick-or-treating, we would go next door, where one of my best friends lived. Her name was Cynthia. Her mother would make us hot chocolate and we would drink it while devouring a sizeable portion of our candy. It seems funny in retrospect that the drink of choice was chocolate. I’m sure we were on a sugar high for hours! --Terese
