I have that same problem...while you are at Walgreens, maybe you can pick up some Hersey's Milk Chocolate nuggets (plain with nothing added) and save them for me. I can't find them anywhere!<BR/><BR/>Boy, it's amazing how many memories can be pulled from people about different holidays, huh? What a fun way to spend the day!!<BR/><BR/>See ya ...HermitJimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13631580830147175636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474304103076898115.post-52206910448386614112008-10-21T11:48:00.000-05:002008-10-21T11:48:00.000-05:00Morning Jim, Lots of good memories again as usual....Morning Jim, <BR/>Lots of good memories again as usual. You tell such a good story! <BR/>Am going to Walgreens today for a birthday card so will pick up some Kit Kat's while I'm there. I totally forgot about them this year. <BR/>Oh and the candy I bought 2 weeks ago for the season ... mmmmm. Guess I need to stock back up. hahaha <BR/>Later, <BR/>blondie :))blondiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10569854928013832857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474304103076898115.post-23055479229813625632008-10-21T09:20:00.000-05:002008-10-21T09:20:00.000-05:00Hey Sis...I don't remember the copperhead thing, b...Hey Sis...I don't remember the copperhead thing, but I do remember the bicycle road. I think that each and every person remembers the holidays in their own way. It's cool that you could leave your candy bowl out on the porch and still have candy left. Maybe that's a good sign, ya know?<BR/><BR/>I'm glad you found the time to stop by...HermitJimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13631580830147175636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474304103076898115.post-32881252387586467452008-10-21T09:13:00.000-05:002008-10-21T09:13:00.000-05:00Hey Bubba, Playing catch-up today.

As usual, I enjoyed every one of them!<BR/> Boots used to make the best popcorn balls I ever ate. I think it is a shame that children can't<BR/>have home-made goodies anymore. Leah and Jason pass out regular size candy bars. They just hold the bowl down and let the children<BR/>get whichever one they want. The year I was in Missouri, I had to leave the house so I left the candy bowl on the front porch with a note saying "Help Yourself". When I came home, I still had some candy in my bowl. I supplement candy with small packages of colors and play-douhg but I think candy is still the favorite.<BR/> Off the subject, remember our" bicycle road" when we lived on South Acres? Do you remember the incident involving the copperhead?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474304103076898115.post-75715111527776579512008-10-21T08:52:00.000-05:002008-10-21T08:52:00.000-05:00Hey Sis...I think I do remember the ghuy with the ...Hey Sis...I think I do remember the ghuy with the pennies, but maybe it's only the story I remember. We are starting to see more kids coming out in the last couple of years, which I think is great. I only wish they could have as much fun as I think we did.<BR/><BR/>Love ya, Sis<BR/><BR/>Hey Lydia...thanks so much for dropping by. You know, I think I have been in a store that had candy in barrels. Glad to hear that the ugly wax lips are still here and that the whustles have survived as well. I think that oranges and apples are a good idea, but kids won't appreciate them as much as we used to.<BR/><BR/>Hwey thanks, ladies, for taking the time to visit. I really do appreciate it.<BR/><BR/>JimHermitJimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13631580830147175636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474304103076898115.post-81310404311542461442008-10-21T07:52:00.000-05:002008-10-21T07:52:00.000-05:00Meant to add that I think they stopped making the ...Meant to add that I think they stopped making the cigarette shaped gum but the candy whistles and the waxed lips are still around...There is a store here that has barrels of candy sold for 1-5cents a piece. The kids love this store ...you probably would too :)<BR/><BR/>lydiaLydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18267902449369439536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474304103076898115.post-27447264667483873522008-10-21T07:43:00.000-05:002008-10-21T07:43:00.000-05:00Hi Jim,I do pretty good as I don't much like sweet...Hi Jim,<BR/><BR/>I do pretty good as I don't much like sweets EXCEPT for Almond Joys, so I just don't buy those. I grew up in Yugoslavia where candy was rare, if at all, so I just never developed a taste for it. My one daughter is exactly like me, but the younger one likes anything whatsoever sweet. So this year we have bags of chips to give out. <BR/>(but am sure as time comes closer - I will also get candy)<BR/><BR/>Halloween is on a Friday this years so we will likely get loads of kids.<BR/><BR/>lydiaLydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18267902449369439536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474304103076898115.post-80632093174872124282008-10-21T07:19:00.000-05:002008-10-21T07:19:00.000-05:00I remember one trick-or-treat special - do you rem...I remember one trick-or-treat special - do you remember the guy who had a bowl of pennies and we got to have as many as we could scoop up in one hand? Might have been after you quit going out with us, but that was really different! Not much to do with candy, but we never have any kids coming around, so I have no excuse for buying the good stuff I like!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
